becoming生成

In these excerpts from The Early Sessions, Book 1, although the term "becoming" is not isolated and defined as a single term, its core connotation as "the dynamic process by which All That Is and consciousness continually evolve, flow, and grow" is profoundly elaborated through the fluidity of life force, the cooperation of consciousness structures, and the evolution of the individual toward a higher gestalt.

1. The Cross-Dimensional Flow of Life Force and the State of "Becoming" Seth points out that the "solidified vitality" constituting the universe is essentially fluid, and so-called "solidity" is merely an illusion ^[1]. This life force is in constant motion, and is itself part of the living substance of the universe ^[1]. When these lines of life force appear to pass from one plane to another, they actually form the boundaries of each plane and begin to be subject to the specific laws of that plane (for example, on the human level they are subject to the laws of time) ^[1]. This demonstrates the dynamic process of flux by which life force "becomes" in different dimensions and adapts to specific physical laws.

2. The Dynamic Cooperation of the Ego and the Subconscious and the Release of Energy The evolution and growth of consciousness involves the dynamic relationship between the ego and the subconscious. Seth clarifies that the two are actually one ^[2]. The subconscious, as the source of individuality and personality, shapes and projects the materialized manifestation of the ego, using it as a tool to achieve its own goals ^[2]. In the growth and flux of consciousness, when the ego pays excessive attention to daily trivialities and anxieties, this tool becomes blocked and ineffective ^[2]. Through the training of "dissociation," consciousness can clear away the blockage of the tool and return power to the place where it belongs (that is, the inner self or the freely operating subconscious), thereby enabling consciousness to utilize energy in the best possible manner and continue its dynamic evolution and practice ^[2].

3. The Gestalt Fusion of Consciousness and the Evolution of Abilities The growth of consciousness is not isolated, but a dynamic process of evolution toward a larger gestalt. Seth mentions that a human being is not merely the sum of its parts, and the union of two people also transcends the mere addition of individuals, jointly providing the energy needed for communication ^[3]. This evolution is gradual; change occurs only when the individual is ready, and the material itself prepares the individual ^[3]. The final result of this "becoming" is a "gestalt" - a fusion that brings greater abilities without diminishing individuality in the slightest, for example, directly experiencing intense inner data, or even no longer being bound by the constraints of language ^[3]. This represents the evolutionary path by which consciousness moves toward higher-level cooperation and expression in its flux.

In these excerpts from The Early Sessions, Book 2, Seth elaborates on the distinctive aspects of "becoming" - that is, the dynamic process by which the ego evolves, grows, and ultimately "becomes an entity." The discussion in this period mainly revolves around how the outer ego, through experience, conflict, creative expression, and interaction with others on the physical plane, realizes its evolution and birth into a higher conscious entity.

1. The Choice to Become an Entity and the Threshold of Comprehension

Seth points out that for a particularly powerful entity, many of its egos will make the decision to "become an entity" ^[1]. However, this "becoming" does not occur arbitrarily, but has a strict threshold. An outer ego can in no case choose to become an entity until its "comprehension" reaches a certain degree ^[1]. This original insight and original comprehension are precisely the core requirements for becoming an entity ^[2].

2. Involvement, Chaos, and the Manifestation of Uniqueness

For an ego that chooses to become an entity, this evolutionary path is not easy, but it is entirely worthwhile ^[2]. Seth emphasizes that without "involvement" as contrast and experience, the ego cannot experience its own uniqueness on this physical plane ^[2]. In order to seek order, to seek itself, and to obtain the comprehension that can bring original insight and knowledge, the ego must even "plunge into chaos" ^[2]. Commitment and involvement are the necessary ingredients for bringing one's work to the level of genius ^[2].

3. Creative Expression and "Birth"

The process of "becoming" is inseparable from the individual's creative commitment and expression. Seth points out that by exerting all of one's abilities to the utmost, the individual will in the process obtain more energy at his disposal, and this lifetime is precisely the stage of existence for making the greatest contribution ^[1]. Taking Joseph (Robert) as an example, he must devote all his strength to painting, incorporating into his works everything he has learned in this life and in past lives about human understanding, abilities, capacities, and failures, and strive to make his works seen by the world. Seth states clearly: "You must spread it abroad, and in it you will find birth" ^[1]. This process of spreading outward through creative work is the concrete path of the ego's evolution and rebirth.

4. Interaction with Others and the Expansion of Abilities

The growth of the ego and the full exertion of its abilities cannot be accomplished in isolation. Seth emphasizes that if works are hidden away, abilities cannot grow to their limit, therefore "counteraction with people" is of vital importance ^[2]. Whether poetry or painting, they must be displayed, sold, or even given away; they must be seen by people, so that the comprehension and magic within them may expand others ^[2]. This interaction with the outside world can not only promote the expansion of the ego, but is also an indispensable evolutionary impetus in the process of "becoming."

Summary In the discussion of this period, "becoming" is concretized as the difficult but worthwhile journey of "the outer ego evolving into an entity." It requires the individual to actively plunge into the experience and chaos of the physical world, and through the utmost creative expression (such as painting and poetry) and active interaction with others, to obtain original insight and comprehension, thereby realizing the unique "birth" and expansion of the self on the physical plane ^[1][2].

In a specific chapter of The Early Sessions Book 3, Seth gives the concept of "becoming" a very concrete and immediately relevant application. Unlike grand cosmological explanations, in this context Seth directly links "becoming" to the ongoing sessions and the personal states of the participants. The following are the core statements and distinctive aspects of the concept of "becoming" at this stage:

1. The sessions themselves are in a continuous state of "becoming" Seth clearly states: "Our sessions themselves are always in a state of becoming" ^[1][2]. This "becoming" means that the sessions are not a fixed, already completed entity, but a continuously evolving, flowing, and growing process. Seth and the participants hope that through this continuous state of becoming, the sessions themselves will "become more proficient" ^[1][2].

2. Guiding new abilities to maintain a healthy "becoming" In order for this process of "becoming" to proceed healthily and in an orderly manner, Seth emphasizes the proper guidance of new abilities. He does not want Ruburt (Jane) to "become overinvolved" ^[1][2]. Therefore, as part of maintaining balance, Seth prefers that Ruburt direct and confine his new abilities mainly (but not exclusively) to "our sessions" ^[1][2]. This focusing of energy and abilities helps protect the medium's safety and promotes the healthy "becoming" of the sessions within a specific framework.

3. Emotional support and confidence as catalysts for "becoming" The "becoming" and development of the sessions depend heavily on the interaction and psychological atmosphere among the participants. Seth points out that, as far as the relationship between the sessions and Ruburt is concerned, Joseph's (Rob's) love and reinforcement are indispensable ^[2]. The "atmosphere of confidence" provided by Joseph enables Ruburt to develop and expand his abilities to the greatest extent during the sessions, thereby further promoting the "becoming" and progress of the sessions themselves ^[2]. Conversely, what must be fought against is the "fear of failure," because this fear is pervasive and will hinder this process of becoming ^[2].

4. Balance and adjustment in daily life as the practical foundation of "becoming" The "becoming" of the sessions is not an ivory tower divorced from reality, but is built upon the physical and mental health of the participants and the balance of their daily lives. Seth offers many specific suggestions for adjustment, including:

5. Appropriate socializing and recreation: such as gathering with friends on weekend evenings, dancing, going outdoors, or visiting others. These activities bring excellent relaxation, and a change of environment is greatly beneficial to them ^[1].

6. Avoiding excessive experimentation: even when entertaining guests at home, they should not always conduct experiments and discussions; they need pleasant evenings without experiments ^[1].

7. Adjustments to body and routine: on days of sessions, Ruburt should rest or sleep for half an hour; both need to persist in doing exercises and maintain good eating habits ^[2]. These daily checks and balances can keep them in optimal condition, thereby providing a solid practical foundation for the continuous "becoming" of the sessions ^[2].

In summary, at this stage of The Early Sessions Book 3, "becoming" is not only an abstract philosophical concept but also a highly practical dynamic process. It is embodied in the evolution of the Seth sessions themselves, the expansion of Ruburt's abilities, and the effort to jointly maintain this channel of evolution through love, confidence, and balance in daily life.
