Session 681

Unknown Reality, Session 681

What I am about to explain is difficult.  Purposely, it is not as yet in any of the books, simply because certain beliefs must be dispensed with before these ideas can be accepted.

It is not that I am holding back so much as that, in your terms, what follows is dependent upon an understanding of concepts presented earlier.  People who are still worrying about one soul, gods, and devils, must be helped to relate to greater realities from their own framework, and gently led away from it if possible.  Probabilities have been mentioned in such a way that alternate realities are presented, showing such people that choices are available.

The deeper explanations, however, demand a further expansion of ideas of consciousness, and a certain reorientation.  It is extremely important that you bear in mind the importance of free will, and the presence of your own identity as you think of it.  With that preamble, let me continue then.

It is not so much a matter of Ruburt’s vocabulary, incidentally, since even a specialized scientific one would only present these ideas in its own distorted fashion.  It is more a problem of basic language itself, as you are acquainted with it.  Words do not exist, for example, for some of the ideas I hope to convey.  We will, at any rate, begin.

All probable worlds exist now.  All probable variations on the most minute aspect in any reality exist now.  You weave in and out of probabilities constantly, picking and choosing as you go along.  The cells within your bodies do the same thing.

I told you once that there were pulses of activity in which you blinked off and on – this applying even to atomic and subatomic particles.  “You” assign as real – present here and now – only that activity that is your signal.  “You” are not aware of the others.  When people think in terms of one self, they of course identify with one body.  You know that the cellular structure of it changes constantly.  The body is at any given moment, however, a mass conglomeration of energy formed from that rich bank of probable activity.  The body is not stable in the terms usually thought of.  On deeper biological levels the cells straddle probabilities, and trigger responses.  Consciousness rides upon and within the pulses mentioned earlier, and forms its own organizations of identity.  Each probability – probable only in relation to and from the standpoint of another probability – is inviolate, however, in that it is not destroyed.  Once formed, the pattern will follow its own nature.

The organizations of consciousness “grow” even as cells grow into organs.  Groups of probable selves, then, can and do form their own identity structure, which is quite aware of the probable selves involved.  In your reality, experience is dependent upon time, but all experience is not so structured.  There are, for example, parallel events that are followed as easily as you follow consecutive events.

The structure of probabilities deals with parallel experience on all levels.  Your consciousness picks and chooses to accept as real the results of, and ramifications of, only certain overall purposes, desires, or intents.  You follow these through a time structure.  Your focus allows other just-as-legitimate experience to become invisible or unfelt.

In the same way that you latch upon one personal biological history, you latch upon but one mass earth history.  Others go on about you all the time, and other probable selves of your own experience their “histories” parallel to yours.  In practical terms of sense data, those worlds do not meet.  In deeper terms they coincide.  Any of the infinite number of events that could have  happened to you and Ruburt [do] happen.  Your attention span simply does not include such activity.

Such endless creativity can seem so dazzling that the individual would appear lost within it, yet consciousness forms its own organizations and psychic interactions at all levels.  Any consciousness automatically tries to express itself in all probable directions, and does so.  In so doing it will experience All That Is through its own being, though interpreted, of course, through that familiar reality of its own.  You grow probable selves as a flower grows petals.  Each probable self, however, will follow through in its own reality – that is, it will experience to the fullest those dimensions inherent to it.  You pick and choose one birth and one death, in your terms.

(To Rob): You died as a young boy in an operation, however, in this life as you think of it.  You died again in the war, where you were a pilot – but those are not your official deaths, so you do not recognize them.

Science likes to think that it deals with predictable action.  It perceives such a small amount of data, however, and in such a limited area, that the great inner unpredictability of any molecule, atom, or wave is not apparent.  Scientists perceive only what appears within your system, and that often appears predictable.

True order and organization, even of biological structure, can be achieved only by granting a basic unpredictability.  I am aware that this sounds startling.  Basically, however, the motion of any wave or particle or entity is unpredictable – freewheeling and undetermined.  Your life structure is a result of that unpredictability.  Your psychological structure is also.  However, because you are presented with a fairly cohesive picture, in which certain laws seem to apply, you think that the laws come first and physical reality follows.  Instead, the cohesive picture is the result of the unpredictable nature that is and must be basic to all energy.

Statistics provide an artificial, predetermined framework in which your reality is then examined.  Mathematics is a theoretical organized structure that of itself imposes your ideas of order and predictability.  Statistically, the position of an atom can be theorized, but no one knows where any given atom is at any given time.

You are examining probable atoms.  You are composed of probable atoms.  Consciousness, to be fully free, had to be endowed with unpredictability.  All That Is had to surprise himself, itself, herself, constantly, through freely granting itself its own freedom, or forever repeat itself.  This basic unpredictability then follows through on all levels of consciousness and being.  A certain cellular structure may seem inevitable within its own frame of reference only because opposing or contradictory probabilities do not appear therein.

In your terms, consciousness is able to hold its own sense of identity by accepting one probability, one physical life, for example, and maintaining its identity through a lifetime.  Even then, certain events will be remembered and others forgotten.  The consciousness also learns to handle alternate moments as it “matures”.  As it does so mature it forms a new, larger framework of identity, as the cell forms into an organ on another level

In your terms – the phrase is necessary – the moment point, the present, is the point of interaction between all existences and reality.  All probabilities flow through it, though one of your moment points may be experienced as centuries, or as a breath, in other probable realities of which you are a part.

Ruburt is at this moment feeling massive.  He is experiencing several things.  The inner cellular body consciousness feels itself massive, while to you cells are minute.  The sounds of the package, for example (as Seth, Jane crumpled an empty cigarette package), or the fingernails across the table (demonstrated), are magnified, for in the cellular world they are an important outside-of-self cosmic event – messages of great importance.  The cellular consciousness experiences itself as eternal, though to you the cells have a brief life.  But these cells are aware of the body’s history, in your terms, and in much more familiar fashion than you are aware of the earth’s history.

The cells are also aware of probabilities in a more familiar fashion than you are, as they manipulate the past and future history of the body.  Ruburt now, again, is experiencing massiveness, as in your idea of probabilities the cellular structure feels its vast endurance.  Working with events not even real to you, it produces a physical structure that maintains identity and predictability out of a vastly creative network.  That network is unpredictable, yet from it Ruburt can predictably put ashes into that ashtray.  The predictability of that gesture rests upon the basis of an unpredictability, in which multitudinous other actions could have occurred, and in other realities do occur.

Your beliefs and intents cause you to pick from an unpredictable group of actions, those that you want to happen.  You experience those events. (To Rob): “Your” desire to live straddled the death of the child in an operation.  The child’s desire to die chose that event.  People are as free as atoms are.  In no way could you predict what would happen to the child in that photograph of yourself.  In no way now can you “predict” what will happen to you now.  You can choose to accept as your reality any number of given unpredictable events.  In that respect, the choice is yours, but all the events you do not accept occur nevertheless.

In a very small measure you can see how this works when you think of your mother in, say, her last years, and compare your idea of her with those of [your brothers] Linden and Richard.  She was a different person to each of you.  She was herself; but in the interweavings of probabilities, while certain agreed-upon historic events were accepted, she admitted into her reality whatever portions of your probable reality she chose.  Each of you had a different mother.

Probabilities intersect then in your experience, and their intersection you call reality.  Biologically and psychically these are intersections, coming-togethers, consciousness adopting a focus.

Again, Ruburt is still experiencing massiveness …  All of the atoms and molecules that have composed your body since your birth, and will compose it until your death, in your terms, exist now; so even your knowledge of the body is experienced in a time form – that is, bit by bit.

Part of Ruburt’s feeling of massiveness comes from the mass experience of the body, existing all at once.  Therefore, to him the body feels larger.  Calculations impossible to describe occur, so that from this basic unpredictability you experience what seem to be predictable actions.  This is only because you focus upon those actions that “make sense” in your reality, and ignore all others.  I am not speaking symbolically, of course, when I say you died as a youngster.  Nor was any harsh reality forced upon the mother by the dying child, for that portion of your mother was the part that regretted having had the child.

Atoms can move in more directions than one at once.  You only perceive scientifically the probable motion you are interested in.  The same applies to subjective experience.

Only out of unpredictability can an infinite number of orders, or ordered systems, arise.

Anything less than complete unpredictability will ultimately result in stagnation, or orders of existence that in the long run are self-defeating.  Only from unpredictability can any system emerge that can be predictable within itself.  Only within complete freedom of motion is any “ordered” motion truly possible.

From the “chaotic” bed of your dreams springs your ordered daily organized action.  In your reality, the behavior of your consciousness and of your molecules are highly connected.  Your type of consciousness presupposes a molecular consciousness, and your kind of consciousness is inherent in molecular consciousness – inherent within your system, but not basically predictable.  Predictability is simply another word for significance.  Unpredictability, looking at itself in a variety of different fashions, finds certain portions of itself significant, and forms certain orders, or ordered sequences, about itself.  In one of our very early sessions, I told you that you perceive from a vast field only certain data that you find meaningful.  That data could only arise from the bed of unpredictability.  Only unpredictability can provide the greatest source of probable orders.

Your cells are quite able to handle different orders of events; therefore, in the dream state they are able, in their individual ways, to perceive your experience, and from it to choose those actualities you want made real in your terms.

In dreams you are acquainted with probable events, from which you then choose; (to Rob): so before you died as a child, you knew that you could pick or choose that death.  In greater terms you chose both life and death, and the picture of you at the age of 16 was never taken in one reality.
