“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Information quite literally must be sifted through the layers of the medium’s personality. (Pause.) The nervous system reacts to the information even as it translates it. Nothing is neutral. Nothing can be neutral in those terms. The information is received and translated, as it must be, into mechanisms which the nervous system can handle and interpret and translate in physical terms. The information then, like any perception, becomes a part of the nervous system’s structure. It cannot be otherwise.

Any perception of any kind instantly alters the electromagnetic and neurological systems of the perceiver. In your terms, physically, that is what perception is—an alteration of neurological structure. The perceiving mechanisms themselves change and are changed by that which they perceive, and I am speaking now of your physical system, and the physical nature of any perception.

It is literally impossible for you, and it is a logistic contradiction to imagine, with your physical structures, that any perception can be received unless the perceiver’s own inner situation is altered. I am trying to make it as clear as possible that information automatically blends with, is intermingled with, and enmeshed with, the entire (pause), physically-valid (hyphen) structure of the personality.

The slightest perception to some extent alters every atom within your physical structure, and this in turn sends out its ripples, so that as you know the most minute action is felt everywhere.

—for it has all kinds of implications that we cannot cover in an evening, but it will be more than worthwhile for us to pursue them. Now whether or not a medium is in a trance that is as deep as the Atlantic Ocean, the medium will not be a pure channel. The ego will simply be bypassed, but the other layers of the self, the neurological structures particularly, will continue to operate as always. They will be altered by the perceptions that flow through them.

In your terms therefore I can be in many places at once, and conscious of so being. It does not mean that I am less in one place than another. (Pause.) Now in some way that you are not ready, or should I say able, to understand as yet, I help Ruburt to perceive clairvoyant information more clearly, in that I help to direct the kinds of alterations that occur within his neurological structure.
