“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

“This sense operates in two ways. It can be an extension or enlargement of the self, a widening of its boundaries and of conscious comprehension. It can also be a pulling together of the self into an ever-smaller capsule that enables the self to enter other systems of reality. The tissue capsule surrounds each consciousness and is actually an energy field boundary, keeping the inner self’s energy from seeping away.

“No consciousness exists in any system without this capsule enclosing it. These capsules have also been called astral bodies. The seventh Inner Sense allows for an expansion or contraction of this tissue capsule.”

EXPANSION OR CONTRACTION OF THE TISSUE CAPSULE

[...] It involves direct instantaneous cognition of the essence of living ‘tissue.’ I use the word ‘tissue’ with caution and ask you not to think of it necessarily in terms of flesh.

(And from the 40th session:) The tissue capsule is actually an energy field boundary … At the same time it protects the whole self from certain radiations which do not here concern you. No living consciousness exists on any plane without this tissue capsule enclosing it … To some inhabitants of other planes [realities] that have access to your plane, all that can be seen of you is this capsule, since such inhabitants have had no experience in your particular type of camouflage [physical] construction. Therefore your camouflage patterns are invisible to them, but the tissue capsules are not.¹

[...] Surprisingly, she’d tuned into one he hadn’t told us much about yet: Expansion or Contraction of the Tissue Capsule.)

Some of the soreness was the result of the expansion of tissue, the period between a new expansion and the resulting fresh nourishment sent to cellular structures. [...] The sudden circulation flowed through the tissues that were unaccustomed to it, and further expanded them.

This evening, tissues and muscles were literally being rejuvenated. [...]

[...] To an extent the tissues involved became smaller, dry, less elastic, less demanding of nourishment. [...]

[...] These held back full circulation to the specific tissues.

[...] Its wisdom fashioned all my organs, tissues, muscles, and bones. [...]

[...] The healing intelligence of her subconscious mind which created her body is now transforming every cell, nerve, tissue, muscle, and bone of her being according to the perfect pattern of all organs lodged in her subconscious mind.

[...] There is a connection between alphabets and the molecular structure that composes your tissue. [...]

Certain sounds are verbal replicas of molecular constructions, put together by you to form sentences in the same way, for example, that molecules are put together to form cells and tissue.

(Long pause at 11:26.) There are “inner sounds” that act like layers between tissues, that “coat” molecules, and these serve as a basis for exterior sound principles. [...]

[...] The breath’s integrity arises directly from the proper give-and-take between cells, the functioning of the tissues; and all that is the expression of molecular competence. [...]

[...] To some inhabitants of other planes that have access to your plane, all that can be seen of you is this tissue capsule, since such inhabitants have had no experience in your particular type of camouflage construction. Therefore your camouflage patterns are invisible to them, but the tissue capsules are not.

Now that we have briefly discussed the meaning of a tissue capsule I will go into the seventh inner sense a bit more deeply. This sense allows for an expansion or contraction of the tissue capsule. [...]

The tissue capsule of which I have spoken earlier surrounds every living consciousness. [...]

[...] No living consciousness exists on any plane without this tissue capsule enclosing it.

I use the word tissue with some caution. Nevertheless all entities, except for a few important exceptions, are in one way or another enclosed within themselves, and also connected to others by some sort of capsule, and your word tissue would seem to be the closest I can come to this.

This fifth sense, then, would enable you some freedom to cross this living tissue boundary into other living territory. Do not think of this living tissue necessarily as flesh, since those who are capable of using this sense fully are not on your plane to begin with.

In this case it would involve living tissue. [...]

[...] It merely involves direct, instantaneous cognition of the essence of living tissue.

There is an overall response of tissue. [...]

[...] He went along with it, which is very good, but he didn’t sustain it long enough so that he could distinguish the other tissue capsules which came within his own extended awareness.

I have said little about these tissue capsules. [...]

The death, say, of physical tissue, is merely a part of the process of life as you know it in your system, a part of the process of becoming. And from those tissues, as you know, new life will spring.

Consciousness — human consciousness — is not dependent upon the tissues, and yet there is no physical matter that is not brought into being by some portion of consciousness. [...]

[...] These complex compounds are then carried by body fluids to other organs or tissues, where they have certain effects. [...]

When you listen, do not only listen but feel and within the energy of this voice feel, therefore, the energy within yourselves, within your spirits and your tissues, for you are now presently dwelling within tissue which you have also formed. [...]

[...] There is a spirituality within your tissues. [...]

[...] When you eat a piece of bread, your subconscious transmutes it into tissue, muscle, bone, and blood. [...]

[...] When you eat a piece of bread, your subconscious transmutes it into tissue, muscle, bone and blood Your subconscious controls all the vital processes and functions of your body. [...]

Learning is not simply passed on from living tissue to living tissue — this your biologists have discovered — but it is also passed on through the body’s present corporeal reality, sometimes entirely changing the messages to past cells, that in your terms no longer exist.

[...] His mental exercises involving the inner “darning” (which Jane had told me about earlier this afternoon) of the sores with new tissue works well. [...]

(11:49.) Briefly: as circulation is improved certain tissues do feel fuller. [...]

[...] This extension involves a reaching out of tissue capsule. [...]

It involves the inner self, and the tissue capsule which also surrounds the physical camouflage body in a manner and for a purpose which I have briefly explained in an earlier session.

The pulsating that I mentioned earlier as extension and contraction involves the use of certain frequencies inherent in the tissue capsule, and to some small degree represents or is a limited aspect of the ability of the inner self to change frequencies and pulsations in an even freer, less limited manner. [...]

The matter of the universe can be conceived of as a physical body, an organism of individual cells (objects) held together by connective tissue (the chemicals and elements of air). This connective tissue is also alive and carries electrical impulses. Within it, as within the connective tissues of the human body, there is a certain elasticity, a certain amount of regeneration and a constant replacement of the atoms and molecules that compose it.
