You must be aware of the contentsof your own reasoning mindFind the ambiguitiesRegardless of the nature of your beliefsthey are indeed made flesh and materialThe miracle of your being cannot escape itselfYour thoughts blossom into eventsIf you think the world is evilyou will meet with events that seem evilThere are no accidents in cosmic termsor in terms of the world as you know itYour beliefs grow as surely in time and spaceas flowers doWhen you realize this you can even feel their growingTo change your experience or any portion of itthen, you must change your ideassince you have been forming your own reality all alongthe results will follow naturallyYou must be convinced that you can alter your beliefsyou must be willing to tryThink of a

limiting idea as a muddy colorand your life as a multidimensional painting that is marredlife is your own canvas and you are the painterSETH**WE ARE ONE**In the most basic sense, the purpose of life is being--as opposed to not being. In your system of three-dimensional reality you are learning about mental energy (also called thought energy or psychic energy) and how to use it. Knowledge about mental energy and its use is learned by constantly transforming your thoughts and emotions into physical form (your physical reality) and by then perceiving and dealing with the matter and events that are formed. From doing this, you are supposed to get a clear picture of your inner development as it is reflected by the exterior environment. You participate in physical reality so that you can operate and experience within this dimension. Here, you can develop your abilities, learn, create, solve problems and help

others.What is gross about your flesh, or about the seasons that sweep through it and across the earth? Where is there a greater exaltation, and where is there a finer power than what you are? And what is within you? From that do you form all of your realities and all your worlds. Look to dim horizons, bloodless ones in which you are spirit without form. If spirit did not want form, it would not have worn it. It would not make it daily in your image, out of your own desires. It would not tremble in your fingertips and fly to the channel of your bone.Your creaturehood is your divinity and your knowledge, for through your creaturehood does your divinity express itself. You are awake who believe you dream. You are dreaming who believe you are awake; for the terms are meaningless. You make your tomorrow out of your desire, as you form your present and your past. Your gut awareness is a god in you laughing, so rejoice! When gods do

not need intestines, they will not make them. When gods do not enjoy the smile on your lips, you will not need the lips-and the gods will be the sorrier, and you will be the sorrier!Within your experience now is the joy of your being--and that fine, astute, pure nature-rousing itself up through stems of flesh and limbs of arms, looking out through your own individual eyes at the Universe it has created, and finds it good. What is gross about your being? Only your belief! You shine with reality that in other universes appears as stars, and they look and they say, "What beauty, what distance, and what fine, undefinable existence is this?As all of you know, but as all of you need telling--not from me, but from yourself--spontaneity knows its own order. If you did not distrust yourselves so thoroughly, you would not worry about your responsibilities. Being yourself automatically fulfills any responsibility. The gods created the

Universe out of joy and playfulness and creativity, not because they thought they had to. Your being is blessed and spontaneous because it is. And fulfilling it with nature automatically fulfills your purposes and, in your terms, your responsibility.The teacher is within each of you, and you are yourselves the teacher that you do not recognize, And the voice that speaks in your dreams is the voice of yourself that you do not recognize speaking from the ancient founts of knowledge that are your own.SETHThe "negative" subjective and objective events that you meet are meant to make you examine the contents of your own conscious mind. In their way the hateful or revengeful thoughts are natural therapeutic devices, for if you follow them, accepting them with their own validity as feelings, they will automatically lead you beyond themselves; they will change into other feelings, carrying you from hatred into what may seem to be the

quicksands of fear-which is always behind hatred.By going along with feelings you unify your emotional, mental and bodily state. When you try to fight or deny them, you divorce yourself from the reality of your being. Dealing with thoughts and feelings as just directed at least roots you firmly in the integrity of your present experience, and allows its innate motion and natural creativity to thrust toward a therapeutic solution.When you refute such emotions or become terrified of them, you impede the flow of feeling from one moment to the other. You set up dams. Any emotion will change into another if you experience it honestly. Otherwise you clog the natural movement of your entire system.Fear, faced and felt with its bodily sensations and the thoughts that go along with it, will automatically bring about its own state of resolution. The conscious system of beliefs behind the impediment will be illuminated, and you will realize

that you feel a certain way because you believe an idea that causes and justifies 'such a reaction.If you habitually deny the expression of any emotions, to that degree you become alienated not only from your body but from your conscious ideas. You will bury certain thoughts and put up biological armor to prevent you from physically feeling their effects upon your body. In each case the answer lies in your personal system of beliefs, in those strong concepts you hold on an intimate level that brought about the inhibitions to begin with.If you find yourself running around in a spiritual frenzy, trying to repress every negative idea that comes into your head, then ask yourself why you believe so in the great destructive power of your slightest "negative" thought.The body and mind together do present a united, self regulating, healing, self-clearing system. Within it each problem contains its own solution if it is honestly faced.

Each symptom, mental or physical, is a clue to the resolution of the conflict-behind it, and contains within it the seeds of its own healing.Now: It is true that habitual thoughts of love, optimism and self acceptance are better for you than their opposites; but again, your beliefs about yourself will automatically attract thoughts that are consistent with your ideas. There is as much natural aggressiveness in love as there is in hate. Hate is a distortion of such a normal force, the result of your beliefs.There are two ways to get at your own conscious beliefs. The most direct is to have a series of talks with yourself. Write down your beliefs in a variety of areas, and you will find that you believe different things at different times. Often there will be contradictions readily apparent. These represent opposing beliefs that regulate your emotions, your bodily condition and your physical experience. Examine the conflicts. Invisible

beliefs will appear that unite those seemingly diverse attitudes. Invisible beliefs are simply those of which you are fully aware but prefer to ignore, because they represent areas of strife which you have not been willing to handle thus far. They are quite available once you are determined to examine the complete contents of your conscious mind.SETHYou are like children with a game, and you think that the game is played by everyone. Physical life is not the rule. Identity and consciousness existed long before Earth was formed and will continue to exist long after it's gone...still worried about borders?The fear of your own emotions can do far more damage than their expression, because the apprehension builds up a charge that intensifies the energy behind them.In your world you identify as yourself only, and yet love can expand that identification to such an extent that the intimate awareness of another individual is often a

significant portion of your own consciousness.You may need some time before the old beliefs become less prominent, and finally fall into their proper decay-a decay, incidentally, that does indeed have its own kind of majesty, energy, and beauty. But the inner natural leanings of all consciousness within the realms of your being now yearn for constructive change, clearer vision, to experience again their inherent sense of corporal spirituality, physical and psychic grace.You must give up any ideas that you have as to the unsavory nature of unconscious activity. You must learn to believe in the goodness of your being. Otherwise, you will not explore these other states of your own realityYou have taught yourselves to look outward into physical reality, but the inward validity of your being cannot be found there-only its effects.Humanity dreams the same dream at once, and you have your mass world. The whole construction is

like an educational play in which you are the producers as well as the actors.The whole following sentence to be underlined:And as long as you hold your current conscious belief you will experience it as reality.Close your eyes. Think of your breaths as lives, and you the entity through which they have passed and are passing. Then you will feel your state of grace, and all artificial guilts will be meaningless.It is amazing how man regrets the hours spent in sleep. He does not realize how hard he works when the ego is unaware.To be healthy you must believe in health. A good physician is a changer of beliefs. He will replace an idea of illness with one of health. Whatever methods or drugs he uses will not be effective unless this change of belief takes place.Again: Existences are like notes played along certain frequencies. You are tuned in to an earth song, following this analogy, but you are only following

your own melody, and usually you are unaware of the greater orchestration in which you also take part.There is nothing to be feared in energy. You can take tiny sips of energy from a spoon. You can take a shower of energy if you want. But there is nothing dangerous in energy. It will not overwhelm you. You are, yourself, the purest form of energy.You possess within yourself all of those potentials in which consciousness creatively takes part. The cell does not need to be consciously aware of you in order to fulfill itself, even though your expectations of health largely influence its existence, but your recognition of the soul and entity can help you direct energies from these other dimensions into your daily life.MORE LIGHTSETHTo rid yourself of annoying restrictions then you need repattern your past from the present. Whatever your circumstances, you use the past as a rich source, looking through it for your

successes, restructuring it. When you search it looking for what is wrong, then you become blind to what was right, in those terms, so that the past only mirrors the shortcomings that now face you.Other events literally become invisible to you. Since basically past and future exist at once, you are at the same time dangerously constructing your future along the same lines.Individuals can go from psychologist to psychologist, from self-therapy to self-therapy, always with the same question: "what is wrong?" The question itself becomes a format through which experience is seen, and itself represents one of the main reasons for all limitations, physical, p@ chic or spiritual. (See the 624th session in Chapter Five.)At one point or another the individual ceased concentrating upon what was right in certain personal areas, and began to focus upon and magnify specific "lacks." With all good intentions, then, various solutions are looked

for, but all based upon the premise that something is wrong.If such a practice is continued, the concentration upon negatives can gradually bleed out into other previously unblemished areas of experience.You are not at the mercy of past beliefs, therefore. On the other hand, the sooner you begin to act upon new ones the better. Otherwise you are not trusting them in the present. If you are poor and want to have more money, and try to maintain a belief in abundance-while still faced with the fact of present poverty-you must in your reality make some symbolic move that shows you are willing to accept a change.As foolish as it may sound, you should give some money away, or in whatever manner that suits you act as if you did have more money than you physically have. You must respond to your new beliefs, so that neurologically the new message gets across.You perform habitually in certain manners as a result of your beliefs.

Now if you willfully change some of those habits then you are also getting the message across. The initiative must come from you, and in the present. In a very real manner of speaking, this means changing your viewpoint, that particular perspective with which you view your past and present and imagine your future.You must look within yourself for evidences of what you want in terms of positive experience. Examine your past with that in mind. Imagine your future from the power point of the present. In such a way at least you are not using the past to reinforce your limitations, or projecting them into the future. It is only natural to contrast what you want with what you have, and it is very easy to become discouraged in so doing, but looking for errors in the past will not help you. A correctly utilized five-minute period of time can be of great benefit, however. In this period concentrate upon the fact that the point of power is now. Feel and

dwell upon the certainty that your emotional, spiritual and psychic abilities are focused through the flesh, and for five minutes only direct all of your attention toward what you want. Use visualization or verbal thought-whatever comes most naturally to you; but for that period do not concentrate upon any lacks, just upon your desire.**together, as ONE, WE can change this reality**SETHOnly true compassion and love will lead to an understanding of the nature of good, and only these qualities will serve to annihilate the erroneous and distortive concepts of evil. The simple fact is that as long as you believe in the concept of evil, it is a reality in your system, and you will always find it manifested. Your belief in it will, therefore, seem highly justified. If you carry this concept through succeeding generations, through reincarnations, then you add to its reality.First of all, love always involves freedom. If a man says he

loves you and yet denies you your freedom, then you often hate him. Yet because of his words you do not feel justified in the emotion. This sort of emotional tangle itself can lead to continued entanglements through various lives. If you hate evil, then beware of your conception of the word. Hate is restrictive. It narrows down your perception. It is indeed a dark glass that shadows all of your experience. You will find more and more to hate, and bring the hated elements into your own experience.If you hate illness you may bring upon yourself a succeeding life of illness, because the hate has drawn it to you. If you expand your sense of love, of health, and existence, then you are drawn in this life and in others toward those qualities; again, because they are those upon which you concentrate. A generation that hates war will not bring peace.A generation that loves peace will bring peace!To die with hatred for any cause or

people, or for any reason, is a great disadvantage. You have all kinds of opportunities now to recreate your personal experience in more beneficial ways, and to change your world.In the next life you will be working with those attitudes that are now yours. If you insist upon harboring hatreds within you now, you are very likely to continue doing so. On the other hand, those sparks of truth, intuition, love, joy, creativity, and accomplishment gained now, will work for you then as they do now. They are, you see, the only true realities. They are the only real foundations of existence.Through all your lives you will interpret the reality that you see in your own way, and that way will have its effect upon you, and in turn upon others. The man who literally hates, immediately sets himself up in this fashion: He prejudges the nature of reality according to his own limited understanding. A man who hates always believes himself justified. He

never hates anything that he believes to be good. He thinks he is being just, therefore, in his hatred, but the hatred itself forms a very strong claim that will follow him throughout his lives, until he learns that only the hatred itself is the destroyer.I would like to make it clear that there is nothing to be gained, either, by hating hatred. You fall into the same trap. What is needed is a basic trust in the nature of vitality, and faith that all elements of experience are used for a greater good, whether or not you can perceive the way in which "evil" is transmuted into creativity. What you love will also be a part of your experience in this life and others.The most important idea to be remembered is that no one thrusts the experience of any given lifetime upon you. It is formed faithfully according to your own emotions and beliefs. The great power and energy of love and creativity is apparent in the mere fact of your existence.

This is the truth so often forgotten - that [the combination of] consciousness and existence continues and absorbs those elements that seem to you so destructive.Hate is powerful if you believe in it, and yet though you hate life, you will continue to exist. You have made appointments, each of you, that you have forgotten. They were signed, so to speak, before you were born in this existence. In many cases the friends that you make were close to you long before you met them in this present life.The self was not limited, yet surely you think that your self stops where your skin meets space, that you are inside your skin. Period. Yet your environment is an extension of your self. It is the body of your experience, coalesced in physical form. The inner self forms the objects that you know as surely and automatically as it forms your finger or your eye. Your environment is the physical picture of your thoughts, emotions and beliefs made

visible. Since your thoughts, emotions and beliefs move through space and time, you therefore affect physical conditions separate from you.Consider the spectacular framework of your body just from the physical standpoint. You perceive it as solid, as you perceive all other physical matter; yet the more matter is explored the more obvious it becomes that within it energy takes on specific shape (in the form of organs, cells, molecules, atoms, electrons) , each less physical than the last, each combining in mysterious gestalt to form matter. The atoms within your body spin. There is constant commotion and activity. The flesh that seemed so solid turns out to be composed of swiftly moving particles-often orbiting each other-in which great exchanges of energy continually occur.The stuff, the space outside of your body, is composed of the same elements, but in different proportions. There is a constant physical interchange between the

structure you call your body and the space outside it; chemical interactions, basic exchanges without which life as you know it would be impossible.To hold your breath is to die. Breath, which represents the most intimate and most necessary of your physical sensations, must flow out from what you are, passing into the world that seems to be not you. Physically, portions of you leave your body constantly and intermix with the elements. You know what happens when adrenalin is released through the bloodstream. It stirs you up and prepares you for action. But in other ways the adrenalin does not just stay in your body. It is cast into the air and it affects the atmosphere, though it is transformed.Any of your emotions liberate hormones, but these also leave you as your breath leaves you; and in that respect you can say that you release chemicals into the air that then affect it. You are in physical existence to learn and understand that your

energy, translated into feelings, thoughts and emotions, causes all experience. There are no exceptions.Once you understand this you have only to learn to examine the nature of your beliefs, for these will automatically cause you to feel and think in certain fashions. Your emotions follow your beliefs. It is not the other way around.I would like you to recognize your own beliefs in several areas. You must realize that any idea you accept as truth is a belief that you hold. You must, then, take the next step and say, "It is not necessarily true, even though I believe it." You will, I hope, learn to disregard all beliefs that imply basic limitations.The conscious mind is meant to make clear judgments about your position in physical reality. Often false beliefs will prevent it from making these, for the egotistically held ideas will cloud its clear vision.SETH
