“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This process continues beneath conscious and even subconscious awareness. It is not dependent upon the ego, but predates it. These are the first and the last images. The individual cells are the first animals possessing innate awareness of their environment with rudimentary sense mechanisms, to your way of thinking.

Actually, through the generic system each cell possesses capsule comprehension, (pause) that is a certain kind of visualizing, and an emotional charge. Before cellular specialization occurred each cell could combine with another indiscriminately. What are now your five senses were once sense mechanisms or possibilities, existing through the entire surface of any individual cell.

The other, older perceptive mechanisms still linger on however. The ego does not and cannot make use of them. Indeed the ego is almost entirely formed by the physical senses method of perception. Other layers of the self biologically respond to the older, more generalized but less limited perceptive mechanisms.
