~Speaking of Seth~

i'm always looking at the seth material as how can i use this day to day, to create the reality that i want. as he says, this physical reality is for learning to manipulate energy. so i want to do that even better than i do right now.

now - thanks to Tob who mentioned that TES (sessions 50-64) contained seth talking about matter and creation pretty extensively, i dug in there to figure out a couple of things for myself.

i first read it some 15 years ago, and as usual when i go back into a lot of the seth material - it again just blew my mind open. so that's awesome.

in it, my takeaway was that matter first of all exists as consciousness, in patterns as he says (psychic patterns). then from there, energy enters those patterns, which finally ends up creating matter in our physical reality. a very simple summary.

and the energy he talks about that comes in and creates physical matter, is his classic pulsing energy. the energy pulses.

my question is - that pulsing energy - what is your understanding of what it is? is it something that i control, or manipulate, to send it into those psychic patterns to then create my physical realty? (my working knowledge/belief is that those patterns/psychic patterns, are simply the thoughts/beliefs/expectations that i hold)

or is that energy simply always there, always on - perhaps the very energy of all that is - that by its nature pulses out and fills up whatever patterns are in my psychic reality, which then projects those patterns into my 3d physical reality?

i'm trying to keep this as simple as possible. a kind of 40,000 foot view to not get caught up in the minutiae.


many thanks
 

I remember reading a book somewhere about how Emperor Constantine affected different books in the bible and what made it in and what was removed.  Now I don't know how much fact there is to that.  The book may have been biased somewhat.  But I have to imagine that over the many intervening years, interpretations have changed significantly.

Quote from: Deb

Wow, 5% seems a pretty low average, I wonder how he came up with that figure.

Deb, even 5% is pure gold if it is indubitably true. I think I can accept 5% of the Bible or 5% of the Bhagavad Gita.

"The Gita adopts the Upanishadic concept of Absolute Reality (Brahman)" - Fits well with Seth's concept of All That Is.

Hi Sena, Hi All,

With some of the comments that you've been posting lately in the forum (you don't believe that Seth comments on evil is legitimate, you don't believe in Seth's ideas about probabilities) I'm curious, does this mean that you think that only 5% of the Seth information is true as well?

If not, then how much of it do you actually believe is true?


If you say 5%, I'm not threatened by that, but I might wonder why you would bother to participate here, if that was really the truth. On the other hand, at this point if you said 99%, I'd have a pretty hard time believing that, that was really true.

Somewhere in the, ACIM literature, they say something to the effect that you “must” complete this course.  I find that type of “determinism” to be quite offense. To me, this rings the alarms of the type of thing that the Christian church insists that you believe.

It says this:
In-1. This is a course in miracles. 2 It is a required course. 3 Only the time you take it is voluntary. 4 Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. 5 It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time. 6 The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. 7 It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love's presence, which is your natural inheritance. 8 The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite.

If this is what you are referring to, it means that everyone will go through the course at some point, and it's your choice as to when.  Like I've said, it has an "ascension" sound to it.  It means that we're all headed in the direction the course gives and we can choose to go willingly, or kicking and screaming.  At least that's how I read it.

Hi All,

Recently, I’ve come up with what I think, is a great analogy for Seth’s idea of simultaneous time. Here’s this analogy.


Whenever I look out upon my experience here on earth, the following all appear to be true.  The earth is not moving (as in, moving through space) the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, every day.  Along with this, the moon, planets and stars also all appear to be rise in the east and set in the west.


However, using my mind and my imagination, I can perceive that this may not in fact be true. Seeing things from a different perspective, in my mind, I can imagine that I’m on a spacecraft, high above both the sun and in the earth.  Furthermore, when I look out the window of this spacecraft, this is what I see.

Both the sun and the earth are hurdling through space.  As they do this, the earth revolves on its axis, once every “day”. Furthermore, along with this, the earth also revolves around the sun in an elliptical orbit, completing one revolution, in approximately one “year”.


The fact that the sun “seems” to rise in the east and set in the west every day, while here on earth, doesn’t preclude the possibility that the actual truth here is this. The earth is actually moving through space and as it does so, it’s revolving on its axis, once a day, as its revolving around the sun, approximately once a year.



In a similar fashion, perhaps the fact that time “seems” to occur as a consecutive sequence, while here on earth, doesn’t necessarily preclude the possibility that the actual truth here is this. All time is simultaneous.

There is one more factor that I would like to add to this analogy. If, in fact time really is just a consecutive sequence, as many of us seem to experience it, here on earth, then Einstein’s, “Theory of Relativity” where he tells us that time is “relative” also wouldn’t seem to be true either. However, if Einstein’s theory really is valid, then maybe time, as we perceived it here on earth, isn’t what we think it is. Maybe what Seth tells us about time, that it is simultaneous is actually true as well.

This is one of the main reason why, I, personally think that Seth may be onto something, when he says that all time is simultaneous.
