(Back to the present: “Oh — he comes forward, then retreats, oscillating real fast. But in some way the Seth thing in this is in the background. Now he’s turning around, this miniature Seth. He’s walking away, out of the chute and into this great big Seth who’s like a statue.
(“Then in the eyes of this Seth there are two little Seths looking out. Both of these images are like your portrait. Now they climb out of the eyes; with their bodies they make a garland around the big Seth’s head; they sit on it back-to-back like a pair of bookends.” Pause, eyes closed. “Wow — a whole bunch of these little Seths climb up on top of the giant head — but in perfect poses. They’re very stylized, but all real. And Seth will explain it,” Jane abruptly said, evidently quite surprised. “The little images face in all directions around the head of the big Seth. I know it’s not right, not a good analogy, but they’re like gargoyles on a steeple….

(After another pause: “Okay, I think we can have a session now. But until Seth said so, I didn’t know he’d explain any of this.”)

Each would be inherently aware of its own potentials and “background,” but each would tune in to a particular point of that so-called background.

Certain families have a liking for certain months of birth,4 but no specific rules apply. There is indeed an inner kind of order that unites all of these issues; yet that inner order is not the result of laws, but of spontaneous creation, which flows into its own kinds of patterns. You see the patterns at any given time and try to make laws of them.

(Jane’s rather intent delivery had slowed noticeably during the last 10 minutes. “Boy,” she said, “I was getting stuff toward the end that neither of us — Seth or me — could verbalize. There wasn’t anything in my thought patterns that he could make words out of to express what he wanted to say. I vaguely felt it, but it was pretty alien to my psychological experience.” At the moment, at least, I couldn’t recall hearing her voice such ideas just that way before in the sessions.6
(Then: “Wait — I’m starting to get something on it,” Jane suddenly said. “He’s found something in my thought patterns he can use …” She sat with her head down. “I’m getting a whole lot of stuff now. I’m embarrassed to say it,” she laughed, “but I’ve got the feeling that if I rubbed right here between my eyes — you know, the third eye thing — I could get a lot more information….”7

Beneath that perceived reality, however, each finite self, carried to its degree, is itself infinite. Now here is one for the books (with amusement): but there are different kinds of infinities. There are different varieties of psychological infinities that do not meet — that is, that go off in their own infinite directions.

There are infinite versions of yourself, but no one negates the others, and each is connected with the others, and aids and supports them. There are other quite legitimate numerical systems that you do not follow. There are other kinds of psychological organizations also. In those terms Ruburt has learned, or rather Ruburt is learning, to alternate a series — to bring information from one [neurological series] to another, so to speak.

(10:36. “Wow,” Jane exclaimed as she emerged from her short but excellent delivery. “Before the session I didn’t feel a thing. I was just sort of happily dopey — no ideas at all. But I really clicked in before this break. Seth finally found something he could use to make analogies. I wasn’t aware of traffic noise or anything else … The whole thing surprises me: Look what I’d have missed if I’d decided not to have a session. And I didn’t know Seth was going to explain those visions until I got that flash from him just before he came through. I have the feeling that inside that experience I traveled a great distance….”

(Jane and I do not ascribe the elements making up our house adventures to that old catchall, “coincidence,” of course; at the same time we have no plans to statistically attempt anything with them either. So many variables are present that a separate analysis would be required for each individual involved — with “boundaries,” say, set as to the number of items to be considered in each case. Then what about temporal boundaries? Truly, for myself the whole house thing had its origins in my early childhood, over half a century ago. But Jane, being younger, would designate quite different limitations in time….

Pretend that you are very tiny, and moving slowly about the tree so that you see only one light at a time. It appears that one light exists before the other, then, and each one is so brilliant to your focus that it blots out the lights before and after it. You may have a dim memory of the light you “saw” before, however, and so you think: “Aha, the bulb I see is my life, but I’m sure that long ago I had a different life — and perhaps another one lies ahead of me.” But unless you step far back from the tree you will not realize that the entire string of lights exists at once. Nor will you understand that when one light goes out in a strand it appears somewhere else on the tree in another strand.
If you were still tinier, then any given bulb itself might seem to emit not a steady light at all, but a series of waves, and you might identify your life with any given wave, so that great distance might be perceived between one wave and the next.12

(“A singular ‘its’ but a plural ‘infinities’?” I asked. Jane, as Seth, nodded in agreement.)
[... 1 paragraph ...]
This is not necessarily the best analogy, but I wanted to make the point that various scales of awareness contain their own infinities, no matter how finite they may appear to be.

6. But in appendixes 4 and 5 for Volume 1, see Jane’s own material on other-than-usual neurological pulses, or speeds. Seth examined our neurological pulses — and habits — at 12:19 in Session 686.

And: “It’s significant that we apply numbers to time, but as there are unrecognized spaces between numbers, there are unrecognized spaces (psychologically invisible) between or within moments, and some of the events of our bodies are ‘too small’ for us to follow, focused as we are in our prime series. These body events actually are ‘infinitesimal but infinite,’ following their own patterns that merge with ours.”

11. This house connection is a good example of the kind that’s not only made up of a number of related elements, but extends over a longer period of time. Because of those combined attributes, I’m adding this note to the (740th) session in October 1975, six months after Seth finished dictating Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality. All names have been changed.
