While inhabited by the usual human consciousness, the living body operates as an intense focus point. The conglomeration of consciousnesses within it on all levels focuses its own network of communication. This private network is connected to all others like it. There are levels of interaction then simply between all bodies, electromagnetically and biologically. The network is more far-reaching than that, however. Not only can all cells respond to each other, but their mass activity triggers even higher centers of consciousness to respond to a given set of world conditions, rather than to other quite-as-legitimate world conditions that do not fit the accepted pattern. Probabilities to some extent, then, are determined along cellular lines. This should be obvious.
When consciousness is being specified, it always sees itself at the center of its world. All specifications of consciousness and all phenomenal appearances occur when the basic units of consciousness, the CU’s, emerge into EE units, and hence into the dimensions of actuality in your terms. Your mainly accepted normal consciousness is within the matter of your body, and through it — the body — you view your world. There is nothing to prevent you from viewing your body from a standpoint outside of it, except that you have been taught that consciousness is imprisoned within the flesh.
(“All right. Thank you, Seth. Good night,” I said at 12:01 A.M. and Seth was gone almost at once. See the Preface at the beginning of this book. Jane said that although Seth hadn’t actually considered my specific questions about psychology after all, they had served as an impetus for the Preface. She felt good. I read the Preface to her — and she felt even better.
(A long pause, one of many, at 10:07.) The body’s very structure will in itself set patterns for the kinds of probabilities that can be practically experienced. The source-reality out of which all else springs is never predetermined — that is, predestined, or even set. The universe in any terms is always being created. Period.
[...] Next it flows into our probable (physical) reality (which itself changes all the ‘time.’) We inherently possess separate pockets or pools of experience (biologically valid among the cells’ characteristics), sidepools where information collects for processing before flowing into the ‘official pool of consciousness.’
[...] Usually we experience it through neurological connections; that’s when it seems vivid or alive, but actually it’s that way all the time. [...]
“Actually I think today’s experience was a different kind of approach to what happened to me when I was sleeping last night … After reading over all of this material, I see that on both occasions I was experimenting with the process it describes — trying to dip directly into a ‘sidepool’ of data and bypass usual neural connections.”
