"Unknown" Reality, Session 684
These units of consciousness (CU’s) move
faster than the speed of light, then – but that statement itself is meaningless
in a way, since the units exist outside as well as inside the framework in
which light itself has meaning.
As these units approach physical structure,
however, they do slow down in your terms.
Electrons, for example, are slow dullards in comparison with EE
units. It goes without saying that the
units of consciousness are “mental”, of if you prefer, disembodied, though from
their inner organization all physical forms emerge. Certain intensities are built up of unit
organization even before the smallest physical particle, or even invisible
“physical” particle, exists. These units
form what you think of as the mind, around which the structure of the brain is
formulated. The units permeate the
brain.
The great communication system within the
body itself is dependent, then, upon the constant inner flux and flow of these
units. On one level the body’s very
survival is largely determined by the units’ propensities for selectivity and
significance. Also, however, the body’s
physical reality is a seeming constant in a seemingly constant physical
existence.
Only because these units have their source
outside of space and time is the present corporeal reality a triumph of
probabilities. Your present image, for example, seems to be the only one
possible for you, permanently yours for your lifetime at least; and what
happens to it almost inevitable. If you
become ill, say, you may wonder why, and yet once illness has happened it
becomes part of the body’s reality, and seems almost like an inevitable part of
its existence.
Yet the units of consciousness, being
independent of space and time, form your cellular structure, and that structure
deals in a most basic manner with the nature of probabilities. Although the body appears permanent and in
existence from one moment to the next, basically it constantly rises out of the
bed of probabilities, hovering at your now-point of perception and experience,
and its apparent stability is dependent upon the knowledge of “future”
probabilities as well as “past” ones.
Your present is the result of your own
poised consciousness, choosing its perception and the nature of its life from a
field that is at all predictable only because of the greater area of
organization available to it.
Your body’s condition at any time is not so
much the result of its own comprehension of its “past history” as it is the
result of its own comprehension of future probabilities. The cells precognate. This is being simplified for now. I will make it clearer later in the book. But your limited ideas of time cause
conceptual barriers that operate even when you consider the structure of
physical biological life.
For example: It is truer to say that
heredity operates from the future backward into the past, than it is to say
that it operates from the past into the present. Neither statement would be precisely correct
in any case, because your present is a poised balance affected as much by the
probable future as the probable past.
At no time, as a rule, is your body not
here to you. Your experience seems
centered within it, with the rest of the world safely outside. However, the particular selectivity of your
kind of consciousness rides over lapses that you do not recognize. In a manner of speaking, your bodies blink
off and on like lights. Their reality
fluctuates, from your standpoint. For
that matter, so does the physical universe.
You can understand what is meant by saying
that your consciousness fluctuates – for each individual is aware of various
intensities and concentrations. You are
more alert, or, in your terms more conscious on some occasions than
others. Now the same applies to these
units of consciousness – and to atoms, molecules, electrons, and other such
phenomena. The world literally blinks
off and on. This reality of fluctuation
in no way bothers your own feeling of consistency, however. The “holes of nonexistence” are plugged up by
the process of selectivity. This process
chooses significances then, again, around which experience is built, and around
which “life” is felt. The very
sensations of one kind of life then automatically set up barriers against other
such “world-schemes” that do not correlate with their own.
It is impossible for you to examine an
atom, a cell, or anything else except in your now. Because your sense experience follows a time
pattern that you can understand, then you take it for granted that a cell, for
example, is the result of its past, and that its present condition arises from
the past. The fetus grows into an adult,
not because it is programmed from the past, but because it is to some extent
precognitively aware of its probabilities, and from the “future” then imprints
this information into the past structure.
From your viewpoint, however, an
examination of a cell will not show you that, but only its present
condition. It should appear obvious from
what I am saying that neither future nor past is predetermined. From your platform of poised self-experience,
you alter both the past and the future, and that alteration, that
change, that action, causes your point of immediate sense life.
The precious privacy of your existence, and
indeed of your universe, is all the more miraculous, so to speak, precisely
because its probable reality emerges from an infinite field of probabilities,
each forever inviolate. It is
important that these ideas be considered.
You cannot separate your beliefs about
reality from the reality that you experience.
That is, your beliefs about reality form it. Your ideas about what is possible and what is
not possible are reflected in all areas.
It is almost impossible to begin with
concepts of one isolated universe, one self at the mercy of its past, one time
sequence, and end up with any acceptable theory of a multidimensional soul or
godhead that is anything else but a glorified personified concept of what you
think man is.
Not only do your metaphysics and sciences
suffer, but your daily experience as a human being is far less than it could
be. There are, then, probabilities
quite present, and for that matter biologically practical, that would allow for
a change in individual consciousness so great as literally to propel the race
into another level of experience entirely.
As in your terms the cavemen ventured out into the daylight of
the earth, there is a time for man to venture out into a greater knowledge of
his subjective reality, to explore the dimensions of selfhood and go beyond the
small areas of himself in which he has thus far found shelter.
In terms of history as you understand it,
man felt safe and secure as a prime species under one sun, imagining that all
else revolved about his being. This
provided, in that framework, a stability that was dispensed with as man allowed
his consciousness other freedoms. So he
must now come to realize that he himself chooses from a myriad of
probabilities the one that he now encounters.
The one self that he recognizes is the only
part of himself of which he is presently aware.
Other facets of consciousness available to him, and a part of his
greater nature, appear foreign, or “not-self”, or “beyond self”, because of the
focus of selectivity as it now operates.
This obviously does not mean that there are
not entities whose selfhood is completely apart from your own. It does mean that your concepts force you to
misinterpret and distort any “intrusive” information, or experience, that is
part of portions of your own being that you do not recognize as your official
self.
Such behavior even causes a certain
corporal dishonesty, for the cells’ freedom from time means that on certain
levels the cellular structure is aware of probable future events, as
mentioned. The body, therefore, is
reacting to future and past activity as well, in order to maintain its present
corporal balance.
The body’s innate knowledge, then, will try
to translate itself often into psychological activity that may result in
hunches, premonitions, and so forth. The
senses may be utilized to clarify the message.
You might hear a voice mentally, for example, or see a flashing
image. According to your beliefs, you
may interpret such data in any of many ways, but because such experiences are
not an accepted part of recognized, official activity, they can appear
frightening. You may assign them to “spirits”
or disembodied personalities, but in such a way that these are thrown together
in a confusing mass of dogma or superstition.
If you understood to begin with that you
are a spirit, and therefore free of space and time yourself, then you could at
least consider the possibility that some such messages were coming to you from
other portions of your own reality. Such
messages are often ways of allowing you to avoid certain probable actions.
