My take on consciousness and death
This text delves into profound concepts such as consciousness, death, and self-identification. It emphasizes the detachment of consciousness from the physical body, urging readers to explore a deeper journey within themselves for true self-discovery. It challenges conventional views of identity tied to the body, urging a more expansive exploration of one’s inner being beyond superficial memories or fears.
Your bodies are not you
Your own bodies… are the vehicles that you wear.
They’re the space garments you don in order to dwell upon your earth.
They are not you. You use them.
Use them joyfully and gladly and well.
But, do not identify with them. For, they are not you.
Journey inward and self-discovery, a Seth session about consciousness and death
Seth: “I tell you now (and for the sake of our guests) that death is not sober. And, it is not death. You simply take a giant step forward. And, as my friends know that I will, I will tell you that all vitality rings. And, it rings through this frame. And, it rings through your own frame. And, it is lighthearted. And, it is joyful. And, it knows not sobriety. As you know, it is a lighthearted thing.
Consciousness left to itself is like April left to itself. It is you who project disasters into the month of April – whenever disasters occur. And, it is you who projects disasters into consciousness when those disasters occur.
I use Ruburt’s body, with his permission, because he is a friend of mine. You use your own bodies. They are the vehicles that you wear. As Ruburt would say, they’re the space garments you don in order to dwell upon your earth. They are not you. You use them. Use them joyfully and gladly and well. But, do not identify with them. For, they are not you. I have used and discarded more bodies than I would desire to count. And, had I really died with even one of those bodies, I would not be speaking to you now. And, you would not be sitting beside me. For, you have also spoken with many tongues.
But, again, coming here once a week may help you find yourself – it may point you in the right direction. But, you will only find yourself when you journey inward. And, by journeying inward I do not mean a quick and hasty and apologetic trip to your child memories. I do not mean an attempt to find out why you are frightened of spiders or have boils on your arm. I am speaking of a more extensive journey. And, all of you know to what I am referring.”
