“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.

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.

The whole organism operates more effectively, generally speaking, in such a position, but more than this, the whole self operates more as a single unit. The intellectual processes are to some extent diminished in other positions. This has to do as I have said with electromagnetic properties.

Now. There are definite chemical changes during projections. There are also electromagnetic changes that can be perceived with instruments. Certain electrical fields will also make themselves known under these conditions. The fields have always existed but they will only become apparent to physical instruments when they are being crossed. In other words, at the very act of projection.
