SESSION 727

(Jane held her last session for “Unknown” Reality three weeks ago. She came through with a private session two days later, on December 18, and we’ve been resting from psychic work — including ESP class — since then. All the time, we were unaware that Seth had finished Section 5.

(Pause.) So the islands that I spoke about in our last session rose up from beneath the sea. Even as the dialogue of those islands took place, the islands themselves were changing. In somewhat the same way the psyche sends up counterparts of itself, each with different features or characteristics. As the physical properties of the earth distribute themselves in a certain given fashion about the surface of the planet, so do the properties of the earth-tuned psyches distribute themselves. Period.

(Actually, this was the end of book dictation for the evening. After giving half a page of information about another matter, Seth closed out the session at 11:12 P.M.)

NOTES: SESSION 727

1. For Seth on the fetus — its astral and reincarnational attributes, its energy, its growth, its perceptions from inside the womb — see the quotations from sessions 503–4 in the Appendix for The Seth Material. Those sessions were held in September 1969.

2. See the 683rd session in Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality. As Seth told us: “All kinds of time — backward and forward — emerge from the basic unpredictable nature of consciousness, and are due to ‘series’ of significances … Memory operates backward and forward in time.”

In Appendix 12 and its notes there are a number of passages from Seth (as well as a few of my own) that supplement his remarks, in this 727th session, on present form responding to a future time. See, for instance, the quotations from the 690th session in Volume l; Seth discussed the ability of our species to precognitively alter the present from the future. Molecular biology and precognition are also referred to. Then see Note 17 for Appendix 12, wherein biological precognition and the cellular manipulation of probabilities are mentioned.

Other related material on reprogramming the past can be found in Chapter 14 of Personal Reality; see sessions 653–55.

3. In the 684th session for Volume 1, Seth came through with one of my favorite statements (even if it is grammatically incorrect): “The cells precognate.” Much of his material in that session applies here: “It is truer to say that heredity operates from the future backward into the past….”

At 10:48 in the 705th session for Volume 2, see Seth’s remarks on introducing “new” genetic information into a damaged cell; a time-reversal principle is involved.

4. I suggest reviewing Seth’s excellent material on probabilities, cellular consciousness, the moment point, and related concepts in the 681st session for Volume 1.

5. Seth delivered much material on language in the 723rd session. Also see Note 4 for the same session.

7. Seth’s material on trees reminded me of his 18th session for January 22, 1964. It made a lasting impression upon me. It’s full of evocative statements that were new to us at the time, since the sessions were barely underway: “As to Jane’s feeling about trees having [a certain kind of] consciousness, of course this is the case … The tree is dissociated in one manner. It is in a state of drowsiness on the one hand, and on the other it focuses the usable portion of its energy into being a tree.

Jane knows she wrote the following poem early in 1964, but isn’t sure whether she did so before or after delivering the 18th session for Seth. As far as I’m concerned, at least, it hardly matters which came first; I like the poem as much as I do the session.

One might say that Seth continued his own tree data almost five years later, in the 453rd session for December 4, 1968. Jane presented that rather brief session in full in the Appendix for The Seth Material, but from it I’d like to quote these lines:

8. See Seth’s first delivery for the 712th session, with notes 1, 2, and 4, among others.

One of the Roman soldiers, Maumee, and Nebene are mentioned in Appendix 21; see the excerpts there from the private session for November 18, 1974, as well as Note 1. Then see the comments Seth made the next evening in ESP class: “There are, of course, future memories as well as past ones … As Joseph often says: ‘When you think of reincarnation, you do so in terms of past lives.’ You are afraid to consider future lives because then you have to face the death that must be met first, in your terms. And so you never think of future lives, or how you might benefit from knowing them….”
