At the end of the 19th century, Dr. Albert Abrams in San Francisco, a quite wealthy man, traveled to Europe for advanced medical studies. During that trip he watched the famous Italian tenor Enrico Caruso tap a glass to produce a pure tone, then sing the same note to shatter the glass. This led him to the idea that sound frequencies might be applied to medical conditions. This led over the years to a sequence of dramatic discoveries which resulted in his creating an electronic device that could send out frequencies which matched the tone frequency of a disease, and in the process cure the disease. Many people were treated successfully via his machines. After her death the spirit of Betty White (early episodes) explained to her husband in 1939 that everything in the material world has its own frequency, and that matter was "an arrested frequency," slowed down from the spirit world for our dense material world. The entity Seth in the 1960s and 70s explained much the same thing.

This session continues the story of UKACO and their success in ridding crops of pests by projecting a photo of the field to be tested, along with a small sample of the pest treatment, which was also placed on the "collector plate" used for projectiing the photo. A highly place Pennsylvania agricultural official was convinced of the effectiveness of their strange process, but officials at the US Dept of Agriculture were not. Apparently they were afraid the same process could be used to kill humans in a war. Despite the solid evidence of its success, they declared the process was a fraud and eventually the company was forced to close. The key takeaway here is that, in their patent application, UKACO pointed out that every material thing has its own unique frequency, a point emphasized by Betty White in 1939 after she died, while speaking to her husband through a medium (see the early episodes).

More than 70 years ago, three Princeton graduates with scientific/technical skills created a company named UKACO to kill crop pests without the use of insecticides. A tiny amount of poison, along with a photo of the field to be treated, was placed on a "collector plate" of their invention, which projected over the field the image of the field and poison. They were successful in reducing the number of insects harmful to the crops being treated, and so were farmers who learned how to use their equipment on a wide variety of crops. The theory was that the frequencies projected were the same frequency of the particular poison used. That would be consistent with the definition of matter as an "arrested frequency." Betty White in an early episode explained after her death that, for every material thing on earth, there is an individual frequency corresponding to its frequency outside the material plane, in the greater spirit world. The UKACO story, its successes and eventual demise, will be continued in the next episode.

Marcel Vogel's experiments with plants led him to learn that people can unite with plants, and that plants can have their feelings hurt by the thoughts of humans. They also react to talk about sex, and even to figments of our imagination. More important, they led Vogel to conclude that scientists need to unite with the object being studied in order to learn anything meaningful about the object. His experiments also demonstrated the immense power of focused thought. Many of his conclusions agree with statements made by the entity Seth.

Marcel Vogel, a noted reseach chemist working for IBM who made important contributions to the development of color TV and computer memory, became aware of Cleve Backster's experiments with plants. He decided to continue with further experiments using a lot of scientific equipment, and found that he could personally duplicate Backster's results wile others could not. This led to a further series of experiments which led Vogel to conclude that plants not only have emotions, but they also develop attachments to specific humans. The implications led him to further conclusions about the connectedness of everything and how matter is formed. His conclusions agree with the teachings of the entity Seth on these matters, teachings that were explained in detail in earlier episodes.

Starting in 1966, Cleve Backster, the country's foremost lie-detector examiner, began a series of scientific experiments that proved plants are not only conscious, but can perceive what a human is thinking, and even know ahead of time a person's intentions, as to whether that person intende to carrry out an action or not. This led to several other experiments by him and other scientists which not only confirmed Backster's initial findings, but also demonstrated that plants can communicate instantly over great distances, that their awareness extended down to the sub-atomic level, and they have other capabilities that humans apparently do not. This episode relates Backster's conclusions and theories that agree with what the entity Seth and other "dead spirits" have told us, and what quantum physicists had concluded as far back as the 1950s. The implications are that to continue advancing as it has in the past, our science needs to start uniting with the subject being studied, rather than separating from it.

Scientific instruments are useful only in measuring the level of reality in which they themselves exist. For studying the deeper realities that support this reality, within and behind it so to speak, they are useless. The basic problem is that our scientists think they can learn about the nature of something by separating from it and studying it as something apart from themselves. True science requires joining and identifying with whatever is being studied. That applies to any visible or invisible manifestation of consciouness. Past civilizations have understood this and made advances in studying the universe that we have not yet made. Subsequent episodes will give examples of the limits of our science in one very important field - agriculture. They will be taken largely from the 1972 best seller, "The Secret Life of Plants."

The outside world we experience each day is created by us from the inside. While the outside world is an illusion we co-create, it a meaningful illusion with a purpose, one we can learn and grow from spiritually. The problem with our scientific method when we think we can learn something by separating from it and destroying it, then dissecting it, is that this method never comes close to helping us understand the true nature of reality. We will do that only when we learn to use our consciousness in such a way that we can identify with whatever is being studied, and "feel" the true reality. Einstein is the scientist who came closest to using this method. He "leaned against time" and felt it wobble.

Dream reality seems so strange to us because a dream is like one photo taken out of our entire life. Just as one photo would not come close to describing our entire life, so one dream would not explain the total reality of the dream world. The dream world is real independent of our waking reality, and it is very important in determining our future. In dreams we experience various probable realities and choose one to materialize in our waking reality.

The blueprints for reality encoded in our cells are invisible to us because we've forgotten about their existence. But our global situation as a human race requires that we develop some "ancient arts," one of which is lucid dreaming, or becoming consciously aware while we're dreaming. Our cells are affected by our dreams, so that physical healings can take place in the dream state. If we can become more aware of our dreams, we'll also become more aware of the probable realities from which we choose to make one of them our daily experienced reality. We have conditioned ourselves to think of dreams as largely disconnected from our waking life, but this is incorrect and needless. The dream world is a by-product of the relationship between our inner self and our physical self. It is a necessity for the continued existence of us physical beings. We are not aware that all consciousnesses dream, even atoms and molecules, leading to the astounding conclusion that any consciousnesss involved in physical reality, dreams. That includes animals, trees, plants, etc. By virtue of participating in the creation of the physical world, any consciousness automatically participates in the creation of a dream world.

Our current global dilemmas seem so desperate only because "we've gone about as far as we can go" with our current ideas about the nature of ourselves, our reality and our limits. The dilemmas are meant to act as stimuli to enable us to expand those ideas. Just as cells in a physical body all cooperate to keep the body functioning well, so we as individual humans need to cooperate in the same manner the cells do, to bring about the idealization of our own greatest fulfillment as a human race. There is already an internal biological connection among all members of the species, via our cells, and we need to bring that connection into the experience of our everyday reality so that all members of the human race can flourish. We'll be able to do that as we become aware of the vast bank of probabilities from which we can choose, to consciously focus on the one that will lead to our greatest fulfillment.

This session begins with a discussion of our cells not only being conscious on their own, but also their desire to reach their own best possible fulfillment. Then the discussion turns to thoughts, which seek their own fulfillment, and how our thoughts alter every cell in our bodies. Thoughts must have a "rich bank of probabilities" to choose from, in order for us to have the freedom to experience the reality of our choosing, among all the probable realities we could "make real" for ourselves. Often, though we are not consciously aware of it, the decisions we make and the actions we take are significantly influenced by other probable selves and the probable realities within which they have their experience. We are far more aware of probable futures than we realize. If our purposes do not involve experiencing particular probable experiences, such as illness or war for example, we will not experience them.

In this first episode of 2024, the announcement was made that the listener can now access the early episodes. Previously you could access only the most recent 25. It is important to hear the early episodes where the evidence is presented to establish the validity of what follows. For those who inquired about Dan McAneny's books, you can go to the Preview of the podcast where, at the bottom, the link to all his books is listed. It is amazon.com/author/danmcaneny. The books are briefly summarized in this episode.  There follows a review of what has been covered to date since the podcast started. The primary personalities mentioned in early episodes who provide evidence of life after death are described, followed by a discussion of the spirit entity Seth authored by Jane Roberts. A half dozen of the basic concepts he introduced are briefly described. 

Every probability system has its own set of blueprints for realizing its most favorable version. Theses are not "images of perfection" cast in stone that cannot be changed. Rather, they are working models that can be changed with circumstances. They are the realization of ideas, or "idealizations." They exist biologically, psychically, mentally, spiritually, apart from our world but also inside it. The physical structures, the genes and chromosomes, are in fact carriers of information. The role of the human race is not merely to try to create these ideas in the physical world, but rather, to take part in their creation, which we do as who we really are, not just "focus personalities," but as our Soul, Big Self, or Psyche, whatever term you wish to use. At our Soul level, we plant these ideals in the hearts of us "focus personalities," at various points in the time scheme in which we are focused. So as who we really are, we co-create the realities we experience. We are as much "God-stuff" as earth-stuff, but so far we have largely put the idea of God outside of ourselves. We will "eventually" come to realize our true nature as part of God, and throw off the limits we currently impose on ourselves.

This session uses a Seth analogy to explain that times are in many ways just like places, and we can travel through them just as we travel through space. Who we really are is not just the one focus personality we know as ourselves, but rather, we are our Big Self, Soul, Psyche, whatever you wish to call it, expressing itself in our earth experience. That Self who we are is so vast in potential and capabilities that it cannot be expressed in just one time and place in one human personality. Rather, so vast is its scope that it needs infinite possibilities to be expressed. We as focus personalities help our Big Self to know itself by choosing to express some events, emotions and thoughts, and not others. Just as we are vast consciousness units, so the human species we are are part of also needs infinite expression. Imagine the vast scope of all the realities that our human species experiences. They all exist "right now."

Each of us as individuals, and collectively all of us as a species, are continually impacted by probable selves and their experiences. The one focus personality we present to the world is far more multidimensional than it appears. All probable selves are connected, but each has its own free will and uniqueness. All of the powers, abilities and charcteristics inherent in the species are inherent in any individual member of it. (You can think about that in positive or negative terms, since each of us can choose to focus on what we wish to experience.) We accept as real our shared mass history as a species as we know it, but there are many probable histories we are not aware of, and they are just as valid as the one we accept as our official mass history. This episode includes practice sessions suggested by the entity Seth to help us become more aware of probabilities and their effects upon us.

In this session a number of complex ideas are presented, hopefully made understandable by Seth's examples. Briefly, probable events continually interact, and by choosing to bring one probability into our existence, and ignoring all the others, we make one seemingly stable, constant reality the one we experience. EE units, however, and atoms, molecules and cells, are aware of these other ignored probabilities, and our bodies exist as they do only because they (atoms, cells, etc.) are appearing at a certain point of probabilities. At other levels our bodies exist differently. The integrity of our bodies therefore comes from outside our system into it, based on which of these probabilities we choose to focus on. As individuals and cultures, we choose to bring into significance certain probabilities and ignore others. Scientific discoveries are the recognition of a new kind of significance previously ignored but already existing. Our time structure is also tied into our method of significance-making, so we experience events according to time, though they all exist "at once." The reality we experience is based on focus, not cause and effect.

Because the existence of probabilities is so important and fundamental to any understanding of the larger underlying realities supporting the one we recognize, this episode presents Seth's description of how probabilities work in our daily lives, even though we are unaware of it, attributing many events instead to "coincidence." This particular example involves the real estate search by Jane's husband Rob, and the influences of his mother, who at that time had died a number of years ago.

When Jane Roberts' husband, Rob, awoke one day and realized he could recall parts of two dreams smultaneously, he spoke with others who had a greater ability to do this than he had. The entity Seth explained Rob's experience in terms of the experience of his "Big Self," who is aware of the experience of all it "parts." This led to a discussion of how we need to keep our limited notions of who we really are at the same time that we gradually become aware of the greater dimensions of our own being. As we do become aware of those greater dimensions, we will also begin to experience our connectedness to all parts of reality, but this will enhance, not threaten, our individuality, the self that we know ourselves to be right now.

As you know from past episodes, and from my books, you and I are Focus Personalities, and the Big You, which might also be termed the Soul or Psyche, is a spirit who has many such Focus Personalities going on in various centuries, with varying characteristics. Those focused in our present are termed "Counterparts." With the horrors of war impressed on our senses each day, we have to ask ourselves, is there a Counterpart of ourselves who is involved in the Israeli-Hamas war, perhaps participating as a member of Hamas? This brief episode goes more deeply into the possibility and its implications for each of us. It touches on the connectedness of everyone living at the same time, on communicaton through the centuries, and on value fulfillment.

The precognitive abilities of consciousness units and cells provide us with precognitive abilities, and each of us has an idealized version of ourselves, an energy force, that propels us toward that version, consistent with the fulfillment of our values. All species have this same invisible energy force, including flora and fauna. In ancient times there were birds with high intelligence who saved human babies falling from cliffside dwellings, and the memory of them turned into angel images. Each human has such invisible energy forces, previously mentioned as an "inner self," that guides us toward a future idealized version of ourself, and which Seth likened to "earth gods." The conscious mind gives direction to all these forces by choosing to focus with intensity on one particular probability we wish to materialize and experience.

Seth emphasized that the human race has plans for itself based on its comprehensions of idealized probable future developments. The war that has just broken out in Israel is based on religious concepts where there are different notions of God. Seth makes the point that our god concepts change as our consciousness evolves. The religious concepts in turn affect the type of civilization we choose to experience. Martin Luther, he explains, is just as responsible for the USA as George Washington is, and because of Christ there was an England and an Industrial Revolution. In western civilization, he points out that the male aspects of our consciousness (and god concepts) had to be emphasized over the female in order for the developing ego to survive and prosper. That will change. Future religions will emphasize the freedom of man to develop and express ideas that emphasize cooperative aspects of consciousness, as opposed to conflict.

The consciousness units (CUs) that are the basic building blocks of our reality are aware of probable pasts and futures, which they experience as an all-encompassing Now. They are acquainted with all probable developments regardless of "time." They are aware of so much in their "freewheeling nature" that they make possible the transference of lessons learned from one species to another. Evolution as we understand it does not exist. Instead there are parallel developments outside of "time," and the CUs are aware of them, but do not experience them as past or future. Our thoughts and feelings are quite as real as the CUs and the cells, genes and chromosomes that make up all physical reality. Just like the CUs, our thoughts and feelings go out in all directions, and we have a precognitive awareness of our probable futures. That awareness helps to bring about the present we experience, as we focus with intensity on a particular future we wish to bring about. The important point to remember is, we are not limited by any of our pasts: by using our ability to focus intensely on what we wish to experience, we can make sure the future pulls more strongly than the past pushes.

Some popular and interesting TV programs currently speculate about whether ancient aliens visited our planet in ancient times and influenced mankind's development, so that ancient cultures revered them as gods. As insightful and interesting as those program are, there are two things the authors do not understand. First, outside of our earth experience, there is no time; and second, we are all "ancient aliens!" As spirits we visit the earth in various time periods as suits our purposes. Seth explains that 30 to 50 million years ago there were all sorts of experiments that consciousness took, materializing in all sorts of species that we are not aware of today. One example, mentioned in previous episodes, is that man-animals and animal-men existed along side our human ancestors. A key point is that our ideas of god develop as our awareness of our own unlimited nature develops, and all the gods and myths of various cultures are projections of mankind's level of awareness at a given time.

The biggest mass murderer in our civilization is Mao Zedong, who killed over 50 million Chinese during his 41-year reign as head of the Chinese Communist Party. How are we to think about that? You'll decide for yourself, but it's good to keep in mind when confronting that reality, that ours is a Human Time-Space Illusion, and the events we perceive with our 5 physical senses are just a tiny part of much bigger events, of which we are unaware. More important, it is good to remember that no one ever dies. They simply change form, from material to pure spirit. In that regard, it is helpful to understand the nature of Consciousness Units, which form all systems of reality in which they have their experience. They are aware of all existences they have been or will be a part of, and they know they are indestructible. Our cells are in a sense a physical universe surrounding a Consciousness Unit, and so they know that to die is to live, but in another form. Like the Consciousness Units which make them up, the souls of the 50 million murdered by Mao live in another form, and they have and will reflect on that miserable existence in whatever way suits their purposes during their journey.

While 99% of Seth's input is upifting and positive, there are some passages that describe a potentially negative development if we as a race choose one line of development and not another. In this session the focus is on Seth's warning, given 50 of our earth years ago, that we are at a stage of development where we need to become aware of far more realities than those we currently perceive, including past and future probabilities, or the race as we know it in this probability will not endure, though it might endure in other probabilities, and we as eternal spirits will of course endure. Included in the description of a potential negative probable existence is the notion of the "unconscious" rising up and becoming the source of all sorts of religious cults that war against one another. You are asked to consider what some of these cults might be preaching, since the host of these podcasts has trouble envisioning what they might be.

Seth explains that our will to bring about what we want is very powerful. This session is devoted to summarizing the story of James R. Doty and how he used the power of his will, combined with affirmations and visualizations, to gain entrance to medical school and the Neurosurgery Program at Walter Reed, against great odds, where many others were better qualified. It then recounts how he became a respected brain surgeon and a wealthy man, then lost all his wealth. This caused him to reflect on his beliefs and values, and he subsequently directed his life toward helping others around the globe. He recounted his story in the book "Into The Magic Shop," which many have called the most inspiring book they have ever read - gripping and an easy read.

In 1974 Seth suggested a project where Jane Roberts' class members would create a "city" at another level of reality. It was to be a psychic marketplace between worlds where ideas were exchanged, a place of psychic commerce, a pleasant environment with definite coordinates, a kind of "orbiting satellite" on the outskirts of our world. He then explained that initially, all worlds were created in just such a fashion. He then explained that thoughts, when they leave our minds, have their own validity and force, and follow their own laws and realities. A related concept is that any given object in one dimension has its own reality in another, so one thought can take on many forms. When we alter the focus of our consciousness, we change the reality that we experience. The episode ends with a song that came to me decades ago after first learning of these concepts.

The universe is not expanding as many scientists think it is. The universe cannot be measured in terms they think it can. The expansion is an illusion. The universe could be said to expand the way a dream or an idea does, not limited by time or space. It is well for us to remember that our present awareness is limited by the focus of our five physical senses. When we have reached the stage of advancement where we understand we are co-creators of what we experience by focusing with intensity, we will realize what we are experiencing is a real illusion created by ourselves, and we can create any illusion we wish. That applies to climate, wars, and any other material manifestation we perceive with our five senses.

Currently there is a lot of attention paid to space travel, UFOs, and life on other planets or beyond. Unfortunately, we are focused on traveling on the surface of space, rather than though it, as time/space travelers Joe McMoneagle and Bob Monroe have done. When we understand the things that the entity Seth explains here, and have developed abilities accordingly, we will be able to visit planets and experience not just their present, but their past and future as well. Instead of seeing a barren, rocky planet devoid of life, we might also experience its past or future where intelligent civilizations flourish. Just as healing energy can be sent vast distances instantaneously, without regard to time and space, so can we, as we increase our understanding of our Human Time-Space Illusion, "travel" instantaneously to other galaxies and universes. In some of the most distant by our current measurements, we are likely to encounter civilizations most like ours.

We seldom stop to think about whether, how, and to what extent our lives and thoughts are impacted by the experiences of other focus personalities who are part of the same Big You. Here Seth explains how you are frequently affected by the events and thoughts of other parts of your Big Self, using analogies to make the point. His example is entertaining and informative.

If you find yourself worrying about all the negative events in this probable world we're in, or worrying about your personal situation, remember, you are a Focus Personality, that part of your Bigger Self that is focused on our Human Time-Space Illusion, HTSI. Remember too that in HTSI all events just are - past, present, future and all probable events just are - and we can choose to focus on whatever event we want to make real in our experience. We can do that with our thoughts. Worrying is directed thought, and it is usually directed toward negative probabilities, increasing the chance that's what we'll experience. Chood instead to focus on the best possible outcome of whatever you're worrying about. Direct your thoughts, using affirmations and visualization if you like, to bring intensity to the electromagnetic reality of your thoughts, increasing their ability to attract the outcome you desire.

These are two questions that few of us have ever given much "thought" to, but the answers given to us by the Seth entity can make you realize they are key to knowing our consciousness is not trapped in our bodies.

As a primary energy gestalt of unimaginable power and creativity, God did not create just one planet or one universe when it freed all creation and allowed it to manifest with free will. Like the fireworks that continually explode to reveal still more fireworks in succeeding explosions, and like the electric grid where all parts are connected but we can still have a power outage in a small or a large part of it, God created many universes and many realities, some with material form and some with no form. It is important for us to begin to understand this because when we confine our beliefs to the earth being the center of creation, and God sending down His only Son to save us from ourselves, with some of us being saved and others condemned to eternal punishment, we profess a version of God and reality that makes little sense to many people today. The problem? They have no other belief system to turn to, so they become atheists and lose the positive values that Christianity and some other religions have provided. For many they welcome a reality where the State replaces God, and we have seen where that leads today in China and Russia. Understanding the true power and scope of God enables us to understand our own power to create what we experience and advance to becoming the eternal, powerful spirits we really are.

We all come in not as helpless babies, but with a lot of different types of talents. The moon and stars and planets we admire so much for their beauty are only illusions, but very useful ones. They are mental and psychic events, not physical, when perceived by more advanced spirits. We are not just our consciousness. It is one of our characteristics. As we continue to grow and advance, we'll be able to preceive things in various ways that aren't like what we experience now. Each emotion and thought has its own unique electromagnetic reality. Did you know that when you think of someone, you send out a counterpart of yourself? And did you know that your body is made of the same stuff as a stone, a head of lettuce and a bird? These are all things we seldom consider, but they are worth thinking about.

Current major social issues are considered here in light of the Big Picture Perspective. Reparations, racial divisions, interracial marriage and the worthiness or not of China under the Chinese Commuist Party are considered in light of the basics of what the Helpful Dead have told us. This includes the notion of the Big Self, focus personalities, choosing your parents while still a spirit, the Human Time-Space Illusion, probable selves and countries, free will and the Primal Dilemma, the Law of Attraction, focus vs. cause and effect, and the victim/victor choice.

The World Economic Forum, a powerful gathering of the "global elite," holds up China as an ideal model nation. Its CEO Klaus Schwab and Trudeau,the present ruler of Canada, recently spoke glowingly of China and what it stands for. China as we know it today is Communist, founded on Marxist ideals, and Marx insisted that any notion of God and the concept of the nuclear family were to be abolished. The World Health Organization considers the human race to be a blight upon the earth. All of these notions contradict what Seth has explained about the nature of God and the necessity of free will. The danger for those who do not accept the traditional notion of God and the reward/punishment model, is that they might accept the WEF/WHO version of reality instead. In this session an intellectually defensible alternative to that version is presented. It is Seth's explanation of God as a primary energy gestalt and what that implies for the importance, potential and free will of every human being - quite positive!

Seth often described civilizations not like ours. In this episode the focus is on a few of them, with implications for us you might think about. Consciousness has great leeway in how it expresses itself when connected with the flesh. There have been highly developed, sophisticated civilizations that we might consider backward, because their main orientation was mental and psychic, not physical as ours is. Other civilizations "hibernate" for centuries of our time, to reawaken when the time is right. There is also a discussion of how our bodies die many times before the "official death" we accept as real. Some civilizations think in terms of our lives as a day, as they "bridge the gap" with their awareness between our lives and deaths. This is similar to the way our Big Self, or Soul, is aware of all of its "focus personalities" in different time periods, and knows it lives despite our individual deaths. Importantly, each individual has the potential to expand his or her awareness to be aware of the lives of other focus personalities energized by the Big Self.

Consciousness differentiates itself via Code Systems that support alternate realities, but all of them are related. We have the latent capabilities to operate as others in alternate realities do. Some of them would appear to us as "Zombie Civilizations," where the main focus is on what we would call the dream world, while physical bodies are left to fend for themselves, where they are as agile as any animal. In still other realities, the inhabitants live much longer than we do, and in perfect health, because they do not saddle themselves with negative beliefs.

Here we read selected Seth comments on his environment, with emphasis on some of the similarities between that environment and ours. Topics include, among other things, that we are developing toward the same kind of existence he knows, and both environments are changing constantly, though we are less aware of it. He also discusses our mistaken notion of permanence, whether in structures or anything else. He explains there is no end to their environment, with only one simple, cozy universe in which to hide, and observes that at our level of development, we could not cope with such a multdimensional reality. He then explaind there are far more kinds of consciousness than there are physical forms, though anyone in any camouflage universe such as ours will have knowledge of the reality that exists in all camouflage realities. He shares how the dream state can enable us to understand other realities, and how use of our inner senses can enable us to experience our own reality from various perspectives, e.g., a room that seems smaller is smaller, and a tree that we perceive is not the same tree perceived by a bird or insect.

Since we will rely heavily on input from the entity Seth who spoke through Jane Roberts, it is helpful to understand the environment in which this spirit entity, a teacher, exists. The reality in which "he" and others of his teaching group exist, operate and experience is so different from ours by orders of magnitude, that we much stretch our imaginations to attempt to understand it. They have no attachment to form, for example, and can take on any form they wish. They have no permanent structures and can create what they want whenever they want. They do not communicate with words, but by more complex means. They have many personalities available to them for use when they instruct in various "camouflage realities" such as ours, and they can form other personalities when they wish, though these personalities are then free to go their own way. In this session you are asked to compare our reality to theirs, and to stretch your imagination about what we will become.

The Consciousness Units that are within all matter have a memory bank that would far surpass any computer's. They work with probabilities inside and outside the body, making numerous calculations and predictions before any of us could lift a finger or take one step. Your individual goals and the actions you take to achieve them, taking one probable action instead of another on a daily basis, affect the future experience of the entire human species. In dreams we experience what would happen if we choose one probability over another, and the next day we choose one and make that our acccepted reality. Collectively we all help form the accepted probability sequence of the following day. That applies to uneventful days as well as a day like 9/11. The past and future races of men and women impact to some extent what goes on in our mind today.

In Session 705 dictated in June 1974, the Seth entity started with a discussion of evolution, which expanded to include time, survival of the fittest, cooperation among the mineral, vegetable and animal kingdoms, consciousness forming matter, probabilities, the memory capabilities of atoms, molecules and cells, nuclear disaster, mutant life, reptilian men and women, the future development of our species being based largely on our personal beliefs, and how the cells' comprehension straddling time contributes to self-healing of humans.

Since future sesions will rely heavily on input from the Seth entity channeled by Jane Roberts, you the listener deserve to learn about the character, intellect and purposes of Jane Roberts in her own words, so you can judge for yourself whether she is someone whose input you can take seriously. The best way to do that is to hear her words as she wrote them in Chapter 1 of the book, "The God of Jane." In this session I will read that chapter word for word. In my opinion, based on these words and hundreds of other remarks Jane made before and after trance sessions over 20 years, I consider her a person of the highest calibre, with good intent and an exceptional intellect, who was also in many ways just like you and me. I choose to respect and consider valid the material she channeled for its own voluminous content, as well as for Jane's  forthright, objective and initially skeptical view of the Seth material. 

To get some kind of understanding about how we might create what we experience in the 3rd stage of our development, it is necessary to look at the role of ideas. Here we discuss that nothing material comes about without first having been an idea, and that ideas are more real than our material reality. Seth's explanation of how matter is formed from electromagnetic energy units (EEUs) is reviewed, as well as the power of our thoughts and emotions in giving those EEUs sufficient power to become matter. Then you are invited to share in the imaginative exploration of how you would use your power to create what you experience once you have the 3rd stage capabilities.

In our progress toward advancing as a human race, the 3rd step is understanding what we experience. This does not refer to what is known as the "law of attraction," which has been practiced by thousands. Rather it is the concept that we can physically materialize whatever we wish to experience, as Jesus did when he created the "loaves and fishes" to feed a large crowd. It is doubtful that many of us will have attained that ability in the next 55 or 60 years, and today we have no verifiable examples of any human having that ability. Nevertheless, there are writings that describe what our existence might be like when we attain that level of development, and those writings might serve as a blueprint for imagining how we might develop them. To even grasp this possibility, we need to revisit the basic root assumptions we spirits agree to when entering HTSI (Human Time-Space Illusion), and we need to carefully examine the role of ideas in constructing the reality we perceive.

In a recent session probable selves were discussed, but perhaps on too conceptual a level. Here we take a look at the entity Seth explaining to Jane (who channeled Seth) and her husband Rob how probable selves interacted in the lives of Rob's parents and in Jane's life. You are prompted to think of how your own probable selves might be interacting with you.

In this phase of the 2nd step, we'll not only travel routinely with our consciousness outside of our bodies, but we'll also interact with other realities. In some of them we'll be guided by intelligent species who are like guardian angels, intent on helping us advance. They will help us realize it does no good to focus on past instances where we acted in a way we now regret. Far better to focus on probabilities where we act in a way we're proud of. Events after all, they explain, just are. They are illusions meant to help us learn, so we might as well choose to focus on probable events that will help us advance. Bob Monroe's extensive travels with the "inspec" to various realities are summarized here and you are asked to imagine what kind of physical or non-physical reality you'd like to experience.

As discussed previously, the first step in reaching the 2075 reality is for many of us to routinely have out-of-body experiences. The first part of the 2nd step is to discover who we truly are. That includes probable selves, incarnational selves in other time periods, our inner self and Big Self. When we do discover them, the implications are enormous, and they are discussed here.

If by 2075 we are supposed to be aware that we are spirits who are aware of our much larger existence in many realities, how can we get there in just a little over 50 years? To many that would seem impossible, especially given the state of the world today. But it is possible, and the first step will be that many of us will realize we can travel with our consciousness outside of our body. When we do, we'll realize some or all of the 10 major benefits reported by over 16,000 people surveyed over 12 years by Bill Buhlman. Those benefits are astounding in many ways, and open up totally new frontiers of existence, as well as a certainty about who we really are. Those benefits and their implications are discussed here.
