“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This is obviously necessary for physical survival. The organization however is, biologically speaking, artificial and learned. It is no less rigid for that reason, however. The organizational structure of perception can indeed be broken up, as recent LSD experiments certainly show. This can be highly dangerous, however.

The fact that this does occur does show that the systems of perception are not basically biologically a form of overall structure however, but learned secondary responses. It is disturbing to the whole physical system however to break up the strong pattern of perception. Inner stability of response is suddenly swept away. Changes that are not yet known occur within the nervous system under such circumstances, both electromagnetic and chemical.

The practice of psychological time will allow you to reach these portions of the self. The ego is not artificially disorganized by such practice. It is simply, for the moment, bypassed. The experience gained does become a part of the physical structure, but there is no massive disorganization of perception, since the ego agrees to step aside momentarily.

It is not bombarded as with drug experiments, and forced to experience chaotic and frightening perceptions that can literally terrify it into complete disorder. Survival in your system is strongly dependent upon the highly specialized, focused, limited but specific organizational qualities of the ego. It should not be rigid but it should not be purposely torn apart, nor weakened.

(The photo idea however is quite legitimate, since a photo can be related to a painting in many ways. The areas on all of the abstracts are of course filled in, and also the abstract foundation of the paintings relates them to the idea of buildings. In fact a friend interpreted one of them as being a painting of buildings recently. Jane said Seth might not be able to very easily distinguish between the emotional charges connected to a photo and a painting; they might appear much alike to his perceptions. This is even more apparent in the next data, which I break into two parts.
