Events are alive and grow

Today’s Seth is another mind bender … best taken with alcohol … but nevertheless it is the way reality works.  Because we limited ourselves to a 3D, linear time based, dualistic representation of multidimensional action doesn’t mean that reality (aka God or All That Is) is that simple or even comprehensible to our simplistic brains nor expressible in our simplistic language or logical system.  I always find it interesting that people tend to go as deep down the rabbit hole as they can and then stop there … that’s OK … the problem is that they often fight about it and say that they (and only they) possess the absolute truth when in fact absolute truth isn’t absolute nor is it even expressible in language or human terms.  I guess that conundrum is one of the reasons we keep coming back here … oh yes, the other reason is the absolute joy that love brings in physical reality!

Each event is an action of consciousness … as such, it is alive and is forever seeking it’s unique value fulfillment.  We, in piecing together what we know as our physical lives, give birth to events but never see the full depth and extent of them … instead we shift our focus to creating new events.  

Like ripples radiating out in all directions on a calm body of water after a stone is tossed in, each event (past, present and future) radiates in all directions … in all dimensions.  All events of this lifetime (and all others) exist in the spacious present (there is only NOW).  Therefore, we feel ripples not only from what we know of as the past, but also from the future!  No wonder the Causal Plane seems chaotic to us!

“The point is that past events grow.  They are not finished.  With that in mind, you can see that future lives are very difficult to explain from within your framework.  A completed life in your terms is no more completed or done than any event.  There is simply a cut-off point in your focus from your framework, but it is as artificial as, basically, perspective is applied to painting.

“It is not that the inner self is not aware of all of this, but that it has already chosen a framework or a given frame of existence, that emphasizes certain kinds of experience over others.”

Changing the Past in the Present

Lazaris has said that you change things in the present, the present moment is your point of power.  

What they meant by that, is that if there is a past (or future) life influence coming at you that needs to be relieved, then in the present moment you can enter meditation and move yourself back (or forward) in time with intent and change that other lifetime and it’s influence.  

A case in point.  Years ago I worked through the Lazaris process to develop a communion (communication plus union) with my Higher Self as described in their book: “The Sacred Journey: You and Your Higher Self”.  I figured that if I was going to consciously create reality I’d best do it in harmony with my Higher Self … the Self that sees the big picture.  That process was, for me, life changing!  

Later, I learned a meditative technique (using a river visualization) to cruise backward and forward in time.  There was a particular past lifetime of mine that, I felt, needed some form of closure.  So, I entered meditation with a personification of my Higher Self and, together, we did the time travel into the past life and met this person while he was dying.  After getting acquainted and calming him down, I left him with my Higher Self to make a more elegant and less painful transition.  It worked well.

“As I have mentioned [in other books], you can indeed change the present to some extent by purposefully altering a memory event.  That kind of synthesis can be used in many instances with many people.

“Such an exercise is not some theoretical, esoteric, impractical method, but a very precise, volatile, and dynamic way of helping the present self by calming the fears of a past self.  That past self is not hypothetical, either, but still exists, capable of being reached and of changing its reactions.  You do not need a time machine to alter the past or the future.

“Such a technique is highly valuable.  Not only are memories not “dead”, they are themselves ever-changing.  Many alter themselves almost completely without your notice.”

Each Moment Is A Gateway

Today's Seth is a good one (as usual) and shows the insight and depth available in each moment of life ... if only we were centred enough and aware enough to actually be in each moment.  The details of each moment are rich in insights but we get blinded by the simulation (called physical reality) that we're experiencing.  What we know as thought and emotion arise in the simulation and mask the current of feelings and gestalts coursing through the moments.  I suppose this is a necessary feature of staying engaged in the simulation we know of as LIFE.

Seth has often said that there is only the spacious present.  Our sense of time is part of the 3D, dualistic, linear time simulation we're manifesting.  It's no surprise then that the gateway to realities is always in the present, now moment.

Seize the moment!

"In certain terms the past, present, and future [of your present life] are all compressed in any given moment of your experience.

"Any such moment is therefore a gateway into all of your existences.  The events that you recognize as happening now are simply specific and objective, but the most minute element in any given moment's experience is also symbolic of other events and other times.  Each moment is then like a mosaic, only in your current life history you follow but one color or pattern, and ignore the others."

We create the past and the future in each present moment

Today's Seth is an extension of yesterday's.  For our culture, which is conditioned to believe in an immutable past and linear objective time, it is really hard to accept that each moment is literally brand new ... we get to choose the past, present and future in each moment and to make choices in the moment based on that context.  Our point of power really is in the present.  Because of our belief in sequential time, we do create the present by choosing a range of futures and laying them against the backdrop of a believable past (individually and collectively).

I think one of the problems we have with really living this idea is that we define ourselves by our story in the context of our culture and an agreed upon history.  The Buddhists got it right by realizing that we really aren't our story nor are we defined/confined to our body.  I don't think they fully realized, however, just how much power we have in the present!

This really should not be a surprise, however.  After all - we're creator Gods playing a 3D, dualistic manifestation game!

To get the full implication of this Seth quote I highly recommend reading Jane Roberts' "Oversoul Seven Trilogy".  It is a playful but insightful story that shows the fun and the difficulties at the Soul level in this context.

"It would be most difficult to operate within your sphere of reality without the pretension of concrete, finished events.  You form your past lives now in this life as surely as you form your future ones now also.

"Simultaneously, each of your past and future selves dwell in their own way now, and for them the last sentence also applies."

Every Moment Is Brand New

Today's Seth points out that what we call the past, our memories of past events, are different for each individual, and that these memories change with time.  This is not just a cosmetic or trivial change, but actual changes of past world lines to other probable variations of the same past event, or even the elimination of a past or future event through a present choice or decision. 

Julian Barbour in his book The End of Time proposes a complete theory of physics without the assumption of time; rather, the universe is an infinite collection of possible moments with each moment arising with a consistent past and probable futures (in our linear time perception).  Our Inner Self then chooses which moment to manifest, moment by moment, that is most consistent with our current attitudes, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, choices and decisions (our raw materials of manifestation) and our current desire, imagination and expectation (our tools of manifestation). 

This is really cool because each moment really is brand new.  When we make life-changing choices, they happen in a moment and we are presented a complete past and set of future probabilities that are consistent with it ... seamlessly.  Thus, we never fix the past ... we literally create a new one!

"Because events do not exist in the concrete, done-and-finished versions about which you have been taught, then memory must also be a different story.

"You must remember the creativity and the open-ended nature of events, for even in one life a given memory is seldom a "true version" of a past event.  The original happening is experienced from a different perspective on the part of each person involved, of course, so that the event's implications and basic meanings may differ according to the focus of each participant.  That given event, in your terms happening for the first time, say, begins to "work upon" the participants.  Each one brings to it his or her own background, temperament, and literally a thousand different colorations - so that the event, while shared by others, is still primarily original to each person.

"The moment it occurs, it begins to change as it is filtered through all of those other ingredients, and it is minutely altered furthermore by each succeeding event.  The memory of an event, then, is shaped as much by the present as it is by the past.  Association triggers memories, of course, and organizes memory events.  It also helps color and form such events."

Manifestation 101

Today’s Seth is an aspect of the “Law of Attraction” in manifestation.  It reminds me of a garden metaphor.  What you water grows: water weeds then you get weeds - water flowers then you get flowers.  

The “universe” is fundamentally consciousness and energy (Ramtha).  When you place your attention on a set of possible future outcomes you energize those possibilities in your context regardless of whether you desire them or fear them.  Since everything is consciousness and energy, these peak probabilities grow with conscious attention and they also grow with emotional energy associated with them. Lazaris’ tools of manifestation (desire, imagination and expectation) are what we use continuously (and often not consciously) to energize future possibilities.

The “subconscious and unconscious minds” draw the highest probabilities into your physical reality that are consistent with your attitudes, beliefs, choices, decisions, thoughts and feelings (Lazaris’ building blocks of manifestation).   So it comes as no surprise then, that if you consciously energize future possibilities associated with positive outcomes … life becomes magical.  The converse is also true.

““You get what you concentrate upon”.  Your mental images bring about their fulfillment.”

The Body

It’s amazing how our thoughts can inhibit our natural physical, psychic and spiritual state of grace.  

Here Seth points out that the body that we project from moment to moment is a living “social statement” … a vibrantly alive symbolic representation of our current thoughts and feelings, choices and decisions, attitudes and beliefs (collectively our building blocks of manifestation); plus it represents the current result of our desires, imagination and expectation (our tools of manifestation).  It is very personal and, like a computer avatar, it is how we want others to “see” us.

Like good quality artists tools, the body is spring loaded for exuberant, joy-filled, loving expression in a beautiful “heaven on earth” as we “paint” our 3-D pictures of physical reality and place them in a time sequence.  Unfortunately, this gets compromised by our limiting beliefs, etc. which are largely the result of the very rudimentary logical system that we’re using here in creation kindergarten.  As Seth says elsewhere, our conditioned “survival instincts”, particularly in a "survival of the fittest" world of extreme duality, cause our brain to anticipate the worst and, when the brain is allowed free reign in that direction, it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy … in spite of the body’s best efforts.

Taste the coffee, smell the roses … and love exuberantly!

“The body is a spiritual, psychic, and social statement, biologically spoken.  It is obviously private, yet it cannot be concealed, in that “it is where you are”, in usual terms.”

“The body is, therefore, quite well equipped to deal with its physical stance in the physical world, and its defense systems are unerring in that respect.  Your conscious mind, however, directs your temporal perception and interprets that perception, organizing it into mental patterns.  The body, again, must depend upon those interpretations.  The biological basis of all life is a loving, divine and cooperative one, and presupposes a safe physical stance from which any member of any species feels actively free to seek out its needs and to communicate with others of its kind.”
