En övning inspirerad av Seths filosofier om medvetande och verklighetsskapande

Sammanfattning: Texten utforskar en övning inspirerad av Seths filosofier om medvetande och verklighetsskapande. Övningen innebär att föreställa sig sin identitet som en samling glödande ljuspunkter som representerar olika aspekter av ens medvetande. Genom att följa dessa ljuspunkter uppmuntras deltagaren att upptäcka nya dimensioner av sig själv, fördjupa sin förståelse för medvetandets kopplingar till djur, växter och okända världar, samt att frigöra sig från begränsande självuppfattningar.

Författaren delar sina personliga insikter från övningen, beskriver den som en förtrollande och magisk upplevelse fylld av vitalitet och glädje, samt betonar hur detta kan öppna upp för nya insikter och möjligheter. De reflekterar också över hur övningen hjälper till att bryta ner känslomässiga blockeringar, stärka självförtroende och skapa en lekfull och expansiv relation till verkligheten.

Here is that Seth exercise:

Engaging Infinite Light Cluster of My Consciousness

Seth: “You make your own reality. When I say that, you interpret it to mean that you make your own reality. You think that that ‘you’ is the only ‘you’ that concerns you. You, think that ‘you’ is your consciousness. You still hold that idea in conventional terms, now, of your own identity so you identify with what seems to be whole consciousness that makes it’s reality.

But each portion of your consciousness (using an analogy) – your identity – is composed of an infinite number of glittering points of consciousness, that come together to form your identity. And you hold them and grip them tightly and call them your own. Now your identity is your own. You need have not fear to it. It will not dissolve under any circumstances. Yet you can have a much more adventurous kind of identity if you hold yourselves in less rigorous a grip.

If you can, for example – sometimes in playful moments – imagine those separate glowing points of consciousness, like fireflies, glittering on and off and lighting strange worlds; if you close your eyes and imagine such a point and follow it in your imagination, where does it go? You will not lose yourself – you will discover a portion of yourself that you did not realize existed. You will begin to reclaim an ancient and yet new knowledge. In your terms, you will begin to learn that delicious alchemy that connects the so-called animals and the so-called gods.

For this exercise – for this play, for this game – for this delightful endeavor, you must make a dangerous compromise, for you must pretend momentarily to forget your name. For you were before your name existed, and you will be when you have forgotten what your name was. Your name, except for now, is not important. You will be yourself whether or not you have it.

    • In this multidimensional drama, what you do is this: You imagine the consciousness that you have as an endless glowing sequence of pointed light, merging, swarming, coming and going. No matter where it is, it knows that it is a part of you, so you need not fear that you will lose yourself.

Each point journeys. Each point mixes and intermixes with the consciousness of animals, plants, worlds that you do not recognize. And if you want to know what these realities are about, and your part in them. Then follow where those points of light lead you. You will not be left in darkness.”

-----------------------

To me it feels like stepping in into my very own fairy tale in the sense of the delightfulness, fulfilment, surprisingness and charmed feeling awareness contained in it. It feels like a type of powerful and ah so full of life and vitality - reality where magic is the means of its actualization and enchantment is how it shows. I mean the other exercises with focusing on particular stuff from this level are great and I found that those can also be combined with this one for greater effectiveness but otherwise this feels to me more like what Seven is talking about here:

“…you’re also the magic maker; the inner living part of you that forms your life. But consciously you have to know this, accept and acknowledge it, and let the magic of yourself happen. That way, you’re directing the magic of yourself. But it’s even more fun just to let the magic happen as it wants to, because it’s your magic, and that way it keeps telling you more and more about your magical self. Then the magic flows through you with unimpeded delight…”

So consciously utilizing the Framework 2 with intention appears to me like directing my own magic and then those experiences here are like letting my own magic happen as it wants to … each light there feels to me like some magic entry opening up with delightful experiences on contact  and revealing ah so lovely stuff about me and my expanding reality I had no idea about just the moments before each engagement. My self identity suddenly and instantly expanding there with such pleasure… and with this delightful game it all opens up – to paraphrase the Jane’s William James – it feels like stepping into that Knowing Light and Atmospheric Presence – one exciting step after another - it makes me perceive myself like some exotic plant bearing fruits of infinite and ever enchanting varieties and another fun part is I don’t have to die to be experiencing it  To me the amazement and thrill of it generally lasts for the short durations of these experiences, some of that aliveness, knowledge and aura splashes though into the physicality perceived here and around as well, affecting my believes, impulses and of course self trust. And in any case, I just tremendously appreciate it for what it is and the amazing opportunity it presents in itself.

Another benefit of it I find is that it helps me with playful applying of regular visualizations too. That is without this reference I wasn’t even aware of how timid, or comparatively not so lively and limited these often were. What is clear to me now is that I have been applying a whole series of emotions censoring criteria without being aware of it. Now with my self identity expanding there I can let these belief blocks fall aside more and more automatically and gracefully while focusing in desired directions and letting the magic of myself happen more freely and have fulfillments happen still in reference to my current overall identity but now also letting the magic of me showing me more of my magical self as in this exercise.

Also and somewhat relating to viewing physical from Alpha - it shows me also my desires, particularly in relation to my believes - with such insight, kindness and sense of humor that I had no idea even existed let alone try to conjure such percepts from my regular self identity perspective. In other words, this exercise also appears to bring to the felt surface of my awareness here just what is most needed in the moment too and helping adjust believes and shift probabilities all in one inner self guided package. The moment of the emergence there is subtle and sudden - then I just follow the provided there feeling states for the joy of the sensations involved, for the fun of the experience there itself, then subsequent associative comprehensions, visuals and so on flow easily.

It works for me just as easily with my eyes opened. It feels somewhat similar to asking myself ‘what am I dreaming now' though the implied inner guidance dynamics and vitality flow here feel significantly different. Once I let myself - both get engaged immediately and both can be very vivid and multi sensory – this one here though has in it some more of alternate physical realities in a visceral sense, there is also that energy rush of the I here coming into sharp all new emotional focus there, in a way somewhat like arriving at an astral projection.

Oh, and like he says there 'sometimes in playful moments ...' So if not feeling like that, then using first other exercises, focus games - like say imagining myself in scenarios in which I feel happy - certainly helps, otherwise the energy speed differential might be too steep to engage the needed self-trust there. Besides that I find there is no limit to how often it can be reentered. Also doing it during times of actions or decision points or focus alterations - offers to me some lovely clues about new probabilities, opening up fresh and exciting feeling possibilities.
