Seth Speaks
The Eternal Validity of the Soul
Chapter 2: Session 515.... continued from 10/10/2021
"Your own physical environment appears as it does to you because of your own
psychological structure. If you gained your sense of personal continuity
through associative processes primarily, rather than as a result of the
familiarity of self moving through time, then you would experience physical
reality in an entirely different fashion. Objects from past and present could
be perceived at once, their presence justified through associative connections.
Say that your father throughout his lifetime has eight favorite chairs. If your
perceptive mechanisms were primarily set up as a result of intuitive
association rather than time sequence, then you would perceive all of these
chairs at one time; or seeing one, you would be aware of the others. So
environment is not a separate thing in itself, but the result of perceptive
patterns, and these are determined by psychological structure."
"So if you want to know what my environment is like, you will have to
understand what I am. In order to explain, I shall have to speak about the
nature of consciousness in general. In doing so I shall end up telling you much
about yourself. The inner portions of your identity are already aware of much
that I will tell you. Part of my purpose is to acquaint your egoistical self
with knowledge that is already known to a large portion of your own
consciousness, that you have long ignored."
