The Personal Sessions, book 2

The Deleted Seth Material: December 8, 1971 - November 27, 1973

‍

WHAT A BOOK. It’s very difficult to cleanly summarize the breadth and depth of knowledge that Seth shares in his books, but I’ll try.

‍

This book covers a wide range of general interest topics in addition to the very personal information Seth provided for Jane and Robert about their relationship, their other lives, and Jane’s physical challenges.

‍

In this book Seth touches on (among many, many other things) the pyramids, Earth and human history, time and space, how the self-concept and one’s beliefs are what form our reality, the importance of dealing with negative feelings, the mechanics of healing, and in passing, the Tunguska event. In this book Seth also blew apart my understanding of what a final Earth life looks like.

‍

It’s my understanding that we live many lives here on Earth in preparation for further learning somewhere else, in a different kind of body. We do these lives on Earth because matter vibrates slowly here and time seems linear. Our soul spins off personalities as needed and each are mere slivers of the soul. We do that so we can learn how to use our thoughts and feelings to create reality in the dense and plodding sandbox of Earth before moving on to realms that are much more malleable to our whims.

‍

That’s beside the point I want to make, though, which is that all this time, I thought the final life here looked like Yogananda’s, Amma’s, Buddha’s or the Nearing’s. You know, saintly.

‍

But that isn’t true! Seth said that that was Jane’s final life on Earth, yet Jane was a flawed person. She resisted giving up old beliefs to take on new, healthier ones, she was emotionally constipated, had an all-or-nothing attitude, and a painful self-concept.

‍

In understanding that a person doesn’t need to present as a saint, my mind is opened to seeing people with new eyes. The Taoists (and the Evolutionary Astrologers) are correct: it’s about finding the middle way.

‍

About dealing with negative feelings, Seth shared that the best thing to do is get them out immediately. If stored, when they are finally released, they come out with a great deal more charge.

‍

Also, though we may assume (and are conditioned to think) that the people around us don’t want to hear those things, they do want and need to hear the concerns, fears, anger, dissent or whatever it is. Bringing negative feelings into the open allows them to dissolve.

‍

Any material not handled in normal conscious life, not grappled with, if it becomes overcharged or lasts over a period of time, will be unconsciously expressed. The more you handle your conscious beliefs and daily problems and relationships then, the healthier you will be in all areas, even if you do not solve the problems.

‍

It is when you give up facing them on a normal daily level that you abdicate your responsibility, so to speak. The belief that a given problem cannot be solved can cause much difficulty, unless you freely and consciously give it up; particularly when inner organs are affected, this point plays a strong part. A diseased organ that is then removed through an operation often represents an unfaced problem, or one that is considered beyond solving. It is then symbolically thrown away, you see.

‍

Since people only have so many organs to lose, that road can be dangerous indeed. Ruburt spread his physical problem around more, bodywise; in such a way, he thought he could endure longer, you see, rather than attacking a critical organ.

‍

["Rubert" is what Seth calls Jane.]

‍

Seth spoke a great deal about how Jane and Robert are seeking the middle ground between spontaneity and discipline; that in finding that balance, the individual gains access to a deep well of energy and inspiration.

‍

In speaking about the personality and other incarnations, he said...

‍

Tell Ruburt I said to think of these himself as simultaneous existences, and forget the word reincarnation if he wants. For that matter simultaneous existences is much closer to the truth of the matter. These personalities are alive in your now, as you are alive in them now. They are portions of your consciousness, your gestalt of being. They are individualized personalities. All of you draw your characteristics from the one entity that is the bank of your personality.

‍

About the pyramids, he said many very compelling things. This is one of them:

‍

The pyramids exist as other than physical matter, but it is only as physical matter that you perceive them. There are several important issues connected with the pyramids that are not as yet understood. The symbols upon them often were meant to be sounded, the sound setting up reverberations. Some of these would automatically open up many doors, leading to as yet undiscovered secrets—but only for those who understood the use of sound. The Egyptians then were also helped, and told how to construct the pyramids.

‍

About time and space, he said things that are difficult to wrap my head around. But heres’s one of the easier-to-understand comments:

‍

The ideas of space and time are constructed in different ways in various systems. In some they appear as natural phenomena, for example as various classifications of objects, in some as variations of sound or light. You find it exceedingly difficult to consider existence at all without space or time, yet basically consciousness is independent of both.

‍

The ideas of space and time emerge only when consciousness adopts camouflage, only when it becomes wedded, in other words, with a physical-type existence. Time and space are both creations of consciousness, in other words, and vehicles of its expression. Matter is a classification.

‍

As explained in my book, various levels of concentration can be used as platforms leading you out of focus, into other time schemes. Time is like color. You are merely focusing upon one hue.

‍

Is your mind blown? This is how Seth speaks. He’s a font of knowledge about all of the topics I’m curious about. I never get tired of reading his books!

‍

My material and books, and Ruburt’s, and your paintings, will affect the world as you know it.

‍

Indeed, the works of Seth are the underpining of the New Age movement. Everything that Echart Tolle writes in his books was said by Seth many decades earlier.

‍

Super duper recommended.
