Title: MultiDimensional Personalities and Religions
Post by: jbseth on November 15, 2020, 09:52:18 AM
Hi All,

The information in the spoiler below comes from the Appendix of "Seth Speaks", ESP Class Session: Tuesday, June 23, 1970. 

Here Seth talks about our multidimensional personalities and why there are so many religions & philosophies. I think that this is some of Seth's best teachings.

...someone like myself will come along and take off the comfort blankets — for after a while they hamper your development, where earlier they helped you grow.

Hi jbseth,

Seth seems to be referring to religious belief systems as "comfort blankets" here, but personally I find Seth's ideas more comforting than any religion I've studied. We're the ones creating our reality, and we can alter it at the pace that feels comfortable to us.  I don't have to impress a watchful and judgmental God, and there is nothing I need do to become worthy of salvation, as in the Abrahamic traditions.  According to Seth I am assured of the continuation of the self, rather than having to convince myself that there is no underlying self/soul, as in Buddhism.

He is taking the blanket away in a certain sense, though: I am responsible for conscious creation of my reality through the active process of changing my beliefs. 

That was a good read--thanks.

leidl/jbseth. according to the Abrahamic religions, God has given "souls" only to human beings. Seth's teaching is that every atom and molecule contains consciousness:

"You will remember that we said that atoms and molecules contained consciousness, a generalized consciousness first of all, in which data is suspended in condensed mental genetic code, and also a self-consciousness to some limited degree. The capacity and mechanism necessary to project idea into physical matter is, therefore, present in the individual atom and molecule. I mentioned how the atoms and molecules combine to form cells, while each individual atom and molecule does not give up its own uniqueness, but forms rather a gestalt, so that a cell is indeed a psychic gestalt given physical construction through the capacity that exists within each individual component." (from "The Early Sessions: Book 2 of The Seth Material" by Jane Roberts, Robert Butts, Session 51)
