“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Such images are constructed of emotional energy, but they also are partially formed from the chemical structure of the individual or individuals behind such productions. [...]

[...] According to the physical validity or the extent of physical reality to be achieved, the physical body of the originator then lends, or transposes or transfers, portions of its own chemical structure. [...]

[...] In the same way that the body’s proteins and chemical structures can be used to form various kinds of images, they may also be utilized in a lesser fashion to, say, form an ulcer, a goiter, or to affect other changes.

[...] Because of the intenseness of their waking experience, the chemical excesses build up at a faster rate. Therefore, children have more of this ‘chemical propellant’ to use in dream formation. [...]

The dream world is, then, a natural by-product of the relationship between the inner self and the physical being — not a reflection, but a by-product — involving not only a chemical reaction, but also the transformation of energy from one state to another.

[...] It is connected to you through chemical reactions and this leaves open the entryway of interactions. [...]

[...] Chemicals as you know them, body chemicals, are physical, but they are the propellants of this thought energy, containing within them all the codified data necessary for translating any thought or image into physical actuality. [...]

[...] They are propelled chemically. [...]

Chemicals are released through the body through the skin and pore systems, in an invisible but definite pseudophysical formation. [...]

In physical life the soul is clothed in chemicals, and you will use the ingredients you take into your body to form an image that is in line with your beliefs. [...] Your beliefs about any chemical will affect what it does to you. [...]

[...] The heading referring to the soul in chemical clothes is for the next chapter (Ten), which is the first chapter in Part Two.

When large doses of chemicals are used, the conscious mind is confronted full blast with very potent experiences that it was not meant to handle, and by which it is purposely made to feel powerless. [...]

Mental enzymes have a chemical effect or reaction on your plane. That is they can be observed on your plane through their chemical effect in it. [...] On other planes the distortion effect may not be chemical at all. [...]

[...] Mental enzymes as I have said have a chemical reaction on your planet. This explains the reason why a chemical imbalance in a physical body will also show itself as a corresponding distortion of sensual data. That is, when the chemical balance is disturbed the physical world will appear to have changed.

[...] It is not that your thoughts just trigger chemical reactions in the body, but that your thoughts have a chemical reality besides their recognizable mental aspects. [...]

[...] There was a resultant manufacture of various chemicals within his system that tended to reproduce and perpetuate the depressed state of mind. An overproduction of adrenaline that kept him stirred up, but also an overproduction of certain chemicals that physically slowed him down.

[...] The resultant heaviness of limb, the swelling of various portions of the body having to do with an overproduction of a chemical, I believe, called pectorin, or something very similar.

All chemicals are natural. They come from what was already available to you—you cannot make a chemical except from substances or elements you already have. In certain terms, now, some natural diets of five centuries ago could kill you today, though they lacked any technologically produced chemicals. [...]

[...] Concepts have what we will call electrical and chemical composition [as thoughts do]. [...]

Mental enzymes, by the way, have a chemical effect or reaction on your plane, but the effect itself is, of course, distortion. On the other planes, the distortion effect may not be chemical at all. [...]

[...] A chemical imbalance in a physical body will also show itself as a corresponding distortion of sensual data. That is, when the chemical balance is disturbed, the physical world will appear to have changed. [...]

Camouflage patterns do, of course, also belong to the inner world, since they are formed from the stuff of the universe by mental enzymes, which have a chemical reaction on your plane. [...]

[...] These interchangings occur on many levels: psychologically, chemically, electromagnetically, psychically. [...]

[...] The smallest thought alters chemical and electromagnetic changes in the body that directly affect the structure of the immediate physical universe. [...]

Even the electrical charges have changed, and his chemical properties. [...]

Such images affect your whole physical system through the manufacture of hormones and chemicals. Suggestions, whether given to you or given by you, cause an emotional situation that automatically affects the production of hormones and chemicals.

“Chemicals themselves will not give rise to consciousness or life. [...]

[...] They are propelled chemically. [...]

[...] As you know them, body chemicals are physical, but they are the propellants of this thought-energy, containing all the codified data necessary for translating any thought or image into physical actuality. [...]

[...] Now, chemically the physical body does need to dream. [...] This is the result of certain chemical reactions and chemical necessities, chemical excesses that build up during the days, inciting the mental dream mechanism.

Without dreams the outer camouflaged self would lose all touch with inner realities, or would be in danger of thus denying its own heritage; and therefore the physical body is so constructed that excess chemicals must be discharged and transformed into human action, or the physical mechanism would be clogged with poisons.

[...] With this occurs a chemical overexertion, an attempt chemically to make up for loss of energy in a specific area. [...]

Action and counteraction, operating through chemical enzymes, enable purposeful activity in which no motion is haphazard. [...]

The trouble has been that your scientists see or perceive electrical and chemical systems, for example, only in their relationship with the physical system. [...] And the electrical and even chemical systems play a much larger part within the physical system than matter plays within their systems. [...]

[...] Nevertheless, over a period of time “artificial” chemicals taken with food into the body will form a new kind of nature, in your terms. [...] According to many schools of thought, artificial drugs, so-called, or chemicals, are considered in a very negative light, cutting you off from nature. [...]

Because of the ego’s particular line of development, you have experimented with artificial drugs and chemicals, both in foods and for medicinal purposes, as well as for “religious” enlightenment. [...]

[...] Because of the intenseness of their waking existence, the chemical excesses build up at a faster rate. Therefore children actually have more of this chemical propellant to use in the formation of dreams.

The chemical excesses built up in the waking state are automatically changed as they are drained off, into electrical energy, which also helps to form and sustain dream images. [...]

[...] Not a reflection, therefore, but a by-product involving not only a chemical reaction but the transformation of energy from one state to another.

[...] And because it is connected to you through chemical reactions, this leaves open the entryway of interactions, in animals as well as men. [...]
