Hi All, Just a quick comment about week 1, and Genpo Roshi's riffs on Big Mind. It's a great exercise to point out the simple ''always already'' Aspects of Being that are multiplexed in our awareness. Yes, Roshi's teachings are heavily colored by Buddhist imagery and belief systems, but with the advantage of Western depth psychology's ...

Starting tomorrow. <g>

Joe T: As a continuation of the above post, I’ll use the example of the subconscious now because it is greatly more accessible than the parts of ourselves which create our physical reality. In many ways, this would be seen to resemble the more easily observed interactions between atoms involving their electrons, (subconscious) versus the more ...

John Skingley: I'm thinking more than ever that our ongoing discussion about the 'parts' of ourselves is really boiling down to semantics. As soon as we start to think of ourselves in this way, the problem of exactly where the dividing lines are becomes a point of discussion, when, of course, the lines are completely arbitary in the first ...

Hi Paul, I'm thinking more than ever that our ongoing discussion about the 'parts' of ourselves is really boiling down to semantics. As soon as we start to think of ourselves in this way, the problem of exactly where the dividing lines are becomes a point of discussion, when, of course, the lines are completely arbitary in the first place. My car ...

John Skingley: Paul M. Helfrich: After 51 years in this physical focus, I can find no single causal element in my awareness, not my beliefs, my thoughts, feelings, emotions, expectations, dreams, impressions, impulses, body, DNA, genes, and on and on. TOGETHER, these elements conspire to create only the Framework 1 portions of my experience. As ...

Hi Joe & Anna, (Takes a deep breath, smiles....)  I-I-I create 100% of my reality. Seth and Elias have stated repeatedly (though that alone doesn't make it an Absolute Universal Truth) that ''there are no closed systems.'' I completely reject the notion that the outer ego alone creates 100% via thoughts alone or beliefs alone, it just ...

Hi All, I wanted to continue to explore something brought up in Joseph's previous topic before it got hijacked by a dyed in the wool Sethian fundamentalist who lost the privilege of posting on NWV yesterday. Some of us were discussing Seth's ontology or nature of being and I was pleased to find the opportunity to post a classic piece of the ...

Yes, I'd have to hear chapter and verse where Seth supposedly claims there NO precognition. That just doesn't jive with my recall or personal experience. Anna's on the right track in terms of applying what we know of Seth's ideas on probabilities and probable selves to Anu's dream and death.  Each focus personality (little ''I''), as an ...

Hi Janet, Thanks for the Seth quotes, I realize how much I've assimilated over the years and almost assume to be true. I believe that the changes in mass consciousness based on a ''religious'' or spiritual widening that Seth said would be done by 2075, and what Elias calls the shift in consciousness, indicate a trend toward more of the ...
