“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This is not only a valid psychic truth, but is the basis for cellular integrity. Perhaps nowhere else is the basic cooperative nature of reality more apparent than at microscopic levels. There, a physical basis for life as you know it is built up through a creative—I am not sure of the word I want: symbosis—

symbiosis—in which the survival and health of each microscopic entity is dependent upon its own identity and its relationship with others. The needs of any microscopic entity are its own. It is propelled to fulfill them. Yet those needs, fulfilled, with seeming selfishness, are precisely those that are required by other entities as well. Nor does such an entity hold its own needs isolated, but “considered” them as a part of a cooperative venture.

The identity of any structure is dependent upon its parts, and yet the parts are also dependent upon the structure. In those terms the body is a safe universe, self-regulating. The urge toward self-fulfillment at all levels, cellular to “self-conscious,” is a part of the entire structure. Obviously the physical world itself attains its organization through a staggering cooperation. “Reality” agrees with you. The physical universe always cooperates. It follows those beliefs of yours, for you physically mold your experience with the universe according to your beliefs about it.

Ruburt said somewhere “Sometimes you lean into the universe, and feel it give.” It is indeed yielding. It is not against you, nor is the world. Some centuries ago, to develop your particular kind of consciousness, the race separated nature from the self for operating purposes. Mankind “competed” against nature, which was to be conquered, so the universe seemed to be a threatening place. In the same way, society seemed no longer to be a group of cooperative individuals, of creatures gathered together; but it became an alien, outside force, threatening the individual as much as it supported him.

In actuality the powerful cooperative tendencies of society have become invisible, so that only the conflicts show.

Joints are being lubricated, but first areas about them had to be released, the body cooperating now in this venture to produce flexibility, as before it cooperated to cut down motion.
