233 Your Probable Self Runs Future Simulations

Session 233, February 14, 1966: Valentines, Probable Selves, and Psychic Rebirth

Seth was in a particularly charming mood, opening with a classic: "Now good evening, my Valentines."

This session is a wild ride through the mechanics of time, the "probable self," and some seriously impressive psychic hits. Let’s break down the cosmic tea Seth spilled while Jane and Rob were lounging in their front room.

The Weather Man of the Multiverse

A few sessions prior, Seth predicted no "appreciable snow" for ten days. He was right on the money—the snow held off until three hours after the deadline. Whether it’s spirits or just really good vibes, Seth clearly has a handle on the atmosphere.

The Dreaming Self and Your "Twin" Probable Self

Seth dives deep into why your dreams feel so real and yet so messy. Here’s the gist:

• Simultaneous Reality: To the dreaming self, past, present, and future don't exist in a line. It’s all happening at once. Seth notes: "All experience as I have told you is basically simultaneous, and the dreaming self is simply aware of its experiences in their entirety."
• The Probable Self: You have a "twin" self that lives in the realm of probable events. This version of you tests out different life choices so you don’t have to.
• The Dream Drama: Your dreaming self takes data from this probable self and turns it into a "dream drama" to warn your subconscious about dangers or successes in your physical life.
• The Ego’s Blindfold: Your ego is too busy managing "physical actuality" to notice this constant stream of data. It’s like your ego is the stressed-out manager, while your subconscious is the intern who actually knows what’s going on.

Reincarnation: You’re Not a Newbie

If you think you’re starting from scratch this lifetime, think again. Seth explains that your genes are essentially a "physical materialization of inner knowledge" from past lives.

• Stone Age Blues: Seth quips: "The human organism does not spring full blown, erupt into existence at birth, and laboriously then begin its first attempt to gain experience. If this were the case you would still be back in the stone ages."
• Social Cohesion: We only know how to relate to others because our deeper selves remember doing it for thousands of years.
• Psychic Gestalts: We are part of a larger "gestalt" of many selves—a cosmic group project we’re only just beginning to understand.

The Envelope Experiment: Wedding Bells and Confetti

In a classic "test" of Jane’s abilities, Seth identifies the contents of a sealed envelope containing a wedding announcement. He nailed several specific details:

• He saw "strips of color," which he later clarified was confetti.
• He mentioned an "initiation" and a new tradition, which turned out to be the bride being the first Protestant in that specific church allowed to enter the altar enclosure.
• He accurately pulled the year (1966) and specific personal dates from 1963.

Jane’s Rebirth Dream

Jane had a dream about giving birth to twins without pain. Seth explains this isn't about literal babies (phew!), but a "rebirth" of her creative and psychic self. He predicted a major creative project would come to fruition around her birthday in May—likely her ESP book. Seth’s take: "He saw a female child because the product will be intuitive, and psychic, rather than born from logic."
