“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Time reversal or particle symmetry, the equivalence of space and time, is a tenet of relativistic physics and quantum theory. In the material I have on file on electron spin itself, though, I haven’t found any discussion of Seth’s ideas of: (a) a reversed electron spin and a consequent time reversal, or (b) electrons spinning in many directions at once (even if we could grasp such a situation). Such concepts in association with electron spin may be dealt with in the literature of physics, but are unfamiliar to me or outside my limited understanding. I’m sure also that in ordinary terms Jane knows nothing of them.

Physicists began talking about the spin of electrons in 1925; shortly afterward they began to consider the spin of the components of the nucleus itself. This spin isn’t the orbital motion of the electron around a nucleus, however, but (very briefly) is actually more a measure of the electron’s magnetic field.

The behavior of electrons, for example, will elude your technological knowledge — for in deepest terms what you will “perceive” will be a facade, an appearance or illusion. So far, within the rules of the game, you have been able to make your “facts” about electrons work. To follow their multidimensional activity however is another matter — (humorously:) a pun — and you need, if you will forgive me, a speedier means.

[...] In certain terms, for example, even an electron “knows” it is being observed through your instrument. The electrons within the instrument itself have a relationship with the electron that scientists may be trying to “isolate” for examination.

Quite apart from that, however, there is what we will call for now the collective unconscious of all of the electrons that compose the entire seemingly separate event of the scientists observing the electron. [...]

(Long pause at 3:52.) The electrons themselves have their own subjective lives. They are also subjective events, therefore, so there is always a correlation between those electrons in your bodies and those in the objects you see about you. [...]

[...] Your intent has also an electronic reality, therefore. [...] New sentence: Even as sentences are composed of words, there is no end to the number of sentences that can be spoken — so “time” is composed of an endless variety of electronic languages that can “speak” a million worlds instead of words.

[...] The atoms and molecules are forever moving, and in a way the electrons are the directors of that motion.

[...] In that regard even electrons, for example, dream. [...]

[...] All molecular constructions exhibit that certain kind of introspective activity, as if the inner working of some giant computer was intimately in touch not only with its own programming and the probabilities connected with it, but with a deep psychological awareness of the activities of the electrons and various visible and invisible particles that form its own physical construction.

[...] They are as important to the operation of that reality as electrons are to your physical one (long pause), providing inner pathways for the accumulation of wisdom and pleasure.

Electrons in your terms are precognitive, and so is your cellular consciousness. Your body’s relative permanence in time is dependent upon the electron’s magnificent behavior as it deals with probabilities. [...]

[...] The classical conception of the typical atom as being composed of a neat nucleus of indivisible protons and neutrons circled by electrons is largely passé, although for convenience’s sake we may still describe the atom that way. (In those terms, the one exception is the hydrogen atom, which evidently consists of but one proton and one electron cloud, or “smear.”) For the simple purposes of this note, then, I’m leaving out considerations involving quantum mechanics, which concept repudiates the idea of “particles” to begin with. [...]

[...] But whereas the meson vanishes from our view after its exceedingly brief existence, the electron has an “infinite” life-span. [...] Talk about motion: The average electron orbits its atomic nucleus about a million times each billionth of a second (or nanosecond)!

[...] Did a meson, for example, choose to participate in an atom-smashing experiment in order to merely peek in on our gross physical reality for much less than the billionth of a second it exists with that identity, before it decays into electrons and photons? [...]

I doubt if physicists in the 1920s were concerned about the psychological activity of atoms, molecules, or particles, although it seems that Heisenberg came close to Seth’s idea when he considered the free behavior of an electron emitted by a light ray. Albert Einstein, whose own work was rooted in strict causality, found a notion like the free will of an electron untenable, even though much earlier (in 1905) he had laid the foundation for quantum mechanics in his special theory of relativity.

The electron is one of the wave-particles in motion adjacent to the atom’s nucleus. It would be very large when compared to Seth’s basic unit of consciousness, but because an electron can “move” from the orbit of one nucleus to that of another without traversing the space between, the electron can still furnish a crude analogy to the ability of those units of consciousness to “appear in several places at once, and without going through space.”

[...] Or consider the positron, which is a positively charged electron, a bit of antimatter that’s said to be temporarily moving backward in time. (“Regular” electrons, as we think of them in our world, are negatively charged.)

While this may sound quite sacrilegious scientifically, it is possible to understand the electron’s nature and greater reality by using certain focuses of consciousness: by probing the electron, for example, with a “laser” [beam] of consciousness finely focused and attuned — and more will be said about this later in the book. [...]

The multidimensional aspects of the electron cannot be perceived within your three-dimensional system, using instruments that are already predisposed or prefocused to measure only certain kinds of effects.

When I speak of the terms electronically and chemically I do so for simplification, since electronics and chemicals are two facets of the same thing, merely manifestations of something else as heat and cold or fire and ice are manifestations of something else. I can exist electronically or I can exist chemically, and there is no contradiction or distortion in this statement. [...]

[...] Otherwise you would have a willy-nilly chaotic arrangement, with the personality incapable of maintaining any discipline as far as his own chemical and electronic components were concerned.

[...] Speaking of electronics, don’t get all charged up. [...]

The atom, the molecule, the proton and neutron, the electrons, the quarks and other families of particles represent aspects of consciousness itself, which man then projects into the world of physics.

The physical world is dependent upon the relationship of everything from electrons to molecules, to mountains and oceans, from cultural organizations to private dreams, and in the scheme of reality these are all interwoven with exquisite order, spontaneity, and a logic beyond any with which you are familiar.

Practically, your own identities exist electronically, as I have explained, in codified form. [...] In such cases almost, though not entirely without exception, such a duplicate is projected by an original electronically. [...]

[...] So can the human self appear in several places at once,⁵ each such appearance subtly altering the “human” particle, so that each appearance is a version of an “original” self that as itself never appears in those terms.⁶ When you look at an electron — figuratively speaking — you are observing a trace or a track of something else entirely, and that appearance is termed an electron. [...] In a way, then, you are as ghostly as an electron.

“The spin of electrons is faster than the cellular composition. The faster speed of the electrons somehow gives the cells their boundaries. [...]

[...] Information on electrons, including electron spin, is either given or referred to in notes 8 and 9 for the 612th session.

[...] However, as Jane wrote later in Chapter 11 of Politics: “Finding out what’s happening to electrons, say, is something I really enjoy. [...] I’d rather ‘find’ a lost electron than a lost person any day, for example.”

(She enjoyed the exchange a great deal, she made sketches while speaking on such subjects as the many facets of the electron and its behavior; time and its variations; gravity, its changes with motion, and its attributes in the past, present, and future; the velocities of light; mathematical equations; astronomy, including perceptions by telescope of the future as well as of the past; the structure of the earth’s core; earthquakes and “black” sound/light; language, including glossolalia and her own Sumari; pyramids, coordination points, and so forth. [...]

[...] That is why he can enter into the reality of electrons so easily.”³

[...] Each atom consists of a nucleus of protons, neutrons, and other subatomic particles, around all of which move a complicated system of much lighter electrons. (An atom of hydrogen, however, is made up of but one proton and one electron.) All is in balance: The number of positive charges on the nucleus equals the number of negatively charged electrons. [...]

I remind the reader of a remark Seth made in the 702nd session for Volume 1, when Jane was delivering material for him on electron spin and related concepts: “Ruburt’s vocabulary is not an official scientific one. [...]

[...] In Session 702, Seth discussed relationships involving electron spin and the direction, or flow, of time; also see Note 6 for that session.

[...] Their motion is directed by electrons, so that within itself the nail actually experiences constant motion. [...]

[...] Electrons, for example, are slow dullards in comparison with EE units.¹ It goes without saying that the units of consciousness are “mental,” or if you prefer, disembodied, though from their inner organization all physical forms emerge. [...]

[...] Now the same applies to these units of consciousness — and to atoms, molecules, electrons, and other such phenomena. [...]

[...] That is why he can enter into the reality of electrons so easily. [...]

[...] Not only does the human system for example become influenced chemically, electronically and psychically by physical weather, but also the human system electronically, electromagnetically, chemically and psychically affects and creates the climate in which existence is possible.
