Seth's "Unknown" Reality, Volume 2, Session 740
Ruburt saw the images in a
particular fashion so that he could understand certain information about the
nature of the psyche.
The giant image of myself, never
clearly glimpsed by Ruburt, represents my own greater reality. In a particular fashion, the identity cannot
be fully expressed within the confines of any one form, any more than yours
can. Ruburt saw many miniature versions
of me. In his inner vision these
appeared as identical, simply so that he would identify them as portions of
myself. They are actually quite different,
one from the others.
Each one is involved in its own
context of reality, each one pursuing its own directions for its own
purposes. One of those “Seths” was born
in your space and time. That Seth then
seeded himself, so to speak, in the space-time environment you recognize –
appearing through the centuries, sending out offshoots of “himself”, exploring
earthly experience and developing as well as he could those potentials of his
own greater identity that could best be brought to fruition within a creature
context.
That one Seth was endowed with
his own inner blueprint. The blueprint
gave him an idea of his potentials, and how they could be best fulfilled in
earthly terms.
The self, as I have said before,
is not limited. It can therefore split
off from itself without being less. This
Seth might be “born” two or three times in one century – or more – and then in
your terms not appear for five or ten centuries. Each Seth would be completely independent,
however, and each appearance would signify the creation of a new personality –
not simply a new version of an old one.
Each would be inherently
aware of its own potentials and “background”, but each would tune in to a
particular point of that so-called background.
What I am saying here applies to
the greater identity of each reader.
Because you are usually so worried about preserving what you think of as
your identity, we use terms like reincarnational selves or counterparts. If you truly understood the nature of your
individuality, however, you would clearly see that there is no contradiction if
I say that you are uniquely yourself, that your individuality has an
indestructible validity that is never assailed, and when I also say that you
are at the same time connected with other identities, each as sacredly
inviolate as your own.
You are used to thinking of
exterior organizational patterns. You
might live in a city and a state and a country at one time, yet you do not
think that your presence in one of these categories contradicts either of the
other two. So you live amid psychic
organizations, each having its own characteristics. You may consider yourself Indian though you
live in America, or American though you live in Africa, or Chinese though you
live in France, and you are quite able to retain your sense of individuality.
So the psychic families, or the
families of consciousness, can be thought of as natives of inner countries or
the mind, sharing heritages, purposes, and intents that may have little to do
with the physical countries in which you live your surface lives. People are born in any month of the year in
any country. All those in Norway are not
born in January or August. In the same
way, all the members of any given psychic family are spread across the earth,
following inner patterns that may or may not relate to other issues as they are
currently understood.
Certain families have a liking
for certain months of birth, but no specific rules apply. There is indeed an inner kind of order that
unites all of these issues; yet that inner order is not the result of
laws, but of spontaneous creation, which flows into its own kinds of
patterns. You see the patterns at any
given time and try to make laws of them.
I am trying to stretch your
imaginations, and to help you throw aside rigid concepts that literally blind
you to the dimensions of your own reality.
Again – you are biologically equipped to perceive far more of that
reality than you do.
You are not a miniature self, an
adjunct to some superbeing, never to share fully in its reality. In those terms you are that superself
– looking out of only one eye, or using just one finger.
Much of this is very difficult to
verbalize. You are not subordinate to
some giant consciousness. While you
think in such terms, however, I must speak of reincarnational selves and
counterparts, because you are afraid that if you climb out of what you think
your identity is, then you will lose it.
Now: We will see if we can express some concepts
about the self in a new way. In his own Psychic Politics Ruburt presented from
his [psychic] library some information concerning official and unofficial
numbers.
Between each official number in a
given series he envisions literally infinite space. The infinitesimal becomes the infinite.
Now: In the same way the most infinitesimal self
is infinite, and the most finite self, carried to the extremes of itself, is
infinite. Each of you is part of an
infinite self. That infinite self
appears as a series of finite selves in your reality.
Beneath that perceived reality,
however, each finite self, carried to its degree, is itself infinite. Now here is one for the books: but there are different kinds of
infinities. There are different
varieties of psychological infinities that do not meet – that is, that go off
in their own infinite directions.
As long as you believe that as
individuals you belong in any given series, you appear to yourselves as finite.
You think in terms of linear
time, and the best you can do to imagine your deeper reality is to consider
reincarnation in time. It is a matter of
focus. You usually identify with the
outside of yourself, and with the outside of the world. You do not, for example, usually identify
with the inside of your body, with its organs, much less its cells or atoms –
yet in that direction lies a certain kind of infinity.
If you would identify with your
own psychological reality, following the inward structure of thoughts and
feelings, you would discover an inward psychological infinity. These “infinities” would reach of course into
both an infinite past and future. Yet
true infinity reaches far beyond past or future, and into all probabilities –
not simply straightforward into time, or backward.
There is literally an infinity in
each moment you recognize, as numerically there is an “infinity” behind or
within any prime number (e, 97, 863, et cetera) that you recognize.
There are infinite versions of
yourself, but no one negates the others, and each is connected with the others,
and aids and supports them. There are
other kinds of psychological organizations also. In those terms Ruburt has learned, or rather
Ruburt is learning, to alternate a series – to bring information from
one [neurological series] to another, so to speak.
However, none of this is apart
from normal living. … both Ruburt and Joseph have learned to correlate data so
that some of the implications involved in a simple move from one house to
another become apparent. They are not
mathematicians. They will not
statistically analyze the results. Yet I
tell you that the moves that you make in daily life have indeed infinite
effects – and I am not using the word loosely.
Imagine a string of different-colored
Christmas tree lights, all glowing on a given tree. In this series of lights, any one light can
go out while the others continue to shine.
You are familiar with that arrangement.
However, in our imaginary
assortment there are many such strings, and when a light goes out on one string
“it” almost automatically appears on another string. Now generally speaking the lights are all lit
at once on any given string, except for those that now and then go out.
Pretend that you are very tiny,
and moving slowly about the tree so that you see only one light at a time. It appears that one light exists before the other,
then, and each one is so brilliant to our focus that it blots out the lights
before and after it. You may have a dim
memory of the light you “saw” before, however, and so you think: “Aha, the bulb I see is my life, but I’m sure
that long ago I had a different life – and perhaps another one lies ahead of me”. But unless you step back from the tree you
will not realize that the entire string of lights exists at once. Nor will you understand that when one light
goes out in a strand it appears somewhere else on the tree in another strand.
If you were still tinier, then
any given bulb itself might seem to emit not a steady light at all, but a
series of waves, and you might identify your life with any given wave, so that
great distance might be perceived between one wave and the next.
Experiencing that kind of series
could lead to entirely different kinds of perception, in which infinities
existed within a scale of its own. (The series would have its own kind of
infinities.)
A tree could be wired with
lights, with each one having its own particular series [of waves]. The people who put up the tree might experience
one Christmas Eve, while other consciousnesses, tuned in to the different
series, could experience endless generations – and their perceptions would
be quite as legitimate as those of the light-watchers who had erected the tree.
This is not necessarily the best
analogy, but I wanted to make the point that various scales of awareness
contain their own infinities, no matter how finite they may appear to be.
The soul, so-called, is not
related to size or duration in space and time, except insofar as it is wedded
to experience within those contexts.
Notes: Session 740
Note 3
Seth discussed his “blueprints for reality” a number of
times in Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality. See the 696th session, for
instance: “Each probability system has its own set of ‘blueprints’ … These are
not ‘inner images of perfection’, and to some extend the blueprints themselves
change … As an individual you carry within you such a blueprint, then; it
contains all the information you require to bring about the most favorable
version of yourself in the probable system you know … In the same fashion the
species en masse holds within its
vast inner mind such working plans or blueprints”.
Note 5
In the 685th session
for Volume 1, Seth stated that the consciousnesses of our cells are eternal,
and that biologically we’re equipped to explore many more probable realities
than we know. In the 686th session
he discussed our cells’ comprehension of the past, present, and future, as well as our cellular
responses to a variety of neurological pulses besides that certain range we’re
egotistically focused upon. See his
first delivery for that session.
