Session 583

Seth Speaks, Session 583

(“… I wonder why Western man isn’t more aware of these (projection) abilities … why doesn’t he cultivate them and put them to use?”)

Western man has chosen to focus his energy outward and largely ignore inner realities.  The social and cultural aspects, and even the religious ones, automatically inhibit such experiences from childhood on.  There is no social benefit at all connected with projections in your society, and many taboos against it.

This is, of course, chosen by those involved in that civilization.  There are also balances that exist before moderation and understanding are reached.  Some personalities choose to be reincarnated in exteriorly oriented societies, in compensation for lives that were lived with great concentration inward, and very poor physical manipulation.  Man learns, you see, that inner reality and outer reality both must be understood and used constructively.

Projections occur of course in the sleep state constantly, whether or not they are remembered.  They are recalled when there is some reason to do so, some merit or obvious achievement involved, as in societies where it is considered highly advantageous to use dreams and projections.

If you are presently experiencing a life in which you have chosen high emphasis upon physical locomotion, for example, then through vague dream memories of flying you can be inspired toward, say, the invention of airplanes or rockets; but if you actually understand the fact that your own consciousness can indeed travel outside of the body, then the impetus toward physical developments in locomotion is not nearly so intense.

(“In the 429^th session … you said that some personalities can be a part of more than one entity.”)

I have mentioned this many times.  There are no boundaries to the self, and no barriers put upon its development.  A personality may “originally” be a part of a given entity, and on its own develop interests quite different.  It can on its own take a lonely way, or it can instead attach itself or gravitate toward other entities with interests like its own.  The original connection will not be severed, but new ones made and formed.

(“In Chapter Nineteen of The Seth Material you gave a list of the inner senses.  Are there more of these that you haven’t told us about?”)

There are indeed.  They have to do, however, with experiences that you will not normally encounter in your particular system, that lie latent.

Almost any cell has the capacity for growing into any given organ, or forming any part of the body.  It has the capacity for developing sense organs that, practically speaking, will not be developed if the cell becomes an elbow or a knee, but the capacity is there.  This applies not only to your own species but in many cases between species, and there are basic units in all living matter capable of forming animal or vegetable life, capable of developing the perceptive mechanisms inherent in any of these.

It is therefore theoretically possible for you to see the world through a frog’s eye, or a bird’s or an ant’s.  We are speaking here of physical senses.  The inner self has also latent inner senses beside the ones that it normally uses while the consciousness is tuned into a particular camouflage system.

Some, however, are inexpressible in physical terms, and only analogies could be used to hint of their nature.  In this book there is no need to discuss them.  They belong in a book given more specifically to interior methods of perception.
