“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, as to your York Beach images. Here aggressive and destructive energies were unconsciously projected outward, given a pseudoreality and a temporary physical validity. There was a protein loss on your own parts.

The emotional charge provides the pattern, and the impetus for creation, and in the York Beach affair and like situations, it provides for the actual projection or externalization itself. 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. Proteins are used, and there is a high carbohydrate loss on the part of the originator.

Now. Physical illness is not a natural condition. It also necessitates additional work of this same sort, hence often the physical vitamin deficiencies that occur. In many cases they do not cause a disease, but are the result of it. 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.

Many times in laboratory studies, substances called proteinoids (often misleadingly defined in dictionaries as “primitive proteins”) have been observed forming from amino acids, which are subunits of proteins. Some researchers think of proteinoids as the forerunners of the protein that life needs to ride upon, but for quite complex scientific reasons, proteinoids are far from being true biological proteins and do not lead to life. [...]

[...] At the same time, we take note of the latest efforts of biological researchers to explain how, millions of years ago, a primitive DNA molecule could begin to manufacture the protein upon which life “rides,” and thus get around the contradiction posed in Note 8: What made the protein that sustains the processes of life, before that life was present to make the protein? [...]

[...] Evolutionary theory maintains that such a source spontaneously came into being, riding upon various protein molecules (or certain other kinds of molecules) that had themselves chemically — and miraculously — evolved out of nonliving matter, then demonstrated the ability to duplicate themselves. [...] Proteins, for instance, are very complex chains of amino acids, and consist of nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, and/or certain other elements. They exist in great variety in all animal and vegetable matter; in the body each protein supports a very definite function.) But the view that all life had a common origin, that by pure chance it originated on the earth — just once — without the aid of God, or any sort of designer, is today accepted by most scientists in biology and related disciplines. [...]

[...] The gene is primarily made up of protein and a twisted double strand or helix of DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid. [...] We humans, for instance, have 46 chromosomes and an estimated 100,000 genes in each cell, and our genes provide the blueprints for the synthesis of some 50,000 proteins. [...]

The remaining bedsores will be healing themselves at an even quicker rate, since he is now assimilating protein so much better than he used to. [...]

[...] As a rule therefore, proteins are indeed a most beneficial food to him, and it is for this reason that he automatically seeks them out.

Other personalities do not benefit in the same way from proteins, and should not use them as a main portion of their diet. [...]

[...] There is plenty of nutrition there now to help him, since he is assimilating protein so much better than he did before. [...]

Some concentrate almost exclusively on protein, some on carbohydrates — particularly rice — but in any case the large natural range of available foods and nutrients are cut out.

[...] Proteins are used, and there is a high carbohydrate loss.

“In the same way that the body’s proteins and chemicals can be used to form various kinds of images, they may also be utilized to form an ulcer, goiter, or to affect other changes [in the body itself]. [...]

1. Antibodies are proteins manufactured in the body in order to neutralize toxic substances. [...]

[...] Certain types of protein are also not being taken in anything like sufficient quantities. [...]

[...] They multiply only in connection with live cells, and are thought of both as living organisms and as complicated proteins. [...]

A balanced daily consumption of protein and carbohydrates, of meats and vegetables. [...]

The night situation will be somewhat improved by a snack later during the evening—or one or two—so that you have a regular intake of protein and nutriments, rather than say large amounts more or less quickly eaten. [...]

[...] Each individual utilizes carbohydrates and protein in a slightly different manner and what is good for one is not necessarily for another.

[...] You resolved, therefore, to store up what food you had in terms of fat and protein to hold you against times of famine. [...]

[...] (Genes are units found on the chromosomes of the cell nucleus; they carry hereditary characteristics, and consist mainly of protein and DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid.)

[...] We say that a certain gene contains the instructions for the manufacture of a certain protein the body uses in the construction or function of an eye, for instance, and that in expressing that code the gene passes on characteristics inherited from physical ancestors—but is that endowment influenced or directed in any fashion by reincarnational attributes as well? [...] The genes in each cell have their individual jobs to do in furnishing the quivering templates for the manufacture (via the nucleic acids DNA and messenger RNA) of all of our bodily proteins. [...]

[...] This involves your own intellectual technology, which will be quite able to maintain its population with synthetic proteins. [...]

[...] The immediate causes of her death were a combination of protein depletion, osteomyelitis, and soft-tissue infections. [...]
