thought思想

In The Early Sessions Book 3, Seth offers an in-depth exposition of the concept of "thought," defining it as an independent action possessing electromagnetic reality. The following is a summary of the core formulations and distinctive aspects of the concept of thought at this stage. I. The electromagnetic reality and independent existence of thought: Seth points out that human thought has an electric reality. Thought exists as an independent electrical action, and after leaving its source of origin, it continues to persist in the electromagnetic system for a long time ^[1]. Although human beings are usually familiar only with the purely subjective dimension of thought, thought is actually as real as a chair, possessing enormous power and attraction in the electromagnetic field ^[2]. The "mind," which is independent of the brain, exists purely in the electromagnetic system. Every thought or emotion in the mind exists as an electromagnetic action; these actions are sent to the brain through translation and transformation, and the brain then triggers bodily responses ^[2]. Therefore, thoughts and emotions are not limited by physical barriers such as the skin; they recognize only the electromagnetic system and constantly interact among individuals ^[2]. II. The shape, mass, and dimensions of thought: Although the outer senses cannot perceive it, thought has shape at the level of "intensity mass" ^[3]. All psychological realities and experiences that are not materialized in the physical universe possess actual reality and existence in the electromagnetic universe ^[3]. In addition, emotions also have electromagnetic reality. Thoughts formed under strong emotional impulses often possess especially powerful electrical mass and strong intensity, and are therefore more vivid and more easily interpreted and reproduced successfully ^[4]. III. The non-replicability of thought and the mechanism of transmission: Seth emphasizes that in any reality, absolutely identical reproduction is impossible ^[5]. When sender A attempts to transmit a thought to receiver B, the electromagnetic pulse pattern that is formed is only an approximation of the original thought. Once reproduction is attempted, the pulse undergoes slight or significant alteration, so what B receives is always a highly similar but by no means identical new thought ^[5][6]. If a thought could be transmitted with absolute completeness, then sender A would no longer possess that thought ^[6]. The reception and interpretation of thought depend on many factors, including the electromagnetic pulse intensity of the thought itself, the stability with which the sender forms electromagnetic thought units, and the range of electromagnetic frequencies that the receiver habitually processes ^[6][7][4]. IV. The nature of thought as action and its relationship with the ego: Thought cannot be seen or touched; its essence is action ^[8]. In the physical field, one thought must terminate and disappear before it can be replaced by another thought; the same thought never repeats itself ^[8]. Although the ego accepts thought as part of its own identity, because of its own characteristic of having just separated itself from action, the ego is afraid to throw itself into the action of thought, and mistakenly cuts itself off from action, trying to stand aside. However, this separation is meaningless, because the ego itself is also action ^[9][10].

In The Early Sessions Book 4, Seth offers an in-depth exposition of the concept of "thought," revealing its essence as a kind of "action" possessing electromagnetic and chemical reality. The following is a summary of the core discussions of the concept of thought in this book:

I. The objective reality and structure of thought Seth emphasizes that thought is not an ethereal abstraction, but possesses its own structure. First, thoughts and emotions have their own structure, and in a general sense, these structures can be manipulated just like physical objects. Although this structure does not occupy physical space, it is still an objective existence ^[1]. Second, an original thought is as much a reality as a real natural landscape; it is part of the individual's inner electrical system ^[2]. Fundamentally, there is not much difference among physical images, dream images, hallucinations, thoughts, and emotions ^[3][4]. Any form, including imagined forms, exists as form in some dimension, and human beings are constantly changing the forms of their own thoughts ^[5].

II. The electromagnetic and chemical projection of thought Thought has definite physical and energetic properties and constantly projects outward. Thought is projected from the field of the personality, and this projection has electromagnetic and chemical reality; every thought possesses electromagnetic potential ^[6][3]. Just as dream images are projected during sleep, thoughts are also constantly sent out at the subconscious level in the waking state, and this projection and reception form our "intellectual climate" ^[6]. In addition, because thoughts have electromagnetic reality, they are often translated into dream images through simple transformation ^[3].

III. "Creative distortion" in the transmission of thought Because thought is closely connected with the individual's inner system, its process of transmission is not simple reproduction. A person cannot forcibly strip a thought from his or her own inner electrical system and send it to another person ^[2]. The very act of attempting to transmit a thought automatically alters that thought. Therefore, the thought received in telepathy is never the exact same thought that was sent, but a close approximation, a "creative distortion" created by the receiver himself or herself ^[7][2].

IV. Thought as "action" directly shaping physical health Seth explains in detail how thought directly affects the physical body through its electromagnetic properties. Intuitive thought is essentially "action," and it produces chemical and electromagnetic changes in the physical organism ^[8]. The influence of any thought is very precise and specific, and this is initiated precisely by the nature of its own electromagnetic identity. Constructive or destructive thoughts directly alter the actual molecular structure of the physical cells of the organism ^[8]. Therefore, poor health of the body is directly caused mainly by habitual destructive thought patterns, rather than the reverse. Such thought habits operate not only in the waking state, but also in the sleeping state ^[8].

In The Early Sessions Book 7, Seth gives a distinctive and profound definition of the concept of "thought." These discussions mainly revolve around the action nature of thought, its positioning as a psychological reality, and its relationship with emotional force and transformation into physical reality. First, Seth overturns the traditional perception of thought as a passive or abstract concept, clearly stating: "To me, a thought is an action." ^[1] Thought is not only action, but also "as valid a reality" ^[1]. In Seth's perceptual system, there is no absolute boundary among thought, emotion, and objective things. For example, the "emotional feelings" associated with an object are as real to him as the object itself ^[1]. Second, Seth clarifies the form in which thought exists in multidimensional reality. He points out, "A thought is a psychological reality, a psychological and psychic identity, but not a structured personified identity." ^[2] This means that thought has its own psychological and psychic signature, but it differs from those "fragments of self" projected by the self that may possess structured, personified characteristics ^[2]. Although thought is a product of the psyche, it maintains a non-personified, purely psychological state of existence ^[2]. Finally, the transmission and materialization of thought depend on "emotional charges" and "emotional force." Seth explains that it is these emotional charges that are interpreted and ultimately "translated into physical terms" ^[1]. When performing extrasensory perception, such as in the envelope experiments, Seth does not start from the physical object itself, but first identifies "emotional reality," because for him emotional reality is the only basic reality, and afterward he shapes these emotional realities into an interpretation of the physical object itself ^[1]. By the same principle, there is no essential difference between so-called telepathy and clairvoyance; all such acquisition and interpretation of information is received in the same way through "emotional force" ^[1]. In summary, at this stage in The Early Sessions Book 7, Seth's discussion of thought emphasizes its "action nature," its "psychological reality," and its "emotional drivenness." Thought is not an empty projection of consciousness, but a real psychological action that carries emotional charges and can be translated into physical reality ^[1][2].
