Session 669

Personal Reality, Session 669

Because the point of power and action is in your present as you understand it, so each day is like the kind of window that can provide many views through its different panes.

The window of each day can be opened or closed, but it is framed by your current psychological experience.  Even when it is shut light shines through it, illuminating your daily life.  In miniature form each day contains, in its own way, clues to all of your own simultaneous existences.  The present self does not exist in isolation.

Within any given twenty-four hour period, then, traces and aspects of all of your other experiences appear in their own way.  You each contain aspects of your other identities within your current selves – some very obvious perhaps and others barely noticeable.  Abilities focused upon in one life may be recognized as your own now, for example, but not strongly utilized.

Vague yearnings toward certain accomplishments may be clues that the necessary characteristics are inherent but untrained in the self that you know.  In its own way, the twenty-four hour period represents both an entire lifetime and many lives in one.  In it, symbolically, you have “death” as your physically attuned consciousness comes to the end of the amount of stimuli it can comfortably handle without rest.  So, at your normal physical death, you come to the point where your earth-attuned consciousness can no longer handle further data without a “longer rest”, and organize it into a creative meaningful whole – in terms of time.

Each day therefore is an incarnation , so to speak, but not only symbolically – for through soul’s intersection with the flesh, each self mirrors daily its “reincarnational” or simultaneous selves.

The same applies on what you may think of as a more practical level, in that each day also holds within it the answers to current problems.  If you are aware of a particular problem (challenge), therefore, you can be assured that its solution is as much there and with you as the problem is.  The solution is simply the problem’s other side, upon which you may not be focusing.  There will even be clear clues as to the proper direction for you to take – these will already be within your experience, but unrecognized because you are concentrating so upon the problem.

This applies to any kind of dilemma.

Although you are an individual and with free will, you are also part of another you.  You simply do not identify with your greater self now.  You have your own unique characteristics.  Your greater being also possesses its own originality, yet there will be what you may think of as a family resemblance, and so overall you and your other self often choose the same kinds of challenges, if in dissimilar ways.

In their own ways, other portions of your multidimensional being are involved in experiences, then, somewhat similar to your own, though on the outside the situation may be completely different.  Their progress lies latent within the window of the moment point – the moment point simply being your current intersection with the reality that you know.

The adventures of your simultaneous selves, again, appear as traces in your own consciousness, as ideas or daydreams or disconnected images, or sometimes even in sudden intuitions.  They can be drawn upon, drawn out, to help you understand current problems.

This does not mean that you will necessarily have a flood of reincarnational information, instant intuitive recognition of “past” lives, or experience any such intrusive data.  It does mean that in your own life such information automatically appears in intimate ways, but couched within the framework of your own comprehensions, even passing unobtrusively through your conscious thoughts.

Many artists unknowingly paint portraits of their simultaneous selves.  Many mothers find themselves feeling younger than their offspring at times, or about to call some of their children by different names.  Impulses to try activities you have not tried before may indeed be messages from other portions of your own being.

There simply is no time as you think of it, only a present in which all things occur.  There are miracles of condensed information within the cells themselves that scientists cannot perceive, for they exist outside of the scope of physical instruments.  In its own way, cellular comprehension includes a vast recognition of probabilities in your terms, and works with flashing manipulations in which these probabilities are contended with and responded to – and therefore altered.

The physically attuned conscious mind in your now cannot handle those staggering probabilities while maintaining a sense of identity, yet there are conscious traces within your daily thoughts that are the psychological representations of such knowledge.

Often you do not trust your imagination, considering that it deals with phenomena that cannot be called fact.  Therefore you artificially form a situation in which overall choices must be made.  If you are too imaginative, for example, you may not be able to adequately deal with physical life.  This applies only in the cultural media in which you presently operate, however.  Originally, and in your terms of time, it was precisely the imagination that in its own way set you apart from other creatures, enabling you to form realities in your mind that you could “later” exteriorize.

Because you now distrust the imagination so, you do not understand the great clues it gives you, both in terms of problem solving and of creative expression.  Many quite valid reincarnational memories come as imaginings, but you do not trust them.  A good percentage of your problems can be worked out rather easily through the use of your imagination.

Often you inadvertently use it to prolong “negative” circumstances, as you think of all the things that you could do wrong.  Yet you can employ it very constructively, altering past, present and future.  To do so in your present, freely imagine a situation in which you are happy.  To begin with your imaginings may seem foolish.  If you are elderly, poor and lonely, it may seem highly ludicrous to think of yourself as twenty, wealthy, and surrounded by friends and admirers.

Indeed, if after such an enjoyable exercise you look about you and compare what you have envisioned with what you have, then you may feel worse than you did before.  You are to realize that this imaginative world does exist – but not in the world of facts that you know.  To some extent, however, according to your freedom within it, such an exercise will automatically rejuvenate your body, mind and spirit, and begin to draw to you whatever equivalent is possible for you within the world of facts that you know.

Using age as an example now, it may seem to you that you are a given age, that within your subjective experience it must be paramount, that regardless of your age you are to some extent closed off from the experience of being any other age.  In some simultaneous existences you are very young, however, and in others very old.  Some of your physical cells are brand new, so to speak – the regeneration of fresh life is physically within you; in your terms this is true not only until your death but even after it, when your hair and nails can still grow.  Identify then with the constantly new energy alive within you in the now of your being and realize that on all levels you are biologically and psychologically connected with that greater identity that is your own.

No matter what your current situation, the answers lie within your own aspirations and abilities.  Often you will hold down or inhibit certain aspects of your experience in order to use others – using those available will automatically free you from inhibitions in other areas.

There may be physical circumstances involving birth defects that are beyond alteration, where experience must be focused along other than usual pathways, yet even here those talents and characteristics that are available will open up vistas of experience and achievement.

When you are utilizing your imagination in the way I have suggested, purposefully do so in a playful manner, knowing that in so-called realistic terms there may be great discrepancies between imagination and fact.  In your reality take that for granted.  Yet often your freewheeling, “silly”, seemingly unrealistic imagination will bring you quite practical solutions to your problems, for if the exercise is done properly you will be automatically releasing yourself from restrictions that you have taken for granted.

Even if a direct solution does not appear, rejuvenation will of itself begin to point you in the proper direction.  If you are a woman in an unhappy marriage, for example, you may begin by imagining yourself with a fine suitor.  Now:  No Sir Galahad may appear, but if the exercise is pursued properly you will automatically begin to feel loved, and therefore worthy of love, and lovable, where before you felt rejected, unworthy and inferior.  This feeling of being loved will alter your reality, drawing love to you.  You will act loved.  Your spouse may then find you exhibiting characteristics of a most pleasant nature, and he himself may change.

On the other hand you may draw another man to you, and end the marriage that has served its purposes in all ways, finding now the impetus and the reasons for change.  Because your imagination transcends time, it is one of your greatest touchstones to your own identity.

You must, of course, be able to distinguish between the world of imagination and the physical world of fact in order to be able to manipulate effectively.  But physical reality springs from the imagination, which follows the path of your beliefs.

In the exercise just given, you use the belief in effective change in any given area, and then allow your imagination freedom along those directed lines.  Such an exercise automatically does even more, opening up the window of perception and letting in the knowledge and experience of other portions of the self.  As this light and energy flows through, it will be tinted or colored by your own psychological reality, as the rays of the sun are through colored glass.  This simply means that the other-dimensional information will often appear in ordinary guise, through an intuitive hunch, a sudden idea, or some solution that has already occurred to you but has not been acted upon.

Your cells’ multidimensional knowledge is usually not consciously available, nor can they put it into psychological terms for you.  Such work with the imagination acts as a trigger, however, drawing information to you from other levels of your greater reality, and concentrating it on the specific problem at hand.  It will then appear in terms understandable to your own experience.

In itself, such an exercise creatively alters probabilities, for you no longer live with the problem as an unchanging concrete reality.  This is a psychological and psychic impetus, altering the messages that you habitually send to your body and to its cellular construction.  You are then creatively manipulating in several layers of experience.

Take for example the instances just given: The older person imagining youth will, during such an exercise, reactivate certain hormonal and chemical changes becoming younger; and the woman who feels rejected does the same thing when imagining herself loved.

Such practice also activates within the self all of its unconscious but quite valid experiences, drawing out similar episodes on the part of other simultaneous lives.  In one existence the old person is young.  The unloved woman is indeed beloved.  These unconscious realities become turned on through the use of the imagination.  each day is a window into each life.

Chapter 20: The Dream Landscape, The Physical World, Probabilities, And Your Daily Experience

Because you are physical creatures even your dreams must be translated through the reality of your flesh.  En masse and through the methods I have described, you help form a physical reality in which, however, each experience is unique.

In the same way each of you form an overall dream world in which there is some general agreement, but in which each experience is original.  The dream world has its reaches as the physical one does.  In waking reality, beliefs take time before their materialization is apparent.  From infinite probable acts, only one can be physically experienced as a rule.

The dream world operates as a creative situation in which probable acts are instantly materialized, laid out in actual or symbolic form.  From these you then choose the most appropriate for physical expression.  There are other important reasons for dreaming, but here we will confine ourselves to this particular issue and to the dream landscape itself.

It is only because you seem to expect dream experience to be like daily life that you find so many dreams chaotic.  Normally a tree does not change into a peacock, for example.  If you remember such a dream event, it seems meaningless in the morning.
