“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. As you know, the inner senses belong to that part of human personality that is not physically materialized. At various times I have spoken concerning the reality of what you refer to as the astral body. You must remember that over a year ago we discussed tissue capsules. The astral body is of this nature. It is composed of electromagnetic components. It is simply the unseen self.

The basic consciousness is never physical. Yet within your system it must collect experience within the physical system, hence the physical body. But experience itself is not physical, and cannot be contained within physical matter. Therefore this experience, collected within the physical field, is held in codified form by this inner self or astral identity. It is only by understanding the connection between the physical and nonphysical self, and the communication systems that operate here, that the true nature of human personality can be studied

Now. Regard the inner senses in connection with the nature of action and electromagnetic reality, for the perceptions of the inner senses are themselves action, and as such they change both the perceiver and the thing perceived. You can see then that even this astral image is always in motion and never static, and its condition alters the physical self even as the physical self acts upon the astral image.
