~Speaking of Seth~

Quote"Biologically there is a period very rarely experienced, as jokingly suggested in the "sick jokes" about senility and second childhood. This particular latent biological ability shows itself only upon the rarest instances — because, for one thing, it represents a feat now scarcely desirable. Physically, however, the body is quite able to completely regenerate itself as it approaches old age. Indeed, a quite legitimate second puberty is possible, in which the male's seed is youthfully strong and vital, and the woman's womb is pliable and able to bear. There are, I believe, Biblical tales of such births resulting."
—NotP Chapter 4: Session 770, April 5, 1976

Quote"... A good percentage of your problems can be worked out rather easily through the use of your imagination.

(Pause at 10:50.) Often you inadvertently use it to prolong "negative" circumstances, as you think of all the things that you could do wrong. Yet you can employ it very constructively, altering past, present and future. To do so in your present, freely imagine a situation in which you are happy. To begin with your imaginings may seem foolish. If you are elderly, poor and lonely, it may seem highly ludicrous to think of yourself as twenty, wealthy, and surrounded by friends and admirers.

Indeed, if after such an enjoyable exercise you look about you and compare what you have envisioned with what you have, then you may feel worse than you did before. You are to realize that this imaginative world does exist — but not in the world of facts that you know. To some extent, however, according to your freedom within it, such an exercise will automatically rejuvenate your body, mind and spirit, and begin to draw to you whatever equivalent is possible for you within the world of facts that you know (emphatically)."

—NoPR Part Two: Chapter 19: Session 669, June 11, 1973

Quote"In the exercise just given, you use the belief in effective change in any given area, and then allow your imagination freedom along those directed lines. Such an exercise automatically does even more, opening up the window of perception and letting in the knowledge and experience of other portions of the self. As this light and energy flows through, it will be tinted or colored by your own psychological reality, as the rays of the sun are through colored glass. This simply means that the other-dimensional information will often appear in ordinary guise, through an intuitive hunch, a sudden idea, or some solution that has already occurred to you but has not been acted upon.

[... 3 paragraphs ...]

In itself, such an exercise creatively alters probabilities, for you no longer live with the problem as an unchanging concrete reality. This is a psychological and psychic impetus, altering the messages that you habitually send to your body and to its cellular construction. You are then creatively manipulating in several layers of experience."

@inavalan I am now 73 years old, and I was thinking along these lines a couple of hours ago. Thanks for your useful post.

There are numberless gems spread across the Seth Material. When you read the transcripts in chronological order it is easy to miss some. Thank you Christopher for your Seth-search engine!

Like this gem:

Quote from: NotP #789, SEPTEMBER 27, 1976in your terms you form events so that they fit into a mass framework. You form your own reality. You do not form it isolated and alone, however. You are aware of other events, and take them into consideration, for example, regardless of appearances. You cannot force another person to experience an event he or she rejects. Nor can anyone act in like manner against you. So-called good or bad events each faithfully follow the inner mechanics.

This agrees with my interpretation of the first verses of the Tao Te Ching (obviously, vastly different from the scholars' translations)

道可道，非常道。--- What seems a truth, it isn't a truth.
名可名，非常名。--- What seems a person, it isn't a person.

无，名天地之始；--- There is no other creator of your reality;
有，名万物之母。--- You are the creator of everything.

Everybody understands through the filter of his own beliefs.

Very interesting. The ancient Chinese version of the Seth teachings!
