Now, briefly last evening, in a chapter of my own book, we were discussing probabilities and I want you to understand a few points along these lines. First of all, I mentioned in our last class session that you are not tied to a neurosis from a past life, or because you set certain challenges for yourself in this life this does not mean that you cannot conquer them. But I also want you to know that your present thoughts, feelings and emotions not only affect you but affect your probable selves and yet ....

Each consciousness has its own responsibility for those thoughts and emotions and it accepts and originates. The personality in its entirety includes, therefore, probable selves of which you are presently unaware. This does nothing to negate the validity and integrity of the self that you know. The divisions are illusions and when you wake up to yourself, to your true self, then you are aware of these other portions of your personality.

(During break a discussion of personality and probable selves.

([Pete:] “Is each personality aware of itself and the other selves also, at the same time?”)

([Nadine:] “How can we tell these from past reincarnational selves?”)

Now I knew that sooner or later someone would bring up that bugaboo. And it has taken me some time to get the idea of probable realities to your heads, and I knew that someone at sometime would ask me about reincarnational selves and so I suppose it behooves me to try to give you an answer, and it is this.

You are presently within one system of reality, one probable reality, the reality that you now know and form physically. Now within that one reality you have reincarnational selves, they belong within the concept of that existence. All probable systems do not have reincarnational existences. Some do and some do not, so that these exist only here, as far as you are concerned for the moment.

And I know I am only going to confuse you but if you have probable selves then you know there are probable universes and probable earths and probable histories of your earth and you see what this is going to do to your concept of reincarnation as you now hold it. So within the system that you know, you also have probable reincarnational selves within those probable historical earths. Now this does nothing to deny the basic integrity nor validity of what you may prefer to call the soul. It simply means that the inner self also is far more creative, far richer, and far varied and much different than you originally supposed.

(To Joel) Now, I want our friend over here, our spontaneous friend, to grapple with the ideas of the soul and reincarnational probable selves.
