Session 655

Personal Reality, Session 655

Your neuronal activity structures your conscious experience, then.  The overall rhythms of your creaturehood automatically bring you into periods of rest and intense focus.

The night and day constitute a framework within which your experience is couched, providing the conscious mind with needed stimuli and relaxation, and allowing for proper assimilation of events.  As mentioned (in sessions 651-652 in Chapter Thirteen), even then the body construction has built-in mechanisms to alter such an arrangement when further data can be handled.

As a rule you have enough difficulty dealing with the day’s occurrences, much less next week’s, and so in the sequence of events the reality of probable actions is usually hidden from view.  This more complex reality is an ever-existing property of your personal creaturehood.  Beside this, in your terms you exist as a creature more than once.  In each of your “reincarnational” existences you are faced with the same relationship with probabilities.  In each case, also, the nature of the conscious mind sets up its own territory-of-identity that it regards as its own.  This provides a clear focus in which “present” action can be considered.  These incarnations are all simultaneous.

A death is but one night to the soul.  The vaster entity of which you are part follows your progress as easily as you follow your own through the days.  As a rule most of you wake up in the same bed in the same house or town, but certainly you wake up as the same person in the same century.  In those terms the entity wakes up as a different person each day, in a different century, each life seeming like a day in its level of experience.  It carries the memory and simultaneous experience of each of those selves.

A form is basically nonphysical.  What you see of form is only that part that can be effectively active or materialized within your system of reality.  So the entity in its own way possesses what you can think of as future neuronal structures.

Within that vast form is your own, which is briefer, yet is not lost, not limited and not predetermined.  You form your corner of the universe, which is itself a part of another one.  Within this the actions and beliefs of one affect all.

Each part is vital, and in one way or another there is instant communication between the smallest and the largest, the cobweb and the spider, the man, the entity, and the star – and each spins its own web of probabilities from which other universes continually spring.

All of this may seem to have little to do with your daily personal experience, and yet it is intimately connected, for personally and en masse you can indeed create “the best” of all possible worlds.

The performance of great athletes gives evidence of abilities inherent in the human form that are little used.  Great artists by their very works demonstrate other attributes latent in the race as a whole.  They still represent one-line delineations, however.  Within the experience of your race as you know it lie all the patterns that would point to some fully developed human being, in which all inherent tendencies were given full play and came to fruition.

You would have an individual who displayed within himself [or herself] all of those great abilities known to the race, fulfilled according to his own unique temper – the artist, mathematician, athlete, the inventor – all the extraordinary qualities of creaturedom; the emotional realities would be used to their capacity, and any of the racial qualities or characteristics of the species would be given their complete freedom.

Wisdom and foolishness would be seen as aspects, one of the other.  Religion and science would each be unhampered by dogma in such an individual.  In the same way, following your own “trace” experiences and characteristics, you can discover those “probable” abilities that are yours, and uncover to some degree the nature of probable actions open to you for physical materialization.

There are traces in your present experience of your probable selves, even as there are signs in each individual of all the great talents shown and developed so flamboyantly by a few.  These traces can be brought into your experience to enrich it.  They do so in any case on unconscious levels, where they form the basis from which you choose your current experience.

The next brief chapter will be devoted to methods that will allow you to take advantage of greater options, to bring into your daily experience events and experiences that have so far remained “latent”.  In each individual case the options will be different, of course, yet you can draw into your present life some knowledge and intimate connection with your own probable realities.

On a conscious basis, then, you can learn to deepen the dimensions of your life by pulling into it the rich fabric of probabilities.

Chapter 15: Which You? Which World? Only You Can Answer. How To Free Yourself From Limitations

Since your conscious beliefs determine those unconscious functions that bring about your personal experience, your first step is to enlarge those beliefs.

The concepts given in this book should have already helped you do that to some extent.  Within your own subjective reality are traces of all those roads not taken, those abilities not used.  You may think of yourself as primarily a parent, or mainly in terms of your job or profession.  As much as possible, for now, forget the normal familiar light in which you see yourself, and consider your identity.

Write down or enumerate all of your known physical and mental abilities, whether they have been developed or not, and all of those inclinations toward particular activities – even those only remotely considered – as well as those that have come at all vividly to mind.

These represent the varied probable characteristics from which you have chosen to activate your particular main interest.  Out of these attributes, therefore, you chose what you now consider to be your hard-bed reality.

Any of those directions, followed, can enrich the existence that you know, and in turn open up other probabilities that now escape you.  The main image of yourself that you have held has, to a large extent, also closed your mind to these other probable interests and identifications.  If you think in terms of a multidimensional self, then you will realize that you have many more avenues open to expression and fulfillment than you have been using.  These probable achievements will lie latent unless you consciously decide to bring them into being.

Whatever talents you sense you have can be developed only if you determine to do so.  The simple act of decision will then activate the unconscious mechanisms.  You, as a personality, regardless of your health, wealth or circumstances, have a rich variety of probable experience from which to choose.  Consciously you must realize this and seize the direction for your own life.  Even if you say, “I will go along with all life offers”, you are making a conscious decision.  If you say, “I am powerless to direct my life”, you are also making a deliberate choice – and in that case a limiting one.

The path of experience is nowhere settled.  There is no one road that does not have avenues to another.  There are deep veins of probable actions ever available to you at any given time.  Your imagination can be of great value, allowing you to open yourself to such courses; you can then use it to help you bring these into being.

If you are poor, you chose that reality from many probable ones that did not involve poverty – and that are still open.  If you chose illness, again there is a probable reality ready for initiation in which you choose health.  If you are lonely there are probable friends you refused to meet in the past, but who are readily available.

In your mind, therefore, see those probable abilities or events taking place.  As you do, the intensity of your desire brings them into your experience.  There are no boundaries, again, set about the self.  There are literally many other probable you’s.  You can draw upon their abilities, as in their own way they call upon your own, for you are all intimately connected.

You must realize that you are indeed a probable you.  Your experience is the result of beliefs.  Your neuronal structure necessitates a certain focus so that other experiences counter to your conscious assumptions remain probable or latent.  Alter the beliefs and any probable self can, within certain limitations, be actualized.
