[...] (Pause.) The nervous system reacts to the information even as it translates it. [...] The information is received and translated, as it must be, into mechanisms which the nervous system can handle and interpret and translate in physical terms. The information then, like any perception, becomes a part of the nervous system’s structure. [...]

Any perception of any kind instantly alters the electromagnetic and neurological systems of the perceiver. [...] The perceiving mechanisms themselves change and are changed by that which they perceive, and I am speaking now of your physical system, and the physical nature of any perception.

[...] In projections other portions of Ruburt’s personality leave your system. [...] The unusual aspect, comparatively speaking, is that the information gained can be translated and used within your system.

[...] (Pause.) Any perception immediately blends, then, with the entire system of the individual. [...]

In some systems the “individual” is quite aware of having more egos than one, in your terms. [...] A Christ who was not aware of this would not appear in such a system, you see. [...]

[...] The probable system of reality opens up the nature of the soul to you. [...]

[...] Some of these are physically materialized, others are actualized in probable systems. [...]

[...] That is what you are in this particular system of reality for. [...]

“The source and power of your present consciousness has never been physical, and where I am, many are not even aware that such a physical system exists. The physical system is an illusion, but you must accept it and from its viewpoint try to understand the realities that exist beyond it. [...] He must leave the physical system, and in so doing set up habits and paths that can be used to advantage.”

“Later, in your time, all of you will look down into the physical system like giants peering through small windows at the others now in your position and smile. [...] … We protect such systems. Our basic and ancient knowledge and energy automatically reaches out to nourish all systems that grow—”

[...] Your Ruburt experienced a transmigration of systems. [...] Then he reentered your own system of physical blocks, and by contrast that system then appeared huge and monstrous.

[...] … We want to deal with the nature of reality as it exists within your camouflage system and within other systems, and to study the overall characteristics that pertain to it, regardless of any given materialization.

[...] I have told you that these projections may carry you to different systems. [...]

[...] Otherwise we would have explosive outbursts of suddenly released aggressions in systems where they do not belong.

[...] If the energy is focused in a particular manner, then you have physical objects within your system.

[...] Now it is this that may carry you to other systems, though the word carry seems to imply a motion backward or forward. [...]

[...] There is a cohesiveness to the inner universe, and to the systems that are not basically physical. But this cohesiveness is based upon an entirely different set of root assumptions or agreements, and these are the keys that alone will enable you to manipulate within, or understand, other systems.

[...] It is far more extensive even in physical terms, and its reality exists in dimensions which do not exist within the physical system. [...]

The nonphysical systems are frightening to the ego-centered personality; but the bulk of the individual’s reality does not lie within the physical universe, but in those unknown areas. [...]

[...] These, now, root agreements, form the main basis for the apparent permanence and coherence of your physical system.

The healing involved is always psychic and spiritual, and these healers are available to help each personality in your system as you know it, in your present time, and in other systems.

(9:26.) The entity might well be exploring several probable systems too, and these personalities would also have to be reached and contacted. [...]

Such a work would be perceived in your system as one thing, for example, but would also be perceived in probable realities, though perhaps in an entirely different way — a multidimensional art, you see, so free and elemental that it would appear simultaneously in many realities.

[...] For example, inspiration in your system is often the work of such creators.

[...] Now you are also the receiver of other such signals coming from other probabilities that are connected with your own, but you choose which of those probable actions you want to make real or physical in your system, as others also have the freedom of choice in their systems.

[...] You exist in the middle of the probable system of reality. [...]

[...] You may think that these are fantasy, but instead you may be perceiving a legitimate picture of events that did occur within another system of probabilities.

[...] Once you are aware of the probable system, however, you will also learn to become alert to what I will here call “benign intrusive impulses.” [...]

Now words belong to your particular time system. [...] Therefore communication is dependent upon your time system. [...] The placement of emphasis, the vowels and consonants, the length of time to utter them, all of these issues are intimately connected with your own nervous systems, and with the intervals inherent within your time system, between thought and action.

[...] She thought Seth would speak on time this evening, in continuing answer to my question in the 422nd session; concerning the manner in which Seth’s larger entity appreciates our time system.

Those portions of my entity that have not had physical experience, however, do not operate within that time system, at any time(smile), if you will excuse the pun. [...]

There are unities, barely contemplated, then, between language, exterior communication, the physical nervous system, and time, or your idea of it. [...]

One note: Within your system sounds do form structures, that your eyes do not perceive. It would help you to think of painting these structures, for in some other systems voice is perceived in this manner.

There are psychological adventures in my system also.

It would involve a look and an examination of your system of reality as it appears to me. [...]

(Smile.) I would of course provide the reader with a statement of my own background, and to some extent compare my attitudes toward your system of reality, for when I lived within it my opinions were far different than they are now.

(10:19.) Each probable system of reality of course then creates other such systems, and any one act, realized, brings forth an infinite number of “unrealized” acts that will also find their actualization. Now all systems of reality are open. [...]

PROBABLE SYSTEMS, MEN, AND GODS

(9:24.) And now we begin the next chapter: “Probable Systems, Men, and Gods.”

In the systems in which evolution of consciousness has worked in that fashion, all faculties of body and mind in one “lifetime” are beautifully utilized. [...] Shadows of all such probabilities appear within your own system, as oddities. Anything apparent to whatever degree in your system is developed in another.

[...] So were various systems of reality formed. [...] The units can and do intermix, yet because of the propensity for selectivity and significance, whole groups of them will “repel” other whole groups, thus providing a protective inner system of interaction.

The units form themselves into the various systems that they have themselves initiated. [...]

(Pause.) Other kinds of psychological gestalts have been and are being tried — some that would appear quite inconceivable to you; and yet now and then versions of them appear within your system.

The time system is entirely different here. The value fulfillment is quite as valid however within both systems, and in a very loose fashion this probability system could be compared to Dunne’s time three.

I would like to give you some more material this evening concerning our inverted time system, for when you understand how it operates then you can begin to take advantage of it more readily.

When the inverted time system is understood for what it is, then the individual is in contact simultaneously with the experience gained in the so-called past, and is also able to take advantage of events which have not yet occurred within your present. [...]

[...] For you are seeing into probabilities, and the probable event may or may not occur, within your time system.

[...] It was an attempt to objectify inner reality as it was perceived through a certain belief system. Whether the artist disagreed with certain issues or not, the belief system was there as an invisible framework. That intense focus that united belief systems, that tension between a sensed subjective world and the physical one, and the rarity of images to be found elsewhere, brought art into that great flowering.

The main issue, however, in that particular era, was a shared belief system, a system that consisted of, among other things, implied images that were neither here nor there—neither entirely earthly nor entirely divine—a mythology of God, angels, demons, an entire host of Biblical characters that were images in man’s imagination, images to be physically portrayed. [...]

Cells, however, possess an inner knowledge of their own shapes, and of any other shapes in their immediate environment—this apart from the communication system mentioned earlier that operates on biological levels between all cells.

(9:40.) Those mythological images and their belief system were shared by all—peasants and the wealthy—to a large degree. [...]

[...] It can also be a pulling together of the self into an ever-smaller capsule that enables the self to enter other systems of reality. [...]

“No consciousness exists in any system without this capsule enclosing it. [...]

[...] What appears rigid to your perception will not appear as rigid from other viewpoints outside of your system. What may appear to have no form within your system may well have form outside your system.

Effects which appear within your system, discernible by your instruments but without form in some, indeed many cases, represent speeds and velocities of activities or acts that actually have their origin from without your system; but because of their different speed and velocity they can travel through your system, and of course making their impression upon it.

Electromagnetic fields perceived and used within your system have their origin elsewhere. [...]

This is precisely the appearance that your system gives. [...]

In such a system, even good becomes suspect, because an equal evil is seen to follow it. [...] In your system of reality now you set up great contrasts and opposing factors. [...]

There are systems of probability not connected with your own system at all, much more advanced than any you presently imagine, and in these, the truths of which I have been speaking are well known. [...]

[...] Many others, however, choose to deny experience while within the physical system, committing suicide quite as effectively while still physically alive.

[...] If you believe, for example, that all good must be balanced by evil, then you bind yourself into a system of reality that is highly limiting, and that contains within it the seeds of great torment.

In their strong psychic alliance and in their coordination abilities, and the agility with which—the agility with which—they can manipulate between systems, consciously, with purpose, and with some exuberance. They are communicators in that they spread knowledge from one system of reality to another. They are given much more, for example, to ideas rather than to the various camouflage realities within systems. Many groups, you see, deal exclusively with the camouflage reality between systems, with building it up, with its maintenance.

[...] The Sumari, however—and they all initiate—initiate the birth of systems. They constantly carry communications between systems, and they deal with the initiation and communication of ideas, from one system to another. [...]

[...] Now, that sort of thing is a dim shadow, in three-dimensional terms, dealing with one planet, of a much more vast system. And in that vast system there are this particular group of people, who are united by certain traits and similarities. [...]

[...] And in that respect, they are initiators, say, of a particular camouflage system. But they are not those who continually nourish that camouflage system. [...]

Now, dictation: Consciousness operates with what you may call code (spelled) systems. [...] Consciousness differentiates itself, therefore, by operating within certain code systems that help direct particular kinds of focus, bringing in certain kinds of significances³ while blocking out other data.

These other data, of course, might well be significant in different code systems. In their way, however, these systems are interrelated, so that at other levels there is communication between them — secondary data, you might say, that is supportive but not primarily concentrated upon.

Again, all of these code systems⁵ are interrelated. [...] Such secondary systems can tell you much about the potentials of human reality, those that are latent but can at any time be “raised” to primary importance. Such secondary systems also point toward the probable developments possible for individuals or species.

Each system, of course, brings forth its own culture, “technology,” art, and science. [...] In your system of beliefs, however, those athletes must train and focus all of their attention in that direction, often at the expense of other portions of their own experience. [...]

This reality and those attributes will appear within various systems of actuality in keeping with the camouflage data of any given system. [...]

[...] When your own thoughts have a form and reality, when they have validity even in other systems of reality of which you are unaware, then it is not difficult to understand why other systems of probabilities are also affected by your own thoughts and emotions — nor why the actions of the probable gods are not affected by what happens in other dimensions of existence.

As there are portions of reality that you do not consciously perceive, and other systems of probability of which you are not consciously aware, so also are there aspects of primary godhood that you cannot at this moment comprehend. [...]

[...] The mental and psychic energy which you have expended in the physical system does continue, to some varying degree, to sustain it. A lingering feeling allows those who have left your system to keep in contact with it if they so desire. [...]

Such individuals are usually beyond reach from anyone within your system. [...]

[...] A misguided individual can still cleave to the physical system, though he cannot operate within it as before.

[...] They do not experience centuries, you see, though they may remain attached to your system for centuries of earth time.
