Issues Facing Mankind (4)

You do not consider a dream as a success or a failure.  If the dream ends in a moment of destruction you do not consider the dream a failure.  In the overall then, when I told you that the planet was dispensable, I meant it somewhat in those terms, for while in your reality you are vulnerable, and agony is real, still it is not the whole reality, and success and failure have no meaning in those terms.

The consciousnesses that have made up your race gain valuable experience.  You must not forget that the analogy between your physical reality and the dream state does have a basic truth.

Even the physical planet, having vanished, basically would continue to exist.  Those responsible for such a destruction would have destroyed only reality as they knew it, in the probable system.  Other probable earths and other probable races of mankind coexist, and you are a part of these also.  You would be dispensing with an experiment you were not able to handle.

At the same time, again, the experiences would be used.  From a larger viewpoint you would know that nothing had been destroyed.  Think about it, and then I will answer questions that I believe you will have.

We have been speaking of projections and experiments in them, and if you want to, know what other experiments are being conducted by yourself and others this is one way that you can at least briefly glimpse them.

Any event that you would consider disastrous to your race, brought about by the race itself, would be used in another probable system to avoid the same sort of error.  There are disasters and dead end roads that your race has avoided completely, because in other systems of reality the lessons were learned and learned well.

Your own instinct for survival, so-called, is the result, so to speak, of experience in other systems.  The original problem was far different.  A way was needed to teach these personalities to focus long enough, in your terms, intensely enough, within any given reality.

When the lessons are learned there is no need for physical reality.  The survival instinct, strongly connected with the physical self, keeps it anchored in focus within your system.  Without it consciousness would tend to float free.  It is your anchor.

Now.  In conscious projections you allow yourself some freedom.  In many cases you do consciously what you do unconsciously in any case.  You are able with practice to journey through other systems.  You are able to see for yourself not only the experiments that are being tried, but often to come into contact with other portions of yourself, who are involved in those experiments.  As for example your Doctor Pietra.

(“I was just going to ask you about him.”)

I told you that after the prime points the autumn would be the next time to contact.  There are two peak periods of activity there, between the 20^th and 22^nd of September, and October 5 to 17, and then his experiments will be over for now.

If you begin with the experiments I have suggested, then you can hopefully try to contact him in his own reality.

Now, Ruburt has had the first of the seven dreams.  (See the 497^th session, for July 7, 1969.)  It is the dream of the sands, and I mentioned the series of dreams earlier.  I want to give you an explanation of that dream.

…  Do you have any questions of the material as given this evening?

(“How about that mass transfer of consciousness?”

(This question refers to a discussion the four of us had at first break, after Seth had given us data on any possible destruction of our earth, the various probable systems involving other earths, etc.  We had wondered what course the entities would take who had manifested on our particular probability-earth, in the even of its literal destruction.)

Now.  I told you that the knowledge gained would be retained.  Not only this, but it is retained not only by the individual selves as you think of them.  It becomes part of the knowledge of all the probable selves in other realities also.

There would indeed be a mass transference of consciousness, but not necessarily at all to one particular reality.  The individual consciousnesses involved would not for example necessarily choose to start anew, in the same kind of reality, agreeing to form more or less identical conditions.

They would however definitely go where their experience could be best utilized, and where their intimate knowledge of destruction be best used as a tool.  To some degree such a destruction would be felt in all realities.  Some probable selves would have shattering dreams of disaster.  Other worlds would quake with the psychic reflections.

I am speaking theoretically, but those in the probable system, according to their own knowledge and capabilities, could also help your own system to avert disaster under certain conditions.  This is rather an involved subject; and it would also be highly dependent upon your willingness to be helped.  The race has called out before for help, and received it.

It can only accept certain kinds of help, and the help in one way or another must be initiated at least from its own pool of energy, and its own bank of personality gestalts.
