The Playboy Rejection and the "Frisky" Seth
The session kicked off with some very human drama. Jane (Ruburt) was a bit salty after receiving a letterless rejection from Playboy. She was doubting Seth’s previous psychic "prediction" about a sale. Seth, being the cosmic pal he is, showed up in a "frisky, companionable mood" to double down: the sale had developed, but the interpretation was just a bit off.
The Illusion of "The Beginning"
Seth wasted no time blowing our linear minds. If you’re looking for a "Big Bang" or a single starting line for the universe, Seth says you’re looking at a "camouflage perspective." In the "spacious present," there is no past, and everything—even the tiny microscopic particles—is just a materialization of "inner, aware energy."
"The first origin, my dear friends, is constantly reoccurring, but never in the same or exact manner, never in terms of a rehappening or of a record played over and over."
The Dream Universe: A Movie Always Playing
One of the chillest takeaways here is how Seth describes dreams. You don't "start" a dream when you hit the pillow. The dream universe is always running, whether you’re awake or asleep.
"It is true that physical stimuli may signal a dream... but it calls your attention to the dream, which has been in progress, as if you walked into a darkened theatre and began to see portions of a production which had been going on."
The Cosmic Recycling Program: Entropy is a Lie
For the science buffs, Seth took a swing at the concept of entropy. He explains that energy isn’t actually "lost" or "unusable." Instead, it’s a beautifully efficient system where energy seeps through different layers of reality:
- The Physical Universe: Where we hang out.
- The Dream Universe: The psychological "ego" buffer.
- The Universe of Negative Matter: The by-product of the dream world.
They form a "closed system" only for the sake of discussion, but they are constantly feeding each other. When we mastered fire physically, it enriched the dream universe with new freedoms. Talk about a cross-dimensional upgrade!
Negative Matter and Parallel Selves
Seth briefly touched on the "Universe of Negative Matter," promising more later. He dropped a teaser that we have parallel selves there, though they aren't "psychologically identical." He even hinted at some "slip-ups" involving identical twins that he’d explain in the future. Spooky, right?
Closing Notes & Psy-Time
The session ended with Seth congratulating Joseph (Robert Butts) on his painting sales—turns out Seth’s advice actually works for the mortgage! After the session, the couple recorded "psy-time" experiences, including Joseph feeling like the bed had disappeared beneath his legs, leaving him suspended in air.
