Unknown Reality, Session 733
When you are in
an airplane looking down upon the planet, then you see the mountain ranges and
the valleys, the rivers, plateaus, cities, fields and villages. To some extent you realize that the world has
physical contents, existing at one time yet varying in their
characteristics. In those terms, the
world is composed of its physical ingredients.
That “package” is the only part of the picture that you see, however.
Psychically,
your world is composed of the contents of its consciousness. You have maps of continents and oceans, and
in the entire view each portion is like a piece of jigsaw puzzle, all fitting
together perfectly, smoothly flowing into the natural structure of the
world. So at any given time there is a
world consciousness, a perfect jigsaw of awareness in which each identity,
however large or small, has its part.
There are
earthquakes that erupt physically, and tracings are made of them. There are also inner earthquakes of
consciousness from which the physical ones emerge – storms of mind or being,
eruptions in which one segment of the world consciousness, repressed in one
area, explodes in another.
If you could
orbit your planet in a different kind of craft, you could view the psychic
contents of the world, seeing the world consciousness shining far more
brilliantly than any lighted city. You
could spot the point of intense activity, see the birth of new myths and the
death of old ones as certainly as you might be able to see a mountain slide or
a tidal wave. The physical portions of
earth are all related. So does
consciousness form its own kind of inner structures from which, again, the
physical ones emerge. You are indeed
counterparts, then, each of the other.
Yet as there is great variety to physical form, so counterparts follow a
still more expansive inner freedom that finds an even greater diversity of
characteristics.
As I have
certainly hinted, the body is a miraculous organism, and you have barely
learned the most simple of its structures.
You do not understand the properties of soul or body, yet the body was
given to you so that you could learn from it.
The properties of the earth are meant to lead you into the nature of the
soul. You create physical reality, yet
without knowing how you do so, so that the wondrous structures of the earth
itself is meant to lead you to question your own source. Nature as you understand it is meant to be
your teacher. You are not its master.
The creator
is not the master of his creations. He is simply their creator, and he creates
because he does not attempt to control.
When you try to
control power or people, you always copy.
To some extent the world copies itself, in that there are
patterns. But those patterns are always
changed to one extent or another, so that no object is ever a copy of another –
though it may appear to be the same.
In your terms,
the world is intensely different from one moment to another, with each smallest
portion of consciousness choosing its reality from a field of infinite
probabilities. Immense calculations, far
beyond your conscious decisions as you think of them, are possible only
because of the unutterable freedom that resides within minute worlds inside
your skull – patterns of interrelationships, counterparts so cunningly woven
that each is unique, freewheeling, and involved in an infinite cooperative
venture so powerful that the atoms stay in certain forms, and the same stars
shine in the sky.
The familiar and
strange are intimately connected in your most obvious, your simplest
utterance. You are surrounded by miracles. Why, then, does the world so often seem dour
and cruel? Why do your fellow beings
sometimes seem like unfeeling monsters – Frankensteins not of body but of mind,
spiritual idiots, ignorant of any heritage of love or truth or even graceful
beasthood? Why does it seem to many of
you that the race, the species, is doomed?
Why do some of you feel, in your quiet moments, such a sentence just?
You make your
own reality.
Generally
speaking, most of you live in your own world, with
others of your kind. Those of you who do
not believe in war have not experienced it. It may have surrounded you, but you did not
experience it. Those of you who do not
believe in greed have not suffered its “consequences”. If you still see it, it is because it is a
part of your reality. If you are
honestly not greedy, yet you see greed, then perhaps you are serving as an
example to others – but you form your own reality.
There are more
worlds than you suppose, and in your own private experience each of you
contributes to the world that you know.
You and your counterparts together form it. Your physical body alone is equipped to
perceive far more than you presently allow it to. Physically you are a part of every other
person upon the earth, and you have a connection with each leaf and frog and
nail.
You choose the
city or state or country in which you live.
No one forces you to stay there unless you are looking for an excuse to
remain. So you choose your psychic land
as well. You can travel from one psychic
land to another as you can journey into other parts of the physical world. Some great travelers never left the country
of their birth.
Michelangelo
roamed the centuries picking up visions and ideas as others might buy
postcards, journeying from one country to a foreign land. His genius shows you what you are, and yet it
is but a hint of the potential with which your species is endowed.
In the light of
such ideals, surely you seem wanting – yet your reality is one in which the
greatest freedoms have been allowed. This
means that you have given yourselves full range so that all
probabilities could be explored, and none left out that were physically
feasible.
The species gave
itself no “preordained” taboos.
The infinite
ranges possible to human capabilities would be explored – and those who chose
that route said, quote “We will trust that our creativity will find its own
way, and if there are nightmares we will waken from them. We will even learn from them. We will dare to push aside the dimensions of
being into those realms in which only the gods have gone before – and through
our utter vulnerability to experience, discover the divinity that gives our
humanity its meaning. And through the
compassion that we have learned, will we be able to understand the divine
errors that gave us the gift of our birth.
Souls and molecules each are learning, each are forming realities, each
are a part of a divinity in which each counterpart has a part to play.”
I dwell, in a
way, in a realm that is more direct than yours. That is one image. I allow myself greater acknowledgment of my
being. I speak with the wisdom, for
example, that your cells would utter if they had speech.
I am more aware
of my reality than you are of yours, but the terms of being are the same in
every place and every time. They bring
forth the greater comprehension of each self, of itself. Ruburt experiences now what he calls a
massive quality, a physical and psychic expansion of consciousness in which the
dear familiar world seems small – yet twice precious. So does it appear to my consciousness.
The petty wars,
even those still to be fought, are but dim memories, once vital but lost as
nightmares in greater awakenings. So
even in this moment Ruburt faintly feels a nostalgic memory for lives come and
gone, as you might for fond dreams barely recalled.
They represent a
present unique beyond telling, alive in each consciousness, more important than
you recognize. There are no real rules
to be followed that will bring you into such an encounter with the present
moment of reality – only a trust in the nature of your being. And that trust is within you whether
or not you recognize it, for it gives you your present experience; and no
matter how your mind questions, it rides securely in the great creativity of
the soul.
That soul
constantly creates the body, and each individual on the face of the earth at
any given time places his or her trust in that reality. That feeling of certainty is the same that
any plant knows. Any idea, creative
insight, or dream, rides upon the same sure thrust.
