016 Mental Enzymes, UFO Bastard Forms, and the Concentrating Cat -- Seth's Radical Breakdown of Reality in Session 16

Session 16 of The Early Sessions, Book 1, as dictated by the entity Seth, recorded on January 15, 1964, explores the fundamental nature of reality, the structure of the universe, the resilience of the human personality, and the phenomenon of inter-planar travel, including an explanation for "flying saucers."

Key Themes and Analysis

Mental Enzymes: The Catalysts of Perception

The session introduces the core concept of "mental enzymes," defining them as the fundamental mechanisms that create the senses on the physical plane. Seth affirms the idea that "Light is a mental enzyme," a concept that had emerged from the subconscious of one of the participants.

Core Functions and Properties:

• Sense Creation: The primary role of mental enzymes is to create the physical senses, allowing beings to perceive and appreciate their reality. Seth states, > "The main mental enzymes create senses on the physical plane in order that they may be recognized and appreciated by the physical being."

• Universal Basis, Plane-Specific Materialization: While the enzymes are fundamentally the same throughout the universe, their expression is determined by the inherent properties of the plane on which they operate. A quality experienced as light on Earth could manifest as sound on another plane.

• Interchangeability: The principle behind mental enzymes is one of interaction and interchangeability. This explains phenomena like synesthesia, where individuals might experience sound as color.

• Predictability and "Laws of Nature": For practical purposes within a given plane, mental enzymes produce predictable and dependable results. This consistency has led scientists to mistakenly label these effects as inflexible "laws of nature." Seth clarifies that these are apparent laws that operate within the physical universe but are not universal constants.

2. Solidified Vitality: The Fabric of the Universe

Building on the concept of mental enzymes, Seth describes the underlying "stuff" of the universe as "solidified vitality." This vitality forms the structure of all existence, including the boundaries between different planes of reality.

The Camouflage of Reality:

• Structure and Division: Seth uses the analogy of "imaginary wires" or a honeycomb to describe how this vitality forms the universe's structure, creating apparent divisions between planes.

• Chameleon-like Adaptation: These "wires" of vitality adapt to the characteristics of whichever plane they enter, taking on the camouflage inherent to that plane. They appear to be made of the same material as everything else on that plane, making the boundaries invisible to its inhabitants.

• Mental Enzymes as the Agent of Change: The crucial link between these two concepts is that mental enzymes are the tools that allow solidified vitality to change its form and adopt the camouflage of a specific plane. Seth states, > "Mental enzymes allow the solidified vitality to change its form."
