Selected Notes to Session 681

Note 1: Pulsating Universe

In several of the sessions he delivered in 1970-71 for Seth Speaks, Seth explained how atoms and molecules phase in and out of our physical system.  See especially the 567^th session in Chapter 16: “Now the same sort of behavior occurs on a deep, basic, secret and unexplored psychological level”.  Some of the probable systems arising out of such activity would be quite alien to us: “One such fluctuation might take several thousand of your years … [which] would be experienced, say, as a second of your time …” Jane elaborates upon related ideas from her own viewpoint in Chapter 10, among others, in her Adventures in Consciousness.

Note 2: Oneness

Long before this, Seth was concerned that Jane said I might feel insignificant once we attempted to grasp the endless ramifications of consciousness as he was explaining them to us.  As he said in the 29^th session for Friday 26, 1964: “Later I will attempt to show you where the boundaries are – though there really are no boundaries – that form a variety of such planes [realities] into a sphere of relation in which, to some extent, cause-and-effect operates as you understand it.  Beyond that for a long time there will be no need for me to go any more deeply.  I will speak of the entity, the personalities, the reincarnations, the diverse personality fragment groupings, the planes with which you are similar or can understand, and ultimately try to deal with your questions, implied if not spoken, as to where entities came from to begin with.

“… Needless to say, I wanted you to know that there is much more than even this, complexities that are truly astounding, intelligences that operate in what I suppose you would call a gestalt fashion, building blocks of vitalities of truly unbelievable maturity, awareness, and comprehension.  These are the near ultimate [as I understand such things].

“This material should not make you feel unimportant or insignificant.  The framework is so woven that each particle [of consciousness] is dependent upon every other.  The strength of one adds to the strength of all.  The weakness of one weakens the whole.  The energy of one recreates the whole.  The striving of one increases the potentiality of everything that is, and this places great responsibility upon every consciousness.

“I would even advise a double reading of the above sentence, for it is a keystone, and a vital one.  Rising to challenges is a basis for existence in every aspect of existence.  It is the developer of all abilities, and at the risk of being trite, it is the responsibility of even the most minute particle of consciousness to use its own abilities, and all of its abilities, to the utmost.  Upon the degree to which this is done rests the power and coherence of everything that is.”

See also the 453^rd session for December 4, 1968, in the Appendix of The Seth Material.

Note 5: The Moment Point

Seth’s concept of the moment point is implicit in his material as I quote it in Note 1 for this session.  Also see the 514^th session in Chapter 2 of Seth Speaks, and the 668^th session in Chapter 19 of Personal Reality.

Note 6: Precognition

…  From the 234^th session for February 16, 1966:

“Often precognitive information will appear to be wrong.  In some cases, this is because a self has chosen a different probable event for physical materialization [than the one predicted].  I have access to the field of probabilities and you do not, egotistically … To me, your past, present, and future merge into one.

“On the other hand, as I have told you, you change your past continually.  It does not appear to change to you, for you change with it … You alter your future in the same manner.  In such cases it is necessary that the correct channel of probable events be perceived – correct meaning the channel which shall be ultimately chosen [for actualization by the subject].

“These choices, however, are based upon your changing perception of past and present.  Because I have a larger scope of perception than you, I can with greater facility predict what may happen.  But this is dependent upon my prediction as to which choice [of probable events] you will make, and the choice is still your own … Predictions, per se, do not contradict the theory of free will, though free will is dependent upon much more than any freedom of the ego alone.  If the ego were allowed to make all the choices, with no veto power from other layers of the self, you would all be in a sad position indeed.

“I can, therefore, perceive far more than you can of your own future.  I am hardly omnipotent, however.  Nor, strictly speaking, is such omnipotence possible.”
