In the art world it is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Once might say that in the philosophy world truth is in the spirit of the beholder.

One could regard each sentence of the Seth Material (SM) as a symbolic piece of art that the ego comprehends, to its current abilities, and shares with the inner self. This in turn triggers intuitional impulses, from the inner self, back to the ego and results in a certain growth or evolution of the ego.

If one were to read that same SM sentence a year later, new comprehensions, based on one’s evolved abilities, would be born and once again further sharing and growth would occur.

It may be that the just in time insights we experience from spontaneous readings of the SM, are actually triggered by the inner self delivering an impulse to the ego to read that particular passage, based on the whole self’s desire to improve the ego’s understanding of its complete self.

I agree. In my life I've studied a LOT of different spiritual ways, and I took from them what made sense to me, but I always found holes in what they were saying. Maybe it was the holes I was looking for. Anyway, with Seth, well, 'we' have had some terrific arguments, but I've pretty much always changed my perspective.

Love,
Mike.

Hey Jeffrey,
I love what you write here! Once I mused about the same thing in some writing I did, let me find it and share it here:

Words function as vehicles to worlds of understanding fueled by your own imagination and creativity. Without these two aspects they will not move you to the information they were created for. They will seem empty and without meaning, until you have experience to help you understand what is written. Sometimes you have to learn a new way of deciphering information to understand the information at hand, at other times you have to make new connections in already existing frameworks.

When someone rereads a book after several months or years, often the reader might say: “I find something new in it every time I read it”. This is because the whole experience is in a way new, over the years the person who reads the book has changed, subtly and sometimes more drastically. New associations and connections are there that fuel and steer the vehicle to a new destination in the land of understanding. This does not mean that the old personal “adaptation” was false or distorted, quite the contrary, it is just as valid a road. It slowly dawns on the reader that the land of understanding is far greater than he/she thought at first.

Your physical focuses are like the letters of an alphabet. You can see each focus as a different letter, together they create intense vehicles to understanding, understanding of Self. Just as one word can have many different meanings, all depending on the context, the same counts for the meaning of life experiences.

Great analogy Emmy! When I read your "Words function as vehicles to worlds of understanding" it reminded me that although we use vehicles to reach destinations, it is the journey itself that offers the most value. As we each travel to our unique worlds of understanding, we not only pave the roads for others but also provide vehicular patterns for enjoying and comprehending the journey.

Very well put Jeffrey, I agree!
