One thing I'm finding really interesting about the Seth material is that people who read it generally find it very easy to understand and accept. It just makes sense--in spite of all the crazyness involved with parallel dimensions, simultaneous time, levels of consciousness, etc. People just seem to 'get' it and like it. I can't think of a single 'objection' to it that can't be explained in terms of the system. It would be easy to paint it with a broad brush and call it 'wish fulfillment' but there's just too much substance too it, too much depth, and never any real inconsistency (at least, that I can think of). Contrast that to certain mainstream religions which I often find blantantly absurd and intolerable. (You know who you are!)

Everyone says the same thing: it brings understanding, peace of mind, self-awareness, confidence, hope, inspiration, and happiness. Can't be all bad, can it?

Adrian,

I think this is a great example of a success story, some might say miracle. Your story underscores that the "success" regarding working with Seth's concepts doesn't have to be something that is on the order of what Jane Roberts experienced. It can be as important and unique and miraculous as personal growth and development, becoming.

Thanks for your story Silverflow and lavendergarden....and all the replies and for you brining up the topic truant.

As with some of the responses, I spent many years in darkness, struggling with depression, stuck in the past, blaming others, and haunted with toxic shame. I wasn't good enough, I wasn't likable, and so and so on. Everyday hurt so much. Over the years with love from friends, professionals, my 12-step group, myself, and the grace of so many others who touched me in ways I was even aware of I struggled slowly and painfully to see and accepts things differently. Along the way, I re-thought my concept of God, myself, and, oh...so many things.

I'm blessed to still remember a number of dreams I've had that marked a significant change, either before or after the changing event. Those memories still help me on some days. I'm blessed to be able to look at myself for all that I know I am and to feel, inside, it's good. I'm blessed to be in a state where I trust and admire my intuition, those voices inside me that I now enjoy listening to and have to rely on for a truer read of myself and others than my reason can give me many times. My inner voices used to move me to a deep sense of shame, now those voices are my greatest sense of sanity.

Thanks truant for asking for some personal stories. It was refreshing to remind myself of my history.

Remember Feeling Tones? Seth always discloses from the get-go in his books and sessions that what s/he teaches is inherent in each focus (You) personality. Another channeled entity called Elias-and others--call this Rememberance (of your higher self and all their creativity). When you delve into CUs or consciousness units where you can fit millions into 1 molecule and are what our 3/D scientists might classify as the basic building blocks of matter you will discover that each CU possesses the capacity to utilize all the inner reality laws (would ATI have it any other way :laugh: ?).

My self-awareness began with the ability to use another basic characteristic of IR--Telepathy--which is still too ambiguous or enigmatic for most of our low level consciousness human beings. I communicate with our collective consciousness (as you do in the dream state or Framework 3) all the time--egotistically

My awareness brings my Intent for this physical manifestation into focus. My challenge this time along with intent puts me totally 1-up on current world views, beliefs, and accepted reality. You Truant are becoming part of the Shift in world consciousness evolution if you will. Can't be all bad, can it?

Keep coming back

Seth delivers his material with such confidence and good humor. He often talks about how you don't have to take his "word" for it, you should try it for yourself. The Truth is that no amount of training or hours of lecturing will do much good if you don't experience a DIRECT event. All real learning comes from direct experience. Therefore practice is essential. Reading the material is like being hungry and standing on the sidewalk peering through the window of the bakery. You have to go in and eat or you will merely become frustrated (and even MORE hungry).

I can tell stories about psy time, but you have to keep practicing until something very real happens to you. Fear is generally the reason things don't happen.

I have many stories, but my favorite was right after I had my second child. When I was young I had a chip on my shoulder and had my first two babies naturally. After the second was born and the midwife took her away to wash her, I said to myself, "I'm NOT doing THAT again!" and I SO meant it...LOL. I very real voice, a deep resonant bass voice said, "One more time". I did have one more child two years later. This taught me that SOME things are "planned ahead".

Another time when I was practicing for OOB I found myself in dark outer space...just floating there. I saw what looked like little glowing balls of light far away from me. A moment later one of them disapeared and reappeared in front of me. It felt like it was greeting me and exuded this sense of curiosity, then this knowledge that I was not supposed to be there. When I communicated my confusion, it just left me and I began to dispurse. I panicked at that point, thinking I was going to dissolve to nothingness when I was slammed back into my body. This taught me that fear will ruin all your hard work!

There are so many stories...but the main point is that once you start with psy time it WILL leak into your waking conscious life in interesting ways. Startling coincidences and telepathy may be the first things you notice. There are some practical uses: once when I was driving in heavy traffic I wondered idly if it would be worth the effort to try to change lanes to get out from behind a car in front of me that was buring oil and causing my car to fill up with fumes. A lane change would mean that a few miles up I would have to fight to get back for a left turn. Immediately I had a vision of that car making a left at the next light, getting out of my lane and clearing the air. Sure enough, 300 feet ahead he turned left. This was so intriguing, I wondered about the car in front of me now. I got a vision of an intersection 3 miles ahead where HE would be turning. I waited, and yes, he turned left in front of the Bank America building. This was fun. Now there was a motorcycle in front of me. "Where is HE going?" I asked casually. A vision of an industrial park (which I knew) came. The motorcycle changed lanes and turned right at the point that would have taken him to that neighborhood. This taught me that efforts spent in psy time have unexpected benefits.

I think we need these little "proofs" to give us the confidence to work in psy time. The more confidence you gather, the more you "believe" and then the faster and more productive your sessions will be. Soon you will be using your Inner Senses as easily and naturally as you use your physical senses.

Thank you for your words Silver. I feel a smile in my heart.

Adrian.
