The Nature of Personal Reality- A Seth Book

[size=20].Soul

"Many individuals imagine the soul to be an immortalized ego, forgetting that the ego as you know it is only a small portion of the self; so this section of the personality is simply projected onward, ad infinitum, so to speak. Because the dimensions of your reality are so little understood, your concepts are bound to be limited. In considering “immortality,” mankind seems to hope for further egotistical development, and yet he objects to the idea that such development might involve change. He says through his religions that he has a soul indeed, without even asking what a soul is, and often he seems to regard it, again, as an object in his possession.

When you
are in a poor state of mind, you automatically affect the others you meet, negatively.
You then react to their behavior and complete the circle. Now this leads into a highly charged emotional environment, which is the cause of the depressions of which you have spoken.

When the peak is reached then self-pity controls your emotions so
completely that there seems to be no escape. In a mood of self-pity there is indeed an almost perverted luxury, the luxury of despair, for
despair says: There is nothing I can do, and relieves you of any responsibility for change.

This applies not to you only but to such a
state in general. You become incapable of getting out of yourself, even to the extent of enjoying small pleasures and, little by little it seems every joy is withdrawn from you until nothing is left but despair.
This is caused by the culmination of negative suggestions and of negative thought. They build up until you can take it no longer. In the
natural state of affairs, however, sooner or later, some highly charged positive suggestion then begins to clear the emotional air.

If permitted, here is a personal post about “applying” the Seth teachings.  

I’m 67 years presently (Young? Old? Whatever…), and in the last number of years have had some health issues ‘creep’ into my life.  In the last 6 months or so I have had a respiratory ‘challenge’ come into my life, and at times I could not run ¼ mile – I would be gasping for air.  In the middle of the night I would wake up from difficulty breathing, and was wheezing.  A spine surgeon friend recommended I ‘get it checked out’ by a doctor.  I considered that, and decided to do as I have done successfully for decades:  trust my body, trust life, use my Inner Being, my Inner Guidance, and ‘feel’ my way back to my natural state of well-being. I’ve also had a number of other physical issues, including a mysterious rash and skin-splitting-open on my hands, mysteriously coming and going, never leaving 100%. I use my hands directly, my passion of playing conga drums, something I love to do, so this was particularly challenging for me.  I’ve had other body ‘issues’ too.  

But lately I really ‘took to heart’ the passage I posted earlier today (an excerpt from NOPR, chapter 5, ‘The Constant Creation of The Physical Body’)and have been working with beliefs that are ‘in the way’ of the natural, inexhaustible  Stream of Well-Being that’s is constantly streaming to me (much better than Netflix, as it never goes down!)  

I have consciously reoriented my thinking about “going running” from being a fear-based victim with a victim’s powerlessness-based-‘hope’, to running being when I “exercise allowing the Stream”.  Seths simple and often repeated phrase of “You get what you concentrate upon - there is no other main rule” is in mind as I run – and before I stared to run.  Nowadays I don’t ‘go running’, but instead I go exercise my ability, my body’s ability to ‘recalibrate’, replenish, rejoice etc.  

Last night and this morning, I made the conscious decision to – as Seth urges – “seize control” of my life – my choice of thoughts, beliefs etc.

This morning I ran 3 miles – the first time I have run that far in at least a year.  It felt wonderful from the first step to the last.  I am playing conga regularly again, as my hands issue has been steadily clearing up.  My other ‘issues; have been diminishing.

I see and know that these improvements have been the direct result of my conscious decision to create a reality of natural effortless well-being, and leave victim thinking to fade into the distance, as I choose what my Inner Being and I agree on as the best feeling pathway of thinking.

I am SOOO grateful to have the Seth material in my life, enhancing my life experience in such wonderful ways!  And I am glad to have this Seth Facebook page to share the journey, including my stumbles, ‘failures’, warts and all, all of that helping to clarify what I really want, who I am choosing to be.  
Thanks for being partners and co-conspirators y’all.  
Love, Steve

  Seth: "To love someone, you must appreciate how that person differs from yourself and from others. You must hold that person in mind so that to some extent love is a kind of meditation — a loving focus upon another individual. Once you experience that kind of love you can translate it into other terms. The love itself spreads out, expands, so that you can then see others in love's light."

Here are some excerpts from NOPR, focusing on ‘feedback’, digging in it the concept of your body and your  world providing you with feedback:

“Your experience in the world of physical matter flows outward from the center of your inner psyche. Then you perceive this experience. Exterior events, circumstances and conditions are meant as a kind of living feedback. Altering the state of the psyche automatically alters the physical circumstances.
There is no other valid way of changing physical events. It might help if you imagine an inner living dimension within yourself in which you create, in miniature psychic form, all the exterior conditions that you know. Simply put, you do exactly this. Your thoughts, feelings and mental pictures can be called incipient exterior events, for in one way or another each of these is materialized into physical reality.
You change even the most permanent-seeming conditions of your life constantly through the varying attitudes you have toward them. There is nothing in your exterior experience that did not originate within you.
Interactions with others do occur, of course, yet there are none that you do not accept or draw to you by your thoughts, attitudes, or emotions. This applies in each area of life. In your terms, it applies both before life and after it. In the most miraculous fashion are you given the gift of creating your experience.
In this existence you are learning to handle the inexhaustible energy that is available to you. The mass condition of the world, and the situation of each individual in it, is the materialization of man’s progress as he forms his world”

Another Excerpt:
“Within the basic framework of the body chosen before physical birth (for reasons that will be discussed later), the individual has full freedom to create a perfectly healthy functioning form. The form is, however, a mirror of beliefs, and will accurately materialize in flesh those ideas held by the conscious mind.  
(Jane’s delivery was very serious, and somewhat loud. She leaned forward and tapped upon the coffee table between us, her eyes wide and dark.)
That is one of the body’s primary functions. A sick body is performing that function then, in its way, as well as a healthy one. It is your most intimate feedback system, changing with your thought and experience, giving you in flesh the physical counterpart of your thought. So it is futile to become angry at a symptom, or to deride the body for its condition when it is presenting you with the corporeal replica of your own thought, as it was meant to do.
Your environment and your experience in the physical world also provide you with the same kind of feedback. It is just as useless to berate your environment or your experience in it as it is to deride your body, for the same reasons.”

Final Excerpt:
“You are at the mercy of your emotions only when you fear them. They are the motion of your being. They go hand in hand with your intellect. But when you are unaware of the contents of your conscious mind, and not fair with your emotions, you run into difficulty.”

Excerpt From
The Nature of Personal Reality
Jane Roberts & Seth

..."The language of spirit transcends the limits of the mind, just as the language of quantum physics challenges those who struggle with the foundations of basic math. A true teacher speaks of that which they know, yet it is not said as absolute doctrine, for it functions more like a lighthouse, as a guiding light for those ships that are lost in the dark and cannot see. A wise teacher speaks of the path, but does not give absolute answers, for true wisdom arises only through living direct experience. As they say, when the student is ready the teacher will appear, for it is only when we are silent, does the everyday world reveal its true mystery like a mirror. And it is through engaging this mystery that we reach self discovery, for truth is never found by looking at the words of another. IT is only found by reaching for the words that have never been told, and this takes going beyond the limits of ego. For in the end, it is still you that has to steer your ship, if you leave it unattended, your fate only ends up shipwrecked! Success, money, and pleasure are all the keys to failure, for they are only the fools quest for seeking permanence in a impermanent world. Society has kept us blindfolded and fooled, searching for a future treasure that can never be found, when all along we have all possessed the treasure within...and that is the power to co-create, which is more valuable then all the gold in the world! For it is the one who transcends the fears and attachments of the mind, that discovers what it means to truly be alive, a life without carrying inner suffering within the mind, heart, and spirit. As the wise one realizes that today is eternal, the ever-changing flow of Universal currents, for today we are not who we where yesterday, nor who we will be the same tomorrow, and it is through our non-clinging of self that we discover the ability to co-create life in our daily reality!" ~DMT/Alistar Valadez...
