“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Long pause, hand to closed eyes.) Perceptions in general physical terms usually seem to involve information picked up from an arbitrarily designated structure, of an event seemingly occurring in another structure outside of itself. In the entire act of perception, however, there is a oneness and a unity between the seemingly objectively perceived event and the perceiver.

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?

Egotistically you make arbitrary designations of necessity, perceiving only portions of any given action; again, the ego attempting to separate itself from overall action, and to see itself as an entirely independent structure.

Remember that you are a part of what you perceive. Now in many instances of so-called paranormal perception there is what would seem to you a reversal of focus. It seems to you that the burden of perception in on your part as perceiver.

There are constant interchanges on all levels. I will try to explain this to you more clearly. Remember also in your terms that the seemingly independent perceived event and its nature is changed and altered by your own perception of it.

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.
