“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I wasn’t decided whether to ask Jane to hold an envelope test. On the one hand I didn’t want her to feel I was pressuring her for a test every session; on the other hand I wondered whether she would think I was taking it easy on her if I skipped the test. So I thought I would see what developed in the session.

In such circumstances these perceptions may find their way to the ego, appearing as inspirations or intuitive thought. It is obvious that many such intuitions appear when the personality is in a dreaming state or in states of dissociation. The intuitions themselves, while seemingly mental, are action, and as such they produce changes in the physical organism, both chemical and electromagnetic.

The reality of such intuitive thoughts as electromagnetic actions has not been understood, and is quite vital to any comprehension of the human system. I have said before that thoughts exist in such a dimension. Constructive thoughts do not simply affect the system for good in some sort of a generalized fashion, nor do destructive thoughts simply happen to affect the system directly.

The effect of any thought is a quite precise and definite one, that is set into motion specifically because of the nature of its own electromagnetic identity. The physical system operates best within certain electromagnetic patterns, and is adversely affected by others. These effects change the actual molecular structure of the physical cells of the organism, for better or for worse, and because of certain laws of attraction a habitual pattern will operate. A destructive type of thought, then, is dangerous not only for the present state of the organism, but dangerous in terms of the future.

Poor health is indeed caused mainly by habitual destructive thought patterns which directly affect the physical system, because of the particular range within the electromagnetic system in which they fall; and despite any objections I will stick by this statement. The bad health, for example, does not occur first, resulting in unhealthy thoughts. It is indeed the other way around.

For these thoughts set up charges that oftentimes cannot be used effectively by the physical organism, and when excesses of such charges occur an illness develops. This is not to say however that illness can be treated using electromagnetics though in the future, the distant future, this may be practical.

(I handed Jane the double test envelope at 10:15. I had decided to pass up the test for this session, and certainly had no thought that Seth would ask me for one.
