“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.”

(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.

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.

On the one hand his own personality is enlarged in that the self structure includes far more perceptions than ordinarily. Further actions are recognized and interpreted. The speaking systems however and mental faculties have to be trained to handle the additional data; this of course causing some distortions along the way.
