“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Your dreams affect your cellular reality, even as that reality is also largely responsible for the fact that you dream, in your terms, at all. Dreams are a natural “product” of cellularly-attuned consciousness. As fire gives off light, cellularly-attuned consciousness gives off dreams.

The creative act is your closest experience to direct cognition. While your consciousness thinks of itself in physical terms, whether you are living or dead, then you will still largely utilize thinking patterns with which you are familiar. Your consciousness is cellularly-attuned in life, in that it perceives its own reality through cellular function that forms the bodily apparatus. The psyche is larger than that physically attuned consciousness, however. It is the larger context in which you exist. It is intertwined with your own reality as you think of it. On those occasions when you are able to alter your focus momentarily, then the psyche’s greater experiences come into play. You are able to at least sense your existence apart from its cellular orientation. The experience, however, is circular, and therefore very difficult to verbalize or to organize into your normal patterns of information.

Thought takes time, and exists by virtue of cellular composition. Consciousness not focused in cellular construction involves itself with a kind of direct cognition, involving comprehensions that come in a more circular fashion.

Again, cellularly-attuned consciousness generates dreams. Consciousness, riding on a molecular back, generates a physical reality and events suited to it.

Now, the future is also present in cellular consciousness. The ego, again, simply censors dreams from the cellular consciousness level when they deal with time that is not yet physical in your terms. Cellular consciousness is usually considered as simply a repository for past knowledge having to do with personal or racial existence. Because of the spacious present however, cellular consciousness also contains blueprints of the future.

Cellular consciousness itself straddles, so to speak, various levels of sleep activity. [...] In sleep cellular consciousness often intrudes into the dream process, appearing in the form of dream images. Cellular consciousness is highly codified in actuality, much more emotional than visual, and the visual dream images are but translations of inner comprehensions. [...]

[...] Therefore you see, even dealing with the past, cellular consciousness does not involve knowledge of a closed and finished time of existence. [...] Cellular consciousness mirrors these changes, you see.

Cellular consciousness is a part of the consciousness of the inner ego or inner self. Very loosely speaking, cellular consciousness is to the inner self what the subconscious is to the outer ego. [...]

[...] The cellular structure at that point responds to light, and activates latent abilities in the cellular structure of the mother’s body. [...]

[...] They are that sensitive to the consciousness within cellular structure. [...]

[...] These [symbols] are consciousness’s attempt to portray cellular memory. [...] Cellular integrity itself can be threatened. [...]

(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. [...]

[...] (Pause.) So in a state of illumination private cellular memory may be animated, and beyond this, a deeper level of knowing in which your own birth and death may or may not be explained.

Give us a moment … At basic levels, of course, the motion of a muscle involves the motion of cells and of cellular components. Here I am saying that the atoms and molecules themselves, because of their characteristics, not only deal with probabilities within the body’s cellular structure, but also helps the body make predictive judgments about entities or objects outside of itself.

[...] The CU’s¹ that are within all matter have a memory bank that would far surpass any computer’s. As cellular components, the atoms and molecules, therefore, carry memory of all the forms of which they have been part.

[...] At these deeper levels the cellular activity includes making predictive judgments about the environment outside of the body. [...]

[...] From your standpoint this represents a deep state of unconscious creativity — at the cellular levels particularly — by which all cellular life communicates and forms a vital biological network that provides the very basis for any “higher” experience at all.

What you call dreaming is obviously dependent upon this cellular communication, which distributes the life force throughout the planet. [...]

The psychological symbols with which you are familiar in natural terms rise up like smoke, inherent in cellular structure itself. [...]

[...] Love, purpose, belief, and intent — these shape your physical body and work upon it and with it even as at other levels cellular consciousness forms it.

[...] (Intently:) The physical basis rests latently within your own cellular structure, however. [...]

[...] Each triumph you make as an individual is reflected in your species and in its cellular knowledge.

Give us a moment … In a way you are all your own mutants, creatively altering cellular formations. [...]

[...] Then quietly:) Basically, cellular comprehension straddles time. [...]

[...] This would almost amount to a cellular thinking process, but it is actually a gestalt of relatedness in which cellular comprehension was, and is, passed throughout the physical organism.

[...] Before cellular specialization occurred each cell could combine with another indiscriminately. [...]

Neurologically, you tune into only a portion of your body’s reality and are ignorant of the great, tiny but tumultuous communications that are ever flying back and forth in the microscopic but vital cellular world.

Electrons in your terms are precognitive, and so is your cellular consciousness. [...]

[...] Those disturbances are the result of a slowing down of prior effects of faster-than-light activity, and represent the emergence into your space-time system of energy that can then be effectively used and formed into the cellular pattern.

[...] The greatest biological creativity takes place while you sleep, for example, and certain cellular functions¹⁰ are accelerated. [...]

[...] For that matter, cellular comprehension and reaction are too fast for you to follow. [...]

[...] Cellular comprehension is not tuned into by the normally conscious self, which is equally unaware of its own free-wheeling nature at “higher” levels. [...]

[...] In some cases of healing, in the spontaneous disappearance of cancer, for instance, or of any other disease, certain alterations are made that affect cellular memory, genetic codes, or neuronal patterns in the past.

[...] It is impossible, of course, for you to examine cellular structure now as it exists in the present and simultaneously as it existed in the past (very positively). [...]

Cellular memory can be changed at any point. [...]

[...] Viruses that are “deadly” in certain stages are not in others, and in those later stages they react biologically in quite beneficial ways, adding to the body’s stability by bringing about necessary changes, say, in cellular activities that are helpful at given rates of action. These in turn trigger other cellular changes, again of a beneficial nature.

[...] The cellular announcement was made that the strong possibility existed, for the birth and death of each cell is known to all cells in the world….” (For material on cellular communication, see Session 804 after 10:45.)

“Cellular communication is too fast for you to follow. [...]

[...] The inner cellular body consciousness feels itself massive, while to you cells are minute. The sounds of the package, for example (as Seth, Jane crumpled an empty cigarette package), or the fingernails across the table (demonstrated), are magnified, for in the cellular world they are an important outside-the-self cosmic event — messages of great importance. The cellular consciousness experiences itself as eternal, though to you the cells have a brief life. [...]

[...] You know that the cellular structure of it changes constantly. [...]

[...] A certain cellular structure may seem inevitable within its own frame of reference only because opposing or contradictory probabilities do not appear therein.

[...] Ruburt now, again, is experiencing massiveness, as in your idea of probabilities the cellular structure feels its vast endurance. [...]

This is not only a valid psychic truth, but is the basis for cellular integrity. [...]

[...] The urge toward self-fulfillment at all levels, cellular to “self-conscious,” is a part of the entire structure. [...]

[...] Now, although the cells maintain individuality and do not lose any of their abilities, in this formation into cells there is actually a pooling of individual consciousness of atoms and molecules into, and to form, an individual cellular consciousness. [...] The combination of individual consciousness into a combination forms a new, enlarged, more powerful cellular consciousness that is capable of much more experience and fulfillment than would be possible for the isolated atom or molecule.

[...] Each cell, however, has its own consciousness, and when I speak of consciousness as being an attribute of cellular life, I speak only for convenience, since actually cellular life is an attribute of consciousness.

Yet the units of consciousness, being independent of space and time, form your cellular structure, and that structure deals in a most basic manner with the nature of probabilities. [...]

(A one-minute pause at 11:22.) Such behavior even causes a certain corporal dishonesty, for the cells’ freedom from time means that on certain levels the cellular structure is aware of probable future events, as mentioned (just before break). The body, therefore, is reacting to future and past activity as well, in order to maintain its present corporal balance.

2. A note added later: Seth does add to his material on cellular precognition in a number of later sessions in The “Unknown” Reality. Among others in Volume 1, see sessions 690–91 in Section 2.

[...] The cellular structure at that point responds to light, and activates latent abilities in the cellular structure of the mother’s body. [...]

[...] They are that sensitive to the consciousness within cellular structure. [...]

[...] There are [in your memory] the most complex organizations and associative frameworks, that exist both in the depths of your cellular structure and in the highest reaches of your conscious activity.

[...] The nerves and the cellular structures at their tips take pictures. [...]

[...] Seth’s ideas of cellular memory, however, add many new dimensions….

[...] Had you been relaxed, following your impulses, and unhampered by the fearful beliefs that your friend’s condition also aroused, then those cellular messages would have been smoothly translated into an impulse to call Leonard, or to have Ruburt call. [...]

[...] The cellular signals were sent out, but you could have reacted to them in any given number of ways once you received them. [...]

[...] The brain, of course, and other portions of the body, tune into your planet and connect you with numberless time sequences — molecular, cellular, and so forth — so that they are synchronized with the world’s events.

(10:10.) The knowledge of the body’s own biological probabilities takes place at those ancient levels, and at those levels there is activity that results in a cellular communication existing between all species. [...]

[...] Cellular consciousness at its own level then forms a body dream. [...]
