creation of reality

Creation of Reality (creation of reality) Topical Archive

1. What are Seth's specific claims about this concept? How many times did he state them, in which books, and did the wording change over the years?

The material does not address this.

2. What mechanism does he provide?

The material does not address this.

3. Are there observable inferences or explicit predictions (including time, quantity, conditions)?

• Seth explicitly states that when the nature of reality is understood, predictions of "future events" become essentially meaningless; there is no oracle that will say "this will happen at 8:05 on February 15th" [early-class-3 §?].

• Even if one can "tune into certain probabilities and predict that they will occur," free will is always operating, so a fixed point in time cannot be given [early-class-3 §?].

• Within a limited framework, so-called "predictions" can hold and have a certain degree of workability, but at a deeper level no action is set as unchangeable [unknown-reality-1 §704].

• For an event to become a physical event, certain conditions must be met: it must fall into the proper time and space slots, and there must be a psychological fit reaching a certain intensity—where "intensity" here does not mean effort or strong desire, but rather an aggregation of the invisible nature of precisely aimed physical activity [nature-of-psyche §789].

• A physical event means gathering forces that are fundamentally nonphysical into an organization that initially exists outside the space-time background; the final triggering may come from the waking or dream state, representing the last necessary factor, namely the stimulation of inspiration, desire, or purpose [nature-of-psyche §789].

• Seth's "observable inference" here focuses more on the mechanism of formation from the electric universe to the physical universe: you not only predict so-called future events, but you also create their reality in the electric field, thereby ensuring their existence in the physical field in various ways [early-sessions-3 §127].

• The material states that your measurement of physical time is actually a measurement of intensity, and "your creations in the electric universe will, so to speak, appear as future events in the physical universe" [early-sessions-3 §127].

• Regarding prediction itself, the material suggests that the distortion can be observed through a "daily prediction experiment," because you will see the difference between predicted events and actual events [early-sessions-3 §127].

• Seth acknowledges that within a limited framework, predictions (such as tornado warnings or earthquake predictions) can hold and have a certain workability [unknown-reality-1 §704].

• But he emphasizes that individuals do not need scientific instruments to perceive such phenomena; many animals are aware of such phenomena without instruments [unknown-reality-1 §704].

• The material provides no observable explicit predictions (such as specific times, quantities, or statistically repeatable conditions); its emphasis is on arguing for the importance of "conditions and psychological intensity," rather than providing quantifiable predictive indicators.

4. Where does he say the science of his time went wrong, and in what direction should it look?

• Science treats the universe as a closed system and, according to the second law of thermodynamics, asserts that energy will ultimately dissipate and the universe will decline toward demise; Seth points out that "the laws of the so-called camouflage universe do not apply to the inner universe," that energy (consciousness) is constantly exchanged between systems, and that there is no closed system. Hence the reliability of that law stems from the limited physical interpretation produced through our central nervous system, and is not a fundamental truth [unknown-reality-2 §744].

• Darwinian evolution explains the origin of life through natural selection, excluding the role of design or consciousness; Seth explicitly states that "consciousness always creates form, not the other way around," that evolution is closely tied to religion, and that science has ignored the central role of consciousness in evolution [unknown-reality-2 §744].

• Science believes dead matter can automatically transform into life, but there is a fundamental contradiction in protein synthesis: life requires proteins to sustain itself, but before life appeared, who made the proteins? Protein-like substances are not truly biological proteins and cannot give rise to life [unknown-reality-2 §744].

• The fossil record is missing a large number of intermediate transitional forms, which leaves gradual evolutionary theory without evidentiary support [unknown-reality-2 §744].

• Modern science in fields such as genetic engineering remains far from the idea that "each consciousness creates its own reality"; Seth points out that even recombinant DNA is a combination of multiple consciousnesses, and science has not considered the role of consciousness within it [unknown-reality-2 §744].

• Science should abandon thinking of physical reality solely in terms of particles or waves, and must turn to recognizing "consciousness" and its aggregative forms; in Session 702, Seth says: "As long as you think in terms of (subatomic) particles, you are fundamentally off track... you are ignoring the reality of consciousness and its aggregative formation and manifestation," and knowledge will not break through until one comprehends the consciousness behind anything visible or invisible [unknown-reality-1 §702].

• The research direction should point toward what Seth calls "electromagnetic energy units (EE units)" and "units of consciousness (CUs)." These are not physical, are extremely small in scale, and cannot be detected by current technology; but if science acknowledged them, it would acknowledge that all matter is composed of conscious entities [unknown-reality-2 §744].

• The future true "psychical physicist" will be able to flow into inner reality with consciousness itself, needing no instruments, relying only on the mind; in Session 701, Seth mentions that such a scientist could "let his consciousness flow into many open doors," and gives the example of Ruburt projecting consciousness into tiny physical instruments [unknown-reality-1 §702] (note: Session 701 appears in the material as a citation, but the material itself is from Session 702; the actual source is unknown-reality-1 §702? Looking carefully at the material: in unknown-reality-1 §702, there is a passage "Seth discussed how in our future such a scientist will be able to allow 'his consciousness to flow into the many open doors...'" but that passage comes from a note in Appendix 12, citing Session 701 of Volume 1? The material explicitly states "See the information on 'the true mental physicist' in Session 701 for Volume 1." So the content comes from unknown-reality-1 §701, but we only have the §702 excerpt in the question; however the book contains 701? Yet the title comparison shows only two volumes, with session numbers marked according to the material. For accuracy, we cite unknown-reality-1 §702, because in the material that passage is located in the annotation following Section 702? Actually the text in <material> states "18. See the information on 'the true mental physicist' in Session 701 for Volume 1..." That is a note, but in the question we are given <material> as two passages: the first is unknown-reality-2 §744, and the second is unknown-reality-1 §702, but the second passage contains content citing 701. To avoid confusion, we only cite the session numbers that explicitly appear in the material. Session 702 itself contains discussion about consciousness, so we cite Section 702.

• Science should study the relationship between consciousness and form, understanding that "the physical world is composed of invisible patterns that are 'malleable,' with the final form determined by consciousness guiding probabilities," and that the senses determine the form presented [unknown-reality-2 §744] (from Session 803, but that was added later; the source should be unknown-reality-2 §744? Because that passage is in Appendix 12, but the session number is 744? Actually the sentence in <material> comes from "From Session 803:", but it is overall in the appendix of unknown-reality-2 §744. We cite unknown-reality-2 §744).

5. What experiments or exercises did he suggest? What did Jane and Rob actually do at the time, and what did they observe?

• Seth encouraged trying various experiments on one's own, and explicitly stated, "You can try any experiments you want on your own. Treat it as homework," adding that one could thereby train one's abilities to a certain degree [early-sessions-1 §SESSION OF JANUARY 4, 1964].

• Seth explained the operating principle of the first inner sense: it involves "immediate perception of direct qualities," like perceiving cold or heat, through "inner vibrational touch" for instant cognition [dreams-projections §2]. Based on this information, Jane and Rob began experimenting with the first inner sense [dreams-projections §2].

• Rob's first inner sense experiment: After typing up the material on the first inner sense, Rob conducted a simple deliberate experiment. He first observed various objects in the living room (a vase, paintings on the wall, plants, etc.) and tried to let his "mind's eye" circle around them in order to clearly imagine their backs. Then, standing at the window, he looked out toward the Walnut Street Bridge, visualized himself walking across the bridge, feeling the wooden planks beneath his feet, passing the signal light at the end of the bridge, continuing along the street, and finally attempting to "feel" the houses and trees he passed with his "inner touch" [dreams-projections §2]. In a later session, Seth told Rob he had done well and suggested he practice this exercise regularly [dreams-projections §2].

• Rob's spontaneous vision: On a Saturday afternoon while working in his studio, a clear and vivid vision suddenly appeared. He "knew" he was seeing the bedroom where his brother Dick had died in a previous life in England. The vision was so clear that Rob immediately drew a sketch. In the session that evening, Seth told him he had only seen part of the room, and described the rest of it along with more details of Dick's English life [dreams-projections §2].

• Jane's "Idea Construction" experience: Jane underwent an experience called "Idea Construction," in which intrusive subconscious material was pushed into consciousness during the waking state; its theory and energy not only changed her life but also affected others, and ultimately led her to accept Seth and the sessions [dreams-projections §1]. After this experience, Jane entered a period of intense creative activity and began writing a new book [dreams-projections §1].

• Jane's inner speech response experiment: While washing dishes alone in the kitchen, Jane mentally refused Seth's appearance out of concern that she would easily enter a trance state. She inwardly wondered whether Seth would comment on the publisher's letter she had received, and immediately received a clear inner reply: "Are you gluttons for punishment?" Thereafter, she communicated with Seth through inner speech in a question-and-answer manner, and observed that this was not her own thought [dreams-projections §2].

• Ouija board contact with Seth: After Jane's "Idea Construction" experience, Rob suggested she try "experiments" in ESP and consciousness expansion and write them up as a book. These experiments were extremely successful and led, through the Ouija board, to their first contact with Seth. Only after using the Ouija board four times did Seth formally announce himself, and in the middle of the eighth session, Jane began speaking for him [dreams-projections §1]. The first message given through the Ouija board came from a personality called Frank Withers, and some of the details that personality mentioned (such as knowing neighbor Miss Cunningham and one of Jane's elderly colleagues) were partially confirmed upon Jane's careful verification [dreams-projections §1].

• Experiment without Seth present (visual phenomena in darkness): After Seth suggested they try different things, Jane and Rob conducted an experiment: in a dark room, they placed Jane's wedding ring (later replaced by a pin) on black cloth, sat facing each other with hands flat on the cloth, and attempted to sit quietly. They found that during the sitting, Jane observed her own hand and the metal pin would "disappear"—that is, she could no longer see them—yet she was not worried that they did not exist. They later discovered that some form of communication or conversation was a necessary condition for the phenomenon to occur, and finally, through a question-and-answer format, Jane spontaneously produced a detailed narrative about Sarah Wellington dying from burns in 1748 [early-sessions-1 §SESSION OF JANUARY 4, 1964].

• Seth's preferred mode of communication: When Jane asked him, after the kitchen inner-dialogue episode, why he did not use automatic writing or other means of communication, Seth replied that this manner of speaking suited his temperament, that he did not trust written words as much as spoken words, and that he loved conversation as the most vivid of arts [dreams-projections §2].

6. What supplementary or contradictory concepts do other notions in the corpus provide in relation to this concept?

• Reality is created through the individual's feelings, thoughts, and psychological actions, which are materialized not only as physical reality but may also be actualized in the system of probabilities. [seth-speaks §17]
• Consciousness precedes matter and creates and continuously creates the physical universe; the physical universe is the result of consciousness, not the reverse. [esp-power §3]
• The individual forms his or her own personal life and participates in the creation of mass reality; reality is the materialization of thoughts, emotions, and images, and the inner self constitutes the world. [unknown-reality-2 §742]
• Inner reality is the creative source of physical reality, but physical laws remain inviolable at their own level. [nature-of-psyche §759]
• The visible universe did not begin from a single point or initial cell; rather, consciousness exists simultaneously at every imaginable point; the physical universe gushes forth from the invisible universe and is continuously renewed by consciousness. [nature-of-psyche §797]

7. Questions not yet asked

1. Can Seth's "electromagnetic energy units (EE units)" and "units of consciousness (CUs)" be operationalized into measurable parameters in neuroscience? For example, designing experiments to test statistical associations between EE units and brain gamma oscillations or quantum coherence.
2. Seth suggests that a "daily prediction experiment" can observe the difference between predictions and actual events. Could a double-blind randomized controlled trial be designed comparing hit rates in predicting random number sequences among individuals at different meditation training levels, to test consciousness's real-time influence on probability fields?
3. Seth claims animals can perceive natural phenomena such as earthquakes without instruments. Could a longitudinal animal behavior monitoring experiment be designed, recording the timing of pre-earthquake abnormal animal behavior relative to physical signals such as seismic waves and electromagnetic background, to test whether it aligns with what Seth calls "inner vibrational touch"?
4. Seth predicts that future "psychical physicists" will be able to flow directly into tiny instruments with consciousness. Could an experiment be designed in which trained individuals attempt to alter the output entropy of a quantum random number generator (QRNG), compared against a control group, to verify a direct effect of consciousness on quantum measurement outcomes?
