“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Such dreams do not basically imply a return to a distant past, for to the cells all things are present. (Long pause.) This reality is a basic part of your present existence, and simply represents a dimension of actuality that the ego cannot, by its nature, admit.

The organism is the center of this happening, then, the core. The ego attempts to stand apart and observe, but in order to do so it narrows the available field of perception. Once it has formed its characteristics, it has already become too specialized to do more than observe certain limited fields of activity. It is of course itself observed by the inner ego, which has managed to maintain its position securely within subjective reality, where it has a wider though somewhat less intense viewpoint.

Cellular consciousness is a part of the consciousness of the inner ego or inner self. Very loosely speaking, cellular consciousness is to the inner self what the subconscious is to the outer ego. There are of course many differences however.

(“What’s that connection with a February event?”)

(Seth helped us out with our interpretations after break, as sometimes happens. Whenever possible we prefer to make as many connections between the data and the envelope object as we can on our own. Our purpose in conducting these experiments in this manner is to see what Jane, or Seth, can pick up about a concealed object that bears some kind of emotional charge related to us personally. To this end, envelope objects are often deliberately chosen by me with emotional involvement in mind, since Seth has said many times that his abilities have an emotional basis; this primary emotional basis is then disciplined and given shape by the intellect.

(“My fair lady—I do not know to what this refers.” In his letter Wendell makes no reference to this in any way. Seth begins to clear this up after break but an interruption interferes.

(First Question: What’s that connection with a February event? “I am not sure, though the number 17 seems connected to it, or 14, between the 14th and the 17th of February.” As explained, the object for tonight contained a letter written by Wendell Crowley in answer to my letter of last February. My letter could well have been written between February 14 and 17.
