SESSION 697

Now: Dictation … These idealizations (as discussed in the last session) are certain kinds of psychic patterns, then, occurring at different levels. In certain terms they become the cell’s private “idea” of its own growth and development, a picture alive within the cell in terms of physical information, a part of its structure. Such idealizations provide their own impetus; that is, they will grow toward their own greatest fulfillment.

NOTES: SESSION 697

1. Jane referred to the concept of living information from another angle in her quoted material at the beginning of the 694th session, in Section 2. Also see Seth’s material on units of consciousness at 10:06 in the 682nd session, in Section 1.

In Personal Reality, too, Seth tells us: “Information does not exist by itself. Connected with it is the consciousness of all those who understand it, perceive it, or originate it. So there are not records in terms of objective, forever-available banks of information into which you tune. Instead the consciousness that held, or holds, or will hold the information attracts it like a magnet … The information itself wants to move toward consciousness. It is not dead or inert. It is not something you grab for, it is also something that wants to be grabbed, and so it gravitates to those who seek it. Your consciousness attracts the consciousness that is already connected with the material.” See the notes following the 618th session, in Chapter 3 of Personal Reality.

3. Note 2 for Session 695 lists some of the ways in which Seth uses “official” and “officially” in connection with our ideas of physical reality.
