(Seth II:) The experiment continues. I ask those of you who are ready to follow with me as we have observed you then in your own way as you are able follow us. We are trying to not observe, as much as appreciate, the nature of your present existence; so those of you who are curious and willing about the nature of nonphysical reality then follow as far as you can, using the voice as a guideline into existence that has no reality in physical terms, that knows neither blood nor tissue, that knows not hand or finger or arm. Follow then beyond the knowledge of the flesh to those domains from which flesh was born and is born. Feel the kernel of your consciousness rise as one of your seeds, higher beyond the knowledge of seasons, beyond the feeling of your days or moments, beyond the relationships of blood, beyond all those kinships which you take for granted. To you on the way there will be an unbearable loneliness. You are so used to relating to the warm victory of flesh it will seem isolated. There is no physical being with whom then you can relate; and yet, beyond this and through the isolation is a point of light that is consciousness, that pulses with the power behind all the emotions that you know and that feeds them, that sends them sparkling and tumbling down into the reality that you know. A warmth that forms the very pulse of physical existence and yet is born from the devotion of our isolation; that is born from the creativity that is beyond flesh and bone, that forms fingers without feeling fingers, that forms seasons without knowing spring, that creates sand without knowing sand or ground, that creates the reality that you know without experiencing it, that forms fathers, sons and daughters and mothers without knowing what fathers and mothers and daughters and sons are, and yet from this devotion, from that creativity comes all that you know. And all of that also has been given to us for the energy that we have is not ours alone, nor are we the source of it; for it flows through us as it flows through you. The experiment then continues as it has continued, but you were not aware of it.

(To Joel.) I want to make a remark to you. Your image was an excellent one and in your terms it represents the characteristics of space as you might relate to it and also to those black pockets of which the physicists are speaking where all realities swooped into these, so to speak. But these are other dimensions of actuality where the reality that you know automatically is translated in different terms not, however, annihilated there as it seems, but translated.

Now you have all been experiencing, the regular student[s] to some degree, mobility of consciousness. You are learning to use the inner self as you learn to use arms and legs. And as we continue you will find yourselves in other levels of reality and able to manipulate within them. This is merely a beginning of courses in which you will become involved and you will meet your selves in those other levels of actuality as on several occasions you seem to meet yourselves in reincarnational situations in this room, so that you will be able to relate not only to the physical individual in this space and in this time and in this room, but also able to relate to other portions of your personality, in your terms, that existed in the past or will exist in the future. And understand you have done very little work along the lines of your future in those terms.

([Joel:] “Bette and I have had this thing going tonight that carries back from other weeks about the Indian problem, but there are some powerful things here, and it sure would be nice if you wanted to talk about that a little bit.”)

I will take care of Ruburt. He is a good friend of mine. I will comment on whatever you get, but the time has also come for you to meet each other, not only as the people you know yourselves to be here, but as the people that you also know you have been and to admit those recognitions that are beginning to flash across your consciousness.

You are playing games now, acting in plays that you call present times and you take your roles very seriously, but there are other dramas going on at the same time. And our Lady of Florence will become involved in some of these. And let us see some of those acted out and released and the energy that is hidden there used constructively.

I do bid you a fond good evening and I suggest that you pay particular attention not only to your dream periods but to your ordinary waking experience this week for clues as to your own reincarnational... (words lost)... and for clues also as to the nature of the experiment which is still continuing and whose nature you do not as yet completely understand. There should be an important class meeting at another level of reality and hopefully you will remember it. You will be asked questions. Examine the nature of the questions, and that is all that I will tell you.

And all those blessings that I have to give I do give you and those that I do not have to give you will have to find for yourselves, but the ways are always there for you to find your own additional resources, each of you in your own way.
