“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

All of this presented a quite erroneous picture. Physically speaking, earth itself has its own kind of gestalt consciousness. If you must, then think of that earth consciousness as grading (spelled) upward in great slopes of awareness from relatively “inert” particles of dust and stone through the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms. Even then, remember that those kingdoms are not so separate after all. Each one is highly related to each of the others. Nothing happens in one such kingdom that does not affect the others. A great, gracious cooperation exists between those seemingly separate systems, however. If you will remember that even atoms and molecules have consciousness, then it will be easier for you to understand that there is indeed a certain kind of awareness that unites these kingdoms.

This inner and yet physical transmigration of consciousness has always been extremely important, and represents a natural method of communication, uniting all species and all physical life. Inside all physical organisms, therefore, there is a thrust for development and change, even as there is also a pattern of stability within which such alterations can take place.

For additional material on cellular life and death as mediated by Seth’s CU’s, or units of consciousness, see the 688th session between 10:26 and 10:59: “When the cell dies physically, its inviolate nature is not betrayed. It is simply no longer physical.”

At the same time, EE units (see Note 3) became manifest. [...] The EE units contain within themselves the latent knowledge of all of the various species that can emerge under those conditions. [...] You can say that it took untold centuries for the EE units to “initially” combine, forming classifications of matter and various species, or you can say that this process happened at once. [...]

In Volume 1, Seth carried this material a step further through his description of his CU’s, or “units” of consciousness. “I do not want you to think of these units as particles,” he said in the 682nd session (given in February 1974). “There is a basic unit of consciousness that, expressed, will not be broken down….” [...]

[...] Evidently it would lead from biology through microbiology to physics with, ultimately, a search that at least approached Seth’s electromagnetic energy (EE) units and units of consciousness (CU’s). [...]

[...] To Jane’s and my way of thinking, if there’s value fulfillment there’s consciousness, expressed through CU’s, or units of consciousness.
