“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

However, as we know the cell is a part of the body, giving nourishment and receiving nourishment from it. [...] If you considered the body as a closed system, which it is not, then you could say that the self of the cell had as its limitations only the limits of the whole closed system. But the system is not closed, and through the participation of the cell in the activities of the body, which is an open system, then you could truly say that the cell itself had no limitations.

It is obvious that physically there is no one self, since the molecules and atoms that construct the cells, that construct the organs, change constantly. [...]

[...] As an individual cell can be considered to be apart from the rest of the body, as its outer rim can be considered as something that divides it from the rest of the body, so the self can be considered as apart from the universe, and its outer skin thought of as dividing it from the rest of the body.

The consciousnesses of the cells within it, however, are eternal. [...] The main identity continues to exist, even as the consciousnesses of millions of cells still exist that at one time were part of the body.

[...] 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. [...]

(9:27.) The cells [with their] genetic packages, like all cells, react to stimuli. [...] I have said before that in one way or another each living cell is united with each other living cell through a system of inner communication. [...]

[...] The information is alive (intently). We are speaking about a kind of biological cuneiform, in which the structures, the very physical structures, of the cells contain all of the knowledge needed to form a physical body—to form themselves. [...]

[...] They are emitted by the cells, for example, in plants, animals, rocks, and so forth. [...]

[...] They can completely envelop, for example, a small cell, or retreat to the nucleus within. [...]

(10:14.) These natural states activate within your cells “past” memory having to do with joyful cellular response, brought about by particular events in your lifetime whether you are aware of them or not.

This personal kind of cellular memory in turn triggers other layers within the cells to varying degrees. [...]

[...] When this occurs “all by itself” it is an innate reflection of the psyche’s creativity and happens with its own rhythm — connected to seasons of the mind and blood and consciousness and cells in ways that you do not as yet understand. [...]

[...] The latent, easily flowing innate “knowledge” of the molecules builds up the “knowledge” of the cells (smiling). [...]

[...] The cells within your fingers know this reality and this joy. [...] Listen to the knowledge within the cells of your fingers and they will teach your intellect what joy is—and from this your intellect can learn to sing! [...] Then shout yes with joy -the cells of your body shout yes. [...]

(With gentle irony:) No one told it that it was impossible to grow from a tiny cell — change that to a tiny organism instead of a cell — to a complicated adult structure. [...]

[...] It will be forced to recognize the innate ability of all cells for what we may call telepathy, for there will be no other solution in answering many questions.

[...] This in itself is a complicated subject, and yet when I am finished it will be shown that telepathy is an intimate, innate ability within all cells.

[...] Some of our past sessions, particularly those explaining the initial appearance of matter, will set you clear, and you will see that the explanations I gave you then would have to involve such elementary telepathic communication between cells.

[...] There is a cellular communication between or among all of earth’s living cells, as if the earth itself were one large physical body.

[...] A test of fluid drawn from the heart area had shown free-floating cancer cells. [...]

If the universe were a painting, for example, the painter would not have first painted darkness, then an explosion, then a cell, then the joining together of groups of cells into a simple organism, then that organism’s multiplication into others like it, or traced a pattern from an amoeba or a paramecium on upward — but he or she would have instead begun with a panel of light, an underpainting, in which all of the world’s organisms were included, though not in detail. [...]

Give us a moment… Your universe did not emerge at any one point, therefore, or with any one initial cell — but everywhere it began to exist at once, as the inner pulsations of the invisible universe reached certain intensities that “impregnated” the entire physical system simultaneously.

[...] Your cells are creative. [...]

In such a way the cells retain their memory, though you do not perceive it, and the body is aware of so-called future occurrences, though as a rule you do not consciously sense this. [...]

(The junction between two nerve cells, or neurons, is called the synapse. [...]

This could not happen if your physical structure did not have built-in mechanisms allowing it to, and if under certain conditions the normal intervals between the synapses of the nerve cells could not be leaped in a different fashion. [...]

[...] Your thoughts affect your cells, again, and they can change what are thought of as hereditary factors. [...]

[...] A cell does not fear its own death. [...]

[...] It cooperates with other cells. [...]

It is easy for you to see how the cells of the body form it — that is, you understand at least the cooperative nature of the cell’s activities. An alteration on the part of one cell immediately causes changes in the others, and brings about a difference in body behavior. [...]

[...] If that were the case, it would take more than a world-sized globe to contain the consciousness of simply one cell”

[...] The fact is that you are managing the physical composition of your bodies in a much more efficient way than you did before, as a result of your changing ideas, so that the cells themselves are more lively. Their movement—the movement within the cells is more flexible. [...]

[...] Some of his cells have been the cells of animals, and the animal knows he will look out through a man’s eyes.³ The earth venture is cooperative. [...]

It was known, however — and unconsciously written in the cells and mind and heart — that this procedure would only go so far. [...]

[...] A photograph lives in the present of your psyche, and a fossil in the living vitality of your cells (spelled).

We have seen that all experience is retained in electrically coded data within the cells, and that the material of the cells forms about this coded experience. We have seen that the ego begins, sparked into being, by the inner self, greatly influenced by heredity and physical environment; and that this ego as it continues to exist gradually builds up an electrical reality of its own, as its experiences form into coded data within the cells.

“Each cell believes in a better tomorrow (quietly, with amusement). I am, I admit, personifying our cell here, but the statement has a firm truth. Furthermore, each cell contains within itself a belief and an understanding of its own inevitability. [...]

All of this reminds me that lately the media have carried a number of stories detailing how medical science is not only trying hard to approach cures for scourges like cancer (in cancer’s case, possibly through the exploration and understanding of the role played in the cell nucleus by altered normal cells called oncogenes), but is already claiming to have narrowed down its search to specific genes that affect imponderables like behavior—depression, for example. [...]

It would be impossible at this time, I’m certain, for a researcher to find any evidence that reincarnational heritages are coded for among the approximately 100,000 genes lined up on the 46 chromosomes we carry in the nucleus of each of our cells. [...] The genes in each cell have their individual jobs to do in furnishing the quivering templates for the manufacture (via the nucleic acids DNA and messenger RNA) of all of our bodily proteins. [...]

[...] What other wonders might our cells contain? [...]

[Each] cell, then, as I have often said, operates so well in time because it is, in those terms, precognitive. It is aware of the position, health, vitality, of all other cells on the face of the planet. [...]

[...] The body was lovingly formed from EE units through all the stages to atoms, cells, organs, and so forth. [...]
