SETH QUOTES![]() CHAPTER 16: Probable Systems, Men, and Gods "All actions are initially mental acts. This is the nature of reality. All mental acts therefore are valid. They exist and cannot be negated." "These probable selves...are a portion of your identity or soul, and if you are out of contact with them it is only because you focus upon physical events and accept them as the criteria for reality." "Your slightest thought gives birth to worlds." "There are probable gods as there are probable men; but these probable gods are all a part of what you may call the soul of, or the identity of, All That Is; even as your probable selves are all a portion of your soul or entity." "The nature of All That Is can only be sensed directly through the inner senses, or, in a weaker communication, through inspiration or intuition. The miraculous complexity of such reality cannot be translated verbally." "Have you ever questioned the nature of probabilities?" "There are deep connections between yourself and all those individuals with whom you have had relationships, and with whom you were involved in deep decisions." "These [connections] are not nebulous. They are profound psychological interconnections that bind you each to each, particularly in a telepathic framework, though this may be beneath normal consciousness." "In your present moment of time, you are positioned in the center of a cosmic web of probabilities that is affected by your slightest mental or emotional act." "Now you are also the receiver of other such signals coming from other probabilities that are connected with your own, but you choose which of those probable actions you want to make real or physical in your system, as others also have the freedom of choice in their systems." "You originate ideas then and receive them, but you are not forced to actualize unrealized probable acts that come to you from other probable selves. Now there is a natural attraction between yourself and other probable selves, electromagnetic connections having to do with simultaneous propulsions of energy. By this I mean energy that appears simultaneously both to you and probable selves in other realities; psychic connections having to do with a uniting, sympathetic, emotional reaction and a connection that shows up very strongly in the dream state." "The connections make for quite constant 'bleed-throughs.' Once you are aware of the probable system, however, you will also learn to become alert to what I will here call 'benign intrusive impulses.'" "Such impules ['benign intrusive impulses'] would seem to be disconnected from your own currrent interests or activities; intrusive in that they come quickly into consciousness, with a sense of strangeness as if they are not your own. These can often offer clues of various kinds. You may know absolutely nothing about music, for example, and one afternoon while in the middle of some mundane activity be struck by a sudden impulse to buy a violin." [I absolutely have identity with THIS experience! This is how my studies in Japanese had started.] "It goes without saying then that probable selves exist in your 'future' as well as your past." "It is very poor policy to dwell negatively on unpleasant aspects of the past that you know, because some portions of the probable self may still be involved in that past." "To dwell upon the possibility of illness or disaster is equally poor policy, for you set up negative webs of probabilities that need not occur." "You can theoretically alter your own past as you have known it, for time is no more something divorced from you than probabilities are." "By changing this past in your mind, now, in your present, you can change not only its nature but its effect, and not only upon yourself but upon others." [Man, do I know THIS one be very real.] "It is not a self-deception. The event that you choose will automatically be a probable event, which did in fact happen, though it is not the event you chose to perceive in your given probable past." "Telepathically, if the process is done correctly, your idea will also affect any people who were connected with the original event, through they can choose to reject as well as accept your version." "Remember...that in a most legitimate way many events that are not physically perceived or experienced are as valid as those that are, and are as real within your own invisible psychological environment." "Because there are bleed-throughs and interconnections, it is possible for you to tune into a 'future event,' say of an unfortunate nature, an event for which you are headed if you continue on your present course. A dream about it, for instance, may so frighten you that you avoid the event and do not experience it. If so, such a dream is a message from a probable self who did experience the event." "The entire is being now." "For as individuals have their probable destinies, so do civilizations, nations, and inhabited planetary systems." "In their own way, even atoms and molecules retain a knowledge of the forms through which they have passed, and so the individuals that compose any given civilization contain deep within themselves the inner knowledge of experiments and trials, successes and failures, in which the races have also been involved at other levels of reality." "To some extent...the 'truth' must be sifted through your own conceptual patterns in order for you to comprehend it at all." "You understand that there are spectrums of light. So are there spectrums of matter. Your system of physical reality is not dense in comparison with some others. The dimensions that you give to physical matter barely begin to hint at the varieties of dimensions possible." "What you perceive is but a fraction of their entire multidimensional existence." "It is impossible to separate one physical event from the other probable events, for these are all dimensions of one action." "The mind...the inner counterpart of the brain, can at times perceive the far greater dimensions of any given event through a burst of sudden intuition or comprehension that cannot be adequately described on a verbal level." "Time as you think of it does not exist." "Time's true nature could be understood if the basic nature of the atom was ever made known to you." "It seems as if an atom 'exists' steadily for a certain amount of time. Instead it phases in and out, so to speak. It fluctuates in a highly predictable pattern and rhythm. It can be perceived within your system only at certain points in this fluctuation, so it seems to scientists that the atom is steadily present. They are not aware of any gaps of absence as far as the atom is concerned." In those periods of nonphysical projection, the off periods of fluctuation, the atoms 'appear' in another system of reality. In that system they are perceived in what are 'on' points of fluctuation, and in that system also then the atoms (seem to) appear steadily. There are many such points of fluctuation, but your system of course is not aware of them, nor of the ultimate actions, universes, and systems that exist within them. Now the same sort of behavior occurs on a deep, basic, secret, and unexplored psychological level. the physically oriented consciousness, responding to one phase of the atom's activity, comes alive and awake to its particular existence, but in between are other fluctuations in which consciousness is focused upon entirely different systems of reality; each of these coming awake and responding, and each one having no sense of absence, and memory only of those particular fluctuations to which they respond." "The atom is in all these other systems at one time." "One such fluctuation might take several thousand of your years, for example. These several thousand years would be experienced, say, as a second of your time, with the events occurring within it perceived simply as a 'present period.'" "Your probable realities are multiple presents." "In one way, an atom could be compared to a microsecond." |
