In your dreams, in your terms, you find your personal past appearing in the present, so in those terms the past of the species also occurs. (Long pause.) Future probabilities are worked out there also so that individually and en masse the species decides upon its probable future. There is a feeling, held by many, that a study of dream reality will lead you further away from the world you know. Instead, it would connect you with that world in most practical terms.
“It seems to be an easy natural state for me to take; I go into it ‘like a duck takes to water,’ I guess, but it’s difficult to explain. It’s a state in which hardly any resistance is encountered; answers are ‘just there.’ The only problem is in getting the information across to another person in terms of his or her vocabulary. I enjoy this particular ‘alteration of consciousness,’ although I don’t really recognize it as alien to my regular one; it’s just different. It’s an accelerated condition mixed with passivity, poised. If [our scientist’s] attitude had been critical, I probably wouldn’t have done as well, though.”
(I’ll finish the references to yesterday’s session by quoting the comments Seth made at the end of some material we’ve deleted from the 712th session in Section 4. A few weeks ago, through a magazine we subscribe to, Jane joined a science club. Now each month she receives a little kit to be assembled; this in turn is used to carry out the scientific experiment for the month. Seth: “Ruburt’s science kit is something picked up, in your terms, from another probability — in which he learned all there is to know about science as you know it. That is why he can enter into the reality of electrons so easily.”3
(And separately: Over the weekend Jane remarked more than once that “Unknown” Reality might prove to be so long that it could go into two volumes — a probable development I hardly took seriously. [Her statements turned out to be exactly prophetic, of course, as I noted five months later in the 741st session. Also see the beginning of the Introductory Notes for Volume 1.])
6. Perhaps I should have briefly discussed it in Volume 1, but ever since Seth originally gave his “Joe, Jane, Jim, and Bob” material (as I call it) in the 683rd session, I’ve wondered about possible connections between the probabilities described in that session and our own reality: How much of our species’ distorted, intuitive knowledge of those probable realities may appear as myth and oddity in our camouflage universe? [...]
(Continuing to trace such references back through the material, I’d like to direct the reader to several passages from the 683rd session for Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality; in them Seth contends with variations on the counterpart theme as they’re developed in certain other probable realities:)
