(10:25.) Such beings, with their multiple presents, may or may not be aware of your particular system. Their multiple present may or may not include it. You may be a part of their multiple present without even being aware of it. In much more limited terms your probable realities are multiple presents. (Long pause.) The image, for an analogy, of an e-y-e (spelled out) within an eye within an eye, endlessly repeated, may be useful here. End of that chapter.

Now the consciousness of such beings would also contain the consciousness of large numbers of probable selves and systems, experienced quite vividly and clearly as multiple presents. These multiple presents can be altered at any of an actual number of infinite points; infinity not existing in terms of one indefinite line, but in terms of numberless probabilities and possible combinations growing out of each act of consciousness.

[...] They understand the multiplicity that resides within the idea of single personhood. [...]

[...] In such a way the child actively participates in the consciousness of nature—and I am not speaking of an imaginative or symbolic participation alone, but of an awareness of the multiplicity within itself and of other creatures. [...]

[...] In a brief communication one afternoon I explained to him the similarity between multiple personalities and the various aspects of the personality as it appeared in the dreaming and trance states.

Nevertheless it is known that cases of legitimate multiple personality exist. [...]

[...] Here you have excellent examples that correspond to your dual or multiple personality thesis.

[...] These separate states of consciousness, these multiple levels of awareness, these seemingly unrelated personality aspects, are not unnatural artificial productions, brought about through hypnosis. [...]

Multiple vision leads me on

[...] See Note 2 for any other information on double dreams that I may assemble, as well as for an excerpt from the description Sue wrote [at my request] of a multiple-dream happening of her own.

[...] (See the material she wrote for the 594th session, in the Appendix of Seth Speaks. She also appears in Chapter 5 of Jane’s Adventures.) In the opening notes for this session I mentioned a multiple dream experience of Sue’s, and promised to present something here from her description of it. [...]

And this is the place to mention one of those happy analogies that I’m able to make occasionally (even though in this case it took me several months after I’d had my own little double dream to come up with the very obvious association) — for in our reality, the double or multiple dream happening offers at least a pale insight into the numerous lives that, according to Seth, our entity or whole self experiences simultaneously.

These multiple existences, however, are simultaneous and open-ended. [...]

[...] So are your multiple lives occurring as the immediate realization of your being in the natural extension of its many-faceted abilities.

[...] I told her I’d bought her a different brand name of liquid multiple vitamins. [...]

VARIOUS STAGES OF CONSCIOUSNESS,
SYMBOLISM, AND MULTIPLE FOCUS

The next chapter will be called: “Various Stages of Consciousness, Symbolism, and Multiple Focus.”

ALTERNATE PRESENTS AND MULTIPLE FOCUS

Now: We will resume dictation, and begin our next chapter to be called: “Alternate Presents and Multiple Focus.”

[...] I’d say that her own awareness of multiple channels has grown out of her initial sensing of the channels available from Seth, as described in the 616th session in Chapter 2 of Personal Reality; and that her material on neurological speeds is related to the observations of Jane that were noted by Sue Watkins in Seth Speaks; see the 594th session in the Appendix of that book. [...]

[...] There are, in fact, so many distorted ideas connected with the concept of reincarnation in general, that I think it far better to simply concentrate upon the idea of multiple existences. [...]

(The 364th session was held September 13, 1967 for John Pitre of Franklin, LA, and his wife Peggy, who has multiple sclerosis. [...]

I’ve done the best I could
with thy sweet heritage of blood,
one creature like all the rest
born from your power and benevolence,
graced to share in what you are
for your love’s multiplication
knows no prejudice,
so let me humbly state my thanks

Again a multiplicity of design. [...]

[...] Multiplicity of design, a very general appellation, could refer to the many numbers on the money order I suppose. [...]

[...] You do not understand the multiple reality of your own thoughts or thought forms, and you are not able to follow them out of your own mental home. [...]

[...] You ended up with a true-or-false kind of world, in which it seemed that the answers to the deepest questions about life could be answered quite correctly and adequately by some multiple-choice test. [...]

In later years it’s become impossible for me to close my eyes to the multiple pressing differences that exist between Seth’s explanation of the nature of reality, and of our own private experience of it. [...]

([Gene]: “I would be willing to grant a multiplicity of illusory forms of the same thing—namely you and I. All one.”)

(Jane had some other insights into Seth’s multiple channels as she continued dictating Personal Reality after that session,¹ yet we continued to think of the new development as one of mostly theoretical interest. [...]

This sort of expansion and contraction has nothing to do with addition or subtraction, multiplication or division; but it is an inherent quality of all units.
