Text: The units so charged with intensive emotional energy formed patterns for matter that retained their strength. Now these units, while appearing within your system, may also have a reality outside it, propelling the emotional energy units through the world of matter entirely. These units, as I told you, are indestructible. They can, however, lose or gain power, fall back into intensities beneath matter, or go through matter, appearing as matter as they do so and projecting through your system. We will deal with that portion of their activity separately. In such cases, however, they are in a point of transition obviously and in a state of becoming. You may take a break or end the session as you prefer. ("I guess we'd better end it.") I wanted to give you this material. ("It's very interesting.") It is only a beginning. I would disregard the analogies if you did not need them. A fond good evening. ("Good evening, Seth.") (10:45. After we talked a bit, I deduced that Seth/Jane had been trying for the word ³Stonehenge,³ meaning the ancient Druidic stone monoliths arranged in a circle in England, etc. Jane then said this was the word Seth had been trying to get her to say. She didn't know why it didn't come out while in trance, since she knows the word and what it stands for.) SESSION 509, NOVEMBER 24, 1969, 9:10 P.M. MONDAY (Today Jane had been reading Experimental Psychology by C. G. Jung, first American edition, published by Jung's heirs in 1968. We hadn't asked Seth to comment.) Good evening. ("Good evening, Seth.") The conscious ego rises, indeed, out of the ³unconscious,³ but the unconscious, being the creator of the ego, is necessarily far more conscious than its offspring. The ego is simply not conscious enough to be able to contain the vast knowledge that belongs to the inner conscious self from which it springs. It is this inner self, out of massive knowledge and the unlimited scope of its consciousness, that forms the physical world and provides stimuli to keep the outer ego constantly at the job of awareness. It is the inner self, here termed the inner ego, that organizes, initiates, projects, and controls the EE (electromagnetic energy) units of which we have been speaking, transforming energy into objects, into matter. The energy of this inner self is used by it to form from itself ñ from inner experience ñ a material counterpart in which the outer ego then can act out its role. The outer ego then acts out a play that the inner self has written. This is not to say that the outer ego is a puppet. It is to say that the outer ego is far less conscious than the inner ego, that its perception is less, that it is far less stable though it makes great pretense of stability, that it springs from the inner self and is therefore less, rather than more, aware. The outer ego is spoon-fed, being given only those feelings and emotions, only that data, that it can handle. This data is presented to it in a highly specialized manner, usually in terms of information picked up by the physical senses. The inner self or ego is not only conscious, but conscious of itself, both as an individuality apart from others and as an individuality that is a part of all other consciousness. In your terms, it is continually aware, both of this apartness and unity-with. The outer ego is not continuously aware of anything. It frequently forgets itself. When it becomes swept up in a strong emotion it seems to lose itself; there is unity, then, but no sense of apartness. When it most vigorously maintains its sense of individuality, it is no longer aware of unity-with. The inner ego is always aware of both aspects and is organized about its primary aspect, which is creativity. It constantly translates the components of its gestalt into reality ñ either physical reality through the EE units I have mentioned, or into other realities equally as valid. Now you may take your break and we shall continue. (During our break I wondered aloud if Jung had changed his ideas since his physical death.) (Resume 10:05.) Now: the EE (electromagnetic energy) units are the forms that basic experience takes when directed by this inner self. These, then, form physical objects, physical matter. Matter, in other words, is the shape that basic experience takes when it intrudes into three-dimensional systems. Matter is the shape of your dreams. Your dreams, thoughts, and emotions are literally transformed into physical matter purposefully by this inner self. The individual inner self, then, through constant massive effort of great creative intensity, cooperates with all other inner selves to form and maintain the physical reality that you know, so that physical reality is an offshoot or by-product of the highly conscious inner self. Buildings appear to be made of rock or stone or steel. They appear fairly permanent to the physical senses. They are actually oscillating, ever-moving, highly charged gestalts of EE units ("beneath," say, any atomic particles), organized and maintained by the collective efforts on the part of inner selves. They (the buildings) are solidified emotions, solidified subjective states, given physical materialization. The powers of consciousness are clearly not understood, then. Each individual has his part to play in projecting these EE units into physical actuality. Therefore, physical matter can be legitimately described as an extension of the self, as much as the physical body is a projection of the inner self. It is obvious that the body grows up about the inner self, and that trees grow out of the ground, whereas buildings do not spring up like flowers of their own accord; so the inner self has various methods of creation and uses the EE units in different ways, as you shall see as we continue with the discussion. Having determined upon physical reality as a dimension in which it will express itself, the inner self, first of all, takes care to form and maintain the physical basis upon which all else must depend; the properties of earth that can be called natural ones. The inner self has a vast and infinite reservoir from which to draw knowledge and experience. All kinds of choices are available, and the diversity of physical matter is a reflection of this deep source of variety. With the natural structures formed and maintained, other secondary physical properties ñ secondary constructions ñ are projected. The deepest, most basic and abiding subjective experience is translated, however, into those natural elements: the ample landscape that sustains physical life. We will continue with this discussion at our next session. Jung enlarged on some of his concepts shortly before he died. (Leaning forward, humorously emphatic.) He has changed a good many of them since then. Now you may take a break or end the session as you prefer. ("We'll take the break.") (10:30 P.M. Jane said she thought the delivery had taken perhaps ten minutes instead of the twenty-five it had actually taken. Resume at 10:43.) We will shortly end the session. Suffice it to say, however, that in the future what I am telling you will be more generally known. Men will become familiar to some extent with their own inner identity, with other forms of their own consciousness. Throughout the ages, some have recognized the fact that there is self-consciousness and purpose in certain dream and sleep states, and have maintained, even in waking life, the sense of continuity of this inner self. To such people it is no longer possible to identify completely with the ego consciousness. They are too obviously aware of themselves as more. When such knowledge is gained, the ego can accept it, for it finds to its surprise that it is not less conscious, but more, that its limitations are dissipated. Now: it is not true ñ and I emphasize this strongly ñ that so-called unconscious material, given any freedom, will draw energy away from the egotistically organized self in a normal personality. Quite the contrary, the ego is replenished and rather directly. It is the fear that the ³unconscious³ is chaotic that causes psychologists to make such statements. There is also something in the nature of those who practice psychology: a fascination, in many cases, already predisposed to fear the ³unconscious³ in direct proportion to its attraction for them. The ego maintains its stability, its seeming stability, and its health, from the constant subconscious and unconscious nourishment which it receives. Too much nourishment will not kill it. Do you follow me here? ("Yes.") Only when such nourishment is for some reason cut off to a considerable degree is the ego threatened by starvation. We will have more to say concerning the ego's relationship with the ³unconscious.³ In a healthy personality, the inner self easily projects all experience into EE units, where they are translated into actuality. Physical matter, therefore, acts as a feedback. Now we will end our session, unless you have questions. ("I guess not. It's been very interesting.") My heartiest regards and a fond good evening to you both. So with this segment, we can easily begin to pick up how familiar our Higher Selves must be with these units of consciousness. Seth essentially says that each sphere, pulsating its way through the different geometric shapes, is an EE unit, and that these EE units make up our entire physical reality. With these words, we can well begin to get a glimpse of the far-reaching metaphysical realities that underlie these units. Since they are formed by consciousness, we create them constantly, whether we are aware of it or not, through our own thoughts. They can hold certain specific emotional energy charges, and emotional energies are often rooted in the archetypal systems, which we will briefly discuss. The rest of this chapter may seem to be off-topic from the direct physics discussions, but it is partly designed to give the less technically inclined reader some breathing room; it is also designed to explore the more esoteric ramifications of the perspective that Seth has given us on the physics under discussion. ARCHETYPES AND THE HARMONIC DIMENSIONS Archetypes are often mentioned, such as in the Law of One series, but few people really understand them, so we will explore them for a moment. Essentially, the theory behind the archetypes is that all life experiences that anyone could have may be refined and organized into a common series of events. Each archetypal event would then be a necessary part of learning our lessons in Spiritual Growth in order to advance further. According to Ra, there are certain lessons that each density teaches us, which we must pass through in order to achieve the vibratory level necessary for the next level. Each vibratory level, then, could be likened to an archetype for a specific lesson that needs to be learned, for each of the three parts of our being; spiritual, mental, and physical. Here we enter the major arcana of the Tarot cards, which was based on what are known as the ³sephiroth³ from the Jewish mystical system known as the Cabala. It is a longstanding tradition among mystics that both Tarot and Cabalistic systems, each having 22 archetypes, contain the full spectrum of learning experiences necessary for self-perfection, which would be returning to the One, or the Octave, a full reunion with God. It is then fascinating to see that these 22 can be likened to three ³scales³ of seven, (7 x 3 = 21,) with the 22nd archetype, the Fool, existing outside of the others as a separate card. This peculiar character of the Fool is constantly referred to in books on the Tarot; the Fool in and of itself stands separate from the rest of the deck. We can then take The Fool as representing an archetype of the starting point for all three levels given, as the One will always be the same, never divided. Thus, if we apply the Fool, as the One, to the beginning of each set of seven, we get 8 x 3, or Ramanujanís mystical number of 24. (However, Ra did say that there isnít an exact one-to-one relationship between the archetypes and the densities.) The definition of the Fool is interesting, in that it depicts a man walking forward at the edge of a cliff, with a stick that has a small purse at the end of it, which is balanced over his shoulder. He looks to the sky and holds a flower in his other hand, apparently walking totally unaware of the cliff he stands in front of, while a white dog barks incessantly at him, trying to warn him of the danger. The purse is supposed to represent the stored up knowledge of universal memory, which he carries with him. A quote from Sidney and Bennettís book on the Tarot reads, ³It is said that the Fool ³possesses the foolishness of God, which is greater than the wisdom of men.³³ What exactly is the Fool telling us? Why would a full consciousness of God lead us to being so haphazard in the care for our own lives? This is only the outer meaning of the archetype. The deeper meaning is that the Fool knows that he can trust God completely, and thus he does not perceive any obstacles as actually existing in reality. The dog would represent our lower, more animal natures, which bark out in anger at the slightest thought of our having this blind trust, fully seeing the pitfalls and dangers lying ahead. But the Fool, in his or her love for the One, simply has complete faith. It could well be stated, then, that for anyone to fully attain this wisdom in the material plane, they would be so obviously out of place as to appear a fool, moron or idiot. Yet, time and time again, this unwavering faith proves itself to be of the highest caliber. We are reminded of the Biblical story about how Jesus and his disciples are out on a boat in the sea, and a horrible storm comes up, which scares the men so badly that they beg Jesus to wake up and deal with it. Jesus, rising from his slumber and probably grumbling to himself, walks out to the edge of the boat, sleepily raises his hands and releases powerful torsion fields that promptly dissipate the storm. He then chastises his apostles, saying that they have no faith. Indeed, as we continue to explore the true multidimensional nature behind the Great Cycle that is now ending, and explore how some of the ³Earth Change³ events surrounding it are fraught with catastrophe and disaster, it is helpful to be able to trust in the fact that the positive aspect known as ³Ascension³ will really occur as the end product of all of this. If we do not have the faith, then we will never know if our opinions of ³doom³ were right until the event has already passed. Apparently, there will be more than one opportunity to Ascend over the course of a relatively brief period of time, but it is important to prepare ourselves for the first ³wave³, as it is often called. This is exactly what was promised to us by the highest spiritual forces ever to appear on Earth, and the promise will not go unfulfilled. On the physics level, it is a simple question of expanding our vibration to accommodate our movement into a higher density, which we already do every night in dreams. The only difference this time is that we will be going there to stay, because we have earned it, through our diligent personal growth process. Getting back to our discussion, it appears that each frequency in the octave is related to certain specific archetypes, which one must go through to fulfill our curriculum for returning to God, or the One, as perfected beings. Therefore, there would be certain emotional phases associated with the units that Seth is referring to, which would remain as constants throughout the universe. This helps us understand how aetheric energy can affect the personality, as in the science of astrology. The three cycles of seven archetypes correspond to the initiation of the mind, body and spirit, emphasizing our need to address all three areas equally in our spiritual growth process. Each area of our being represents a unique and separate challenge for integration, but these challenges do relate to each other as well. Thus, choosing to eat a purified diet initiates the body, by making it more vital and healthy, and resisting its addictive, genetically based cravings. However, the diet also initiates the mind, through the discipline of respectfully denying the Self the gratification that it constantly is begging for. The initiation of the Spirit comes through knowing that by performing this discipline, you are acting on behalf of Godís will, and in so doing, raising your vibratory level. You can probably tell that this is a simplified example, but it will do for now. Interestingly, the author has learned that the actual act of drawing the Tarot cards and having the reading be accurate will often involve the subconscious storage of ³consciousness units³ that correspond to the emotional energy of that particular archetype inside the card. Your subconscious mind, which can exert influence over the body, can tell you what card to pick just by getting a feeling as you pass your hand over it. Each card could then be likened to a little magnet, programmed with its own emotional charge, waiting to be renewed. The act of concentration while shuffling the cards puts the power of consciousness back into them, which reinvigorates the stored blueprints of energy patterns inside them. Then, after tuning into the cards in nothing more than a light to moderate trance, the reader can instinctively grab the card their Total Self is looking for ñ and thus the cycle is completed. Each Tarot reading spread has several cards, and invariably there are certain positions that are for the future. Thus, the Total Self, influencing the subtle act of drawing cards, can tell the reader what the strongest future probabilities are in the present term. This ingenuous system is actually behind the vast majority of self-declared ³psychics³ who do these readings for people, and in the hands of an attuned person who already understands and practices the spiritual growth curriculum indicated in the cards, much great work can be done. The only time required to be in trance is when the cards themselves are drawn, and sheer analysis will easily produce the answers after that point. One time, someone told Wilcock that the Tarot cards were evil. He responded by saying that if a person uses the English language to speak evil things, does that then mean that the English language is evil? Certainly not. Knowing what we now do about the structure of the densities, and that it is a growth curriculum that we can actually complete on Earth, we can easily see the Tarot cards as a sort of alphabet of the collective consciousness that gives rise to our universe. The discussion of ³consciousness units³ also gives credence to the claims of psychometrists, those people who can pick up a personal item of an unknown person and uncover what types of emotions that person is feeling. Wilcock himself did this after reading about it in high school, and obtained some very interesting results. This ability can also be used to find lost objects, calling out to the energy that is already stored in the object to bring about its return. At one point, Wilcock had lost his high school ring for many months, and after strongly visualizing its return, it was promptly found under the heat by his mother within two days. His mother had no idea that he had lost the ring or wished for its return. It could well be that he magnetized the energy stored inside the ring, turning it into a signal beacon which then influenced his motherís subconscious to clean in that particular spot. This is, essentially, the process of creative visualization, or the idea, originally coined by Seth and by far his most famous quote, which has now become a New Age clichÈ but nevertheless is still very accurate: ³You create your own reality.³ All objects are essentially nothing more than thought forms. In other works, Seth repeatedly indicates that the body, and in fact all matter, is constantly turning on and off, or pulsating through the different dimensions. Each consciousness unit must cycle through all of the densities in the octave constantly, at tremendous speed, even though it remains ³focused³ in one density most strongly. What this proves is that there really is no such thing as a separate density: in one sense, they are all blending directly into each other constantly. What is so fascinating about this is the idea that it is our perceptions, our thoughts, which hold together the level of reality that we are on. Thus, our current bodies and minds are creating our world each moment, by allowing us to only focus on third-density. Yet, were we able to alter our focus to perceive fourth-density, then we would only perceive that realm. Our physical bodies would still exist in third-density, as that part of ourselves is focused there and belongs there, for now. In order to fully enter into a higher plane, we have to do it in a body that is essentially less physical, and more of a direct form of conscious energy. In fact, the Hindu cosmology associates the seven chakras with seven different energy bodies, and thus in a sense we have seven different bodies, of which we could use those above the third density for travel in higher realms. This is essentially what happens when we have a dream or an out of body experience. We leave our physical bodies where they belong in the third density, and use a higher form of body that is only conscious of those times when the geometric energy is focused in the realm of the cube, for example. In the series of books by Carlos Castenada about his workings as an anthropology graduate student with a Yaqui Indian from the Sonora Desert in Mexico, named Don Juan, we see this same point emerge. Don Juan was a shaman, a man who had free access to these higher dimensions. His method for entering into these higher realms is, interestingly, very close to what we are saying here. What Don Juan said you must do to enter these worlds is to stop your mind from all conscious thought. At first this seems only able to be done by the most intense Eastern gurus, after years of practice and meditation. This practice was referred to by the shamans as ³Stopping the World.³ Don Juan explained that we have different ³rings of power³ that we use to create the world that is around us, and that if we can stop thinking about physical reality, we will no longer be conscious within it, and our consciousness will move to higher levels. This process would basically be akin to stopping yourself from having any thoughts. Most importantly, in doing so you quite naturally get very close to falling asleep. Indeed, the whole key is not to fall asleep while doing this. In order to short-circuit the process, Carlos Castenada went through a brutal initiation using hardcore psychedelic compounds discovered by the shamans, such as peyote, psilocybin mushrooms and Jimson weed. Don Juan would use these compounds to guide Carlos through an initiation into these higher worlds, with the idea that eventually the compounds would no longer be necessary for the access. Carlos was especially resilient to his training and thus he ³tripped out³ many times before he got the message. The author would like to state at this point that in Nature of Personal Reality, Seth makes it very clear that the ingestion of LSD can be of significant and long-lasting harm to the individual. Seth states that the whole personality structure is essentially shattered into many different scattered pieces in such an experience, pieces that must then be identified and reconstructed anew. Thus, despite the fact that Castenadaís initiation took on such a form, the use of any chemical substances of any kind for opening up ³the doors of perception³ is strongly contra-indicated by the author. You can indeed get the doors open with drugs, but it is dangerous and damaging, and does not represent ³spiritual growth.³ On the other hand, the rising frequency of aetheric energy surrounding us is now strong enough that these states may be accessed with ease in a good, solid meditation. Doing ³the real work³ is by far the preferred method ñ and the ³binaural synchronization³ techniques of the Monroe Institute represent a drugless way to induce out-of-body and mystical experiences using the properties of sound. In the next chapter, we will shed further light on our discussion of these ³consciousness units² and their forces, by investigating another means by which these truths were being demonstrated to us ñ through the metaphor of the crop circle formations. http://ascension2000.com/ http://ascension2000.com/Shift-of-the-Ages/shift07.htm
