My take on the Nature of Reality
This text delves into a deeper understanding of existence beyond our immediate concerns. It emphasizes the importance of exploring the nature of reality and existence through direct experiences rather than just seeking answers to personal queries. Seth encourages a shift in focus from self-centered questions to observing and listening to the world around us, suggesting that profound insights are found in the spaces between our thoughts and in our interactions with nature. This perspective prompts a reevaluation of how we seek knowledge and understanding about existence.
Direct Knowledge
What does the plant say?
Forget that the plant speaks to you.
But, what does the plant on its own say?
What does the tree say?
Not as you are related to the tree.
But, what does it say, for IT SPEAKS.
In the silence of your own thoughts, listen.
The Meaning of Existence, a Seth Session
Seth: “Concepts that you have not thought of are there for you.
Now, I have let you all play and it is good for you. It is like using your physical muscles. But, beyond the playing that you are doing there are also more important issues. And, you should learn of them. There should be questions in your mind besides, what was I in the previous life? How do I relate to others? How am I doing? Am I good or am I bad? Such as, what is the nature of reality?
What is the meaning of existence? I can verbalize some answers for you. And, I try to do so. But, through direct experience and through opening yourselves up you will receive direct knowledge even though you may not be able to verbalize it later. And, you will not get such knowledge by asking goodies of the universe like, what was I before? There is nothing wrong and much good to understand and receiving such information. But, this is not all you should be concerned with. In the silence of your own thoughts, listen. As I have told you before, look where there seems to be nothing. Between sounds, between objects, not in your thoughts but between your thoughts. And, there you will find answers but not to questions that you postulate in a demanding manner. And, this is what I want you to do for the following week.
What does the plant say? Forget that the plant speaks to you. But, what does the plant on its own say? What does the tree say? Not as you are related to the tree. But, what does it say, for it speaks.
What does the air mean when it swirls about the windows? How is this related to the nature of reality, for it is? You are focusing your questions too deeply upon yourselves and in so doing you are cutting down the kind of information that you can receive.”
