The infinite creative nature of being.
We’re like two halves of a whole, forever connected to the perfect completeness of All That Is. And guess what? We’re always on the move, always creating, always evolving. In our endless journey of becoming, we’re helping to expand All That Is in every way possible.
Seth: the infinite creative nature of being.
A conversation between student Gene and Seth
(Gene: “Is it possible for one to be aware of the larger self, the universal self that exists apart from what I here and now call time?”)
It is indeed.
(Gene: “Can we teach ourselves to be guided by that larger self?)
You are already.
(Gene: “Among all of us is the same self, in this larger sense?”)
It is indeed. The separation process is illusion; nevertheless in this way a depth perception is achieved. You are all one self, but you are all individuals and no individuality is lost…You are all pieces, you see, of the whole; but you are not all the same pieces of the whole, but rather individualized pieces of the whole…
The self or structure or personality travels outward and inward and (if you will forgive me) in all directions. It is action. It constantly changes.
Each self as you know it has its own abilities and inclinations and sympathies. It has its own particular place within the Pyramid Gestalt. It can contact that whole self which in your terms does not yet exist, but which is of course always present.
In your search you must contact that whole portion of yourself toward which you are growing… All ways are one way, but your way is your own way. And you can travel no other.
(Gene: “Would you agree with the following? As Krishna says to Arjuna: There is no place to go; you’re already there. There are no chasms — only a crack which is trivial. There is nothing to do. It is already done.”)
Where do you find a contradiction?
(Gene: “I don’t. But I don’t understand how the chasm can be anything other than a figment of my imagination.”)
Indeed you form the patterns in the sense universe, but when you have formed them, you must know them not only as your own creations. You must know their nature for the physical chasm represents a mental chasm within the self.
(Gene: “And all that, in spite of which you’re already home?”)
You are indeed. The self who teaches the seminar already exists.
(Gene: “Kind of a colossal and lovely joke, isn’t it?”)
It is indeed no joke. It is a means for the whole to know itself. But in knowing itself, more of itself is constantly created…You make the divisions. You are part of the whole, but you constantly enlarge the experiences of the whole. It is not done and finished in the terms of which you think.
(Gene: “Enlighten me. I don’t understand.”)
To begin with in your terms: What is, is not static. Therefore it cannot in those terms be considered complete and done with.
(Gene: “But always becoming?”)
But always in a state of becoming. However in the Spacious Present, All That Is does exist. The becoming can never be completed and yet wherever you choose to draw a line, you will think of it as an end.”

Wrapping up…
Seth invites us to think about how we create our own sense of self and how we’re always connected to everything around us. Just like the sun and moon go through their cycles, we too change and grow. In the coming week, take some time to connect with nature and the changes that happen throughout the year.
Observe the Cycles: Take some time to be outside or in a quiet place and watch how nature changes. Pay attention to the light and dark, the growth and rest, the beginnings and endings.
Affirmation: “I am whole and ever-unfolding in the present moment. I honor the timeless nature of my being and the infinite possibilities of my growth.”
Meditative Visualization: Imagine yourself as a point of light in a big, endless tapestry. You’re both separate and connected to the whole. Watch how your thoughts, feelings, and actions change the tapestry, creating new patterns of beauty and meaning.
Journal Prompt: Think about any things you don’t understand about yourself that you’re ready to let go of. Then, think about how you can embrace the joy of becoming more fully yourself.
