(Pause at 10:01.) This exercise is a mental and biological doorway that can expand both your concepts of yourself and reality. There may be instances in which it seems that little progress is made during the exercise itself. During the day, however, having made an important decision in one direction, you may begin to feel the reality of the opposite decision and its ramifications. The exercise may also result in a different kind of a dream, one that is recognized within the dream state, at least, as an introduction to a probable reality. You deal directly with future probabilities in the dream state in any case. (Pause.) For example, in a series of dreams you may try out various solutions to a given problem, and choose one of these.¹ That choice becomes your physical reality.

Until you have tried the exercise and become fully acquainted with it, you will not understand its effectiveness. You will know, for instance, when the remembered event and imagination intersect with another probability. Whether or not you have any great success, the exercise will begin a neurological reorientation that will be most important if you hope to glimpse realities that are outside of your present neurologically accepted sense-reality.

(In chapters 3 and 12 of Personal Reality, I inserted notes describing how Jane and I had seen geese during their migrations south, then north, respectively, in 1972 and 1973. Now that truly sublime and mysterious phenomenon was upon us again — and if anything we found it more meaningful than ever. For myself, I made intuitive connections between the regular travels of the geese and our own work rhythms in producing the Seth books.

(I’d never seen so many in one flock, or gaggle, before. A certain number of birds shuttled back and forth within the formation at any one moment, changing their positions for reasons unknown to us, “talking” all the while. Once again, I found great reassurance in watching the spectacle of their flight. Those birds, I thought, knew where they were going — they knew what they were doing, in ways man could barely comprehend. I followed the formation until it disappeared in the mists and trees on the horizon.

She quotes Seth on dreams in Chapter 14 of The Seth Material, and to some extent he discusses them directly in Seth Speaks and Personal Reality. However, we’ve accumulated quite a bit of unpublished Seth material on dreams, and I’ll start looking for chances to insert some of those data in the rest of “Unknown” Reality.

YOUR MULTIDIMENSIONAL REALITY IN THE NOW OF YOUR BEING.

(Pause.) Separated from that — that is one heading — the next heading: “Your Multidimensional Reality in the Now of Your Being.”

But the dreams were what I wanted.

[...] Aside from the question of whether “evolution” in ordinary linear terms has been scientifically proven [concerning which point Jane and I have many reservations], we were drawn to the article because we thought its “factual” information might eventually supplement some of Seth’s material for “Unknown” Reality. [...]

[...] I hadn’t suggested that Seth come through, so we could see what she’d produce otherwise. [...]

[...] Her material, however, wasn’t influenced by the news story, for just about a year ago Seth-Jane delivered a session for Personal Reality on the mixing of animal and man: the 648th for March 14, 1973, in Chapter 12. [...]

1. One might say that Seth himself provided for Jane’s material here when, back in the 681st session, he talked about parallel events, alternate realities, and probable selves and worlds.
