“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Before tonight’s session I read to Jane this question: “In the 462nd Session, page 232, you say [meaning Seth] that any perception, however slight, alters every atom within our physical structure. Not to be nitpicking, but others as well as ourselves are sure to want to know just what you mean by this alteration.”

(“Do you mean changes in the atom such as the number of electrons and/or other particles, literally; or are you referring to the nonphysical content of energy within, or carried by, each atom? Or is this a concept difficult to put into words? Jane doesn’t have much of a scientific vocabulary.”

Now give us a moment. (Pause.) Returning to the material on perception, there are changes in the positive and negative atomic charges, alterations of movement inside the atoms in the smaller particles (long pause), a change in pulsation rate. (Long pause; eyes closed; smile.) The activity of molecules actually is caused by perceptive qualities. To begin with, atoms do not just move within themselves because they move because they are atoms.

(Pause.) Each of the molecules or particles within the atom are perceptively aware of all the other particles within the given atom. They move in response to stimuli received from each other, and to stimuli that come from other atoms.

(Seth slipped up in the first sentence of this paragraph; being busy writing, I did not catch it at the time. Molecules are not within atoms; it is the other way around, molecules being composed of groups of atoms.)

The entire act has its own electromagnetic reality, and the event is actually electromagnetic motion. The movement within the atoms mentioned earlier therefore is a part, basically, of the entire perceived event. Does this make the issue plainer for you?

Physically then you perceive an approximation of an inner event. The inner event basically is not physical. (Pause.) Now, as simply as I can put this, thoughts and emotions form, of their own electromagnetic reality, vitalized physical products called atoms and molecules. This is basically what I told you in our early analogy with the mazes and the wires.
