“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. These generic images are composed of highly complicated electromagnetic complexes. They have nothing to do with physical vision. They are built up through cellular memory, and are to some extent activated replicas of previous forms.

They are aware of your egotistical self, but very dimly. You are their environment, so to speak, and they are aware of your health and vitality as it affects them and their own well being. Some are stronger than others. Some are intrusive. Your whole physical system contains these generic patterns and images. They are held together and unified by the higher organizations of the self.

When these organizations break down or collapse, for any reason, these generic patterns are no longer held in their subordinate position, and become more highly activated. In some cases this gives rise to the hallucinations of the mentally ill.

The generic patterns set up certain organizations among themselves, maintaining direction over some cellular functions, and are closely allied with the movement and purifying agencies of the blood, and also with kidney function. Their vitality is influenced by the seasons, and runs in cycles of ten to fifteen days, followed by a more relaxed period. They are also connected with your ability to utter vowels, and they are themselves sensitive to sound.

In some trance stages however, you may become aware of these generic patterns, you see, project them outward, and think you are perceiving some strange apparition. This kind of experience could take place immediately before a projection, you see, though this is not usual.
