“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Its composition is not easy to explain in your terms. At your end there are strong chemical and electromagnetic connections that you do not understand. These in large measure help form the physically oriented ego, or at least form its characteristic manner.

Without these chemical and electromagnetic connections, (voice louder) the ego as such would not exist. The ego is largely dependent upon the physical mechanisms that compose the corporal image. It has its beginnings with corporal birth. While we speak of the ego, this part of the self is hardly permanent or constant, but ever-changing. However the intellect is also a portion, or an attribute, of the ego.

Obviously the ego is a part of the whole self. Directly its experiences must be physically oriented, and yet with training it can also learn to appreciate realities that are not physical. It must not be pushed, but with the proper attitudes it can and must participate to some extent in all psychic experiences, if the overall stability is to be maintained.

Now where the ego operates you will always find chemical repercussions; to some extent or another then the physical body will be involved. Deeper or less familiar portions of the self exist without a chemical manifestation. These usually take electromagnetic forms to some degree however.

Now I am speaking not only of legitimate projections, but of projections vivid enough to be recalled and recorded. Projections in other words in which the ego can take at least some small part. Spontaneous projections of which you are not aware occur frequently.

In other positions it is the ego and intellect that suffer most, and since our purpose is to enlighten them as much as possible, this is not to our advantage.
