“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I would like to add to the discussion we began in our last session. The fetus sees the physical environment. The cellular structure at that point responds to light, and activates latent abilities in the cellular structure of the mother’s body. Quite literally, he sees through her body and with the aid of her body.

Now the fetus also hears, and the same thing applies here while within the womb. He hears sounds from the physical environment, but also sounds within the available range of reality that you do not accept. When the infant is born, he still hears these sounds and voices, but again, they do not answer his physical needs, nor bring milk when he cries, and gradually he discards them.

For some time he literally perceives many levels of reality at once, and part of what seems to be disorientation is simply the result of early confusion with so much data. According to the individual and the situation, the fetus may still be receiving messages from those he has known in the past. This adds to the confusion, and it is a matter of physical survival that he largely ignores these messages while he learns to focus in physical reality.

He is quite aware of temperature changes, for example, and the weather. He is in telepathic communication with animals and other people, and on a different level he is in a kind of communication with plants and other such consciousnesses. Plants will react quite sharply to an abortion. The fetus, however, will also react to the death of an animal in the family, and will be acquainted with the unconscious psychic relationships within the family long before it reaches the sixth month.

The plants in a house are also quite aware of the growing fetus; the plants will also pick up the fact that a member of the family is ill, often in advance of physical symptoms. They are that sensitive to the consciousness within cellular structure. Plants will also know whether a fetus is male or female.

I would rather tie this into our information on the fetus.

Now: the fetus utilizes these units. So does any consciousness, including that of a plant. Cells are not just responsive to light because this is the order of things, but because an emotional desire to perceive light is present.

The desire appears on this other level in the form of these electromagnetic units, which then cause a light sensitivity. These units are freewheeling. They can be used in normal perception or what you call extrasensory perception. I will discuss their basic nature at a later session, and I would like to tie this in with the fetus, since the fetus is highly involved with perceptive mechanisms.
