4:35 a.m. Psychic interpretational structures, finally. At least, I hope so.
Is the meaning not clearer, in light of the previous discussion?
Maybe. At the moment it sounds like this: Our constitution establishes patterns in how we perceive, and therefore helps determine what we can perceive, and in relationship to what else.
That’s the idea. Your composition is more fluid than you usually realize, and your orientation is less fluid than you usually realize. You are more a point of view than a structure. Your task is more to report what reality looks like to you than to find some theoretical absolute truth. And, of course, while you are doing this, you are experiencing sequential processing, a very valuable skill in itself which is of use later.
How is “experiencing” a skill?
[They may have meant that sequential processing itself is the skill , but they took my understanding of their words and ran with it.]
What you have experienced becomes a part of you, and therefore becomes a resource that you can call upon when necessary.
I have had it vaguely in mind for a week or so, now. I think you are saying it is valuable to the non-3D to have minds that can process sequentially even when not in a 3D environment’s constrictions.
This is exactly what we mean. You all have a tendency to think that your 3D experiences refer to the condition of the 3D field that results from (or despite) your efforts. It rarely occurs to you that your 3D experiences create new units (new combinations of previous 3D units) with the ability to function in non-3D in the way they learned while in 3D.
But in the back of my mind I hear, “By now the non-3D ought to be filled with ex-3D minds. If they are all able to process sequentially, why a constant need for more?”
Your world is full of scientists, doctors, engineers, teachers, police, maintenance men – what is the need for more?
Okay, I get it, it is an on-going process.
The world grows. Not only the 3D world (though surely you can see that if the 3D grows, the All-D grows) but the non-3D. The world is always new; always being created; always a work in progress. Depending upon how you choose to see it, reality is never perfect (because there is always room for growth, always new possible arrangements) and is always perfect (because functioning just fine). It is only when you would prefer to settle for whatever you have (plus one or two trifling improvements) that you think you know better than the universe. When you come to realize that you don’t know what’s best for everyone and everything, you can begin to appreciate the perfection of continuing imperfection.
Well then, say some more about how we brighten the non-3D’s life.
You are jesting, or half-jesting, but in at least one sense, it is true that this sharpened, focused, concentrated, inured 3D consciousness is relatively brighter than those who have not gone through the 3D experience. That itself is a reason to enter 3D. From a systems viewpoint, it is a reason for various elements to go through 3D. It produces brighter, more concentrated elements of “everyday” non-3D life.
It’s true, we don’t usually think in such terms, probably because we have such a hard time envisioning life not driven by time, the way our 3D life is, nor by necessities that must be tended to.
But why assume that we have nothing we need to do? Life is always purposive, it’s just that you can’t easily envision it that way while you are thinking in terms of solids in space. That is, once you are beyond the idea that the non-3D can’t exist because by definition it has no things, you are left a bit at sea as to what it can consist of. Often you tend to think of it like outer space: somehow there, but more characterized by what it isn’t than by what it is.
You said, “Life is always purposive,” and I get the feeling that this would be the basis of a long disquisition in itself.
If you will remember to apply “As above, so below,” we can provide a few orienting hints based in 3D life.
- Every life has a unique composition of the elements all have in common. This is true psychically no less than physically.
- Every life meets circumstances that, too, are unique mixes of elements experienced in common.
- Your makeup provides you automatically with your vector. No one is everything; therefore everyone is by definition not in balance, and balance is what you naturally flow toward.
- Thus, by being born – by being combined, if we are talking about 3D beings – you are automatically created with tendencies toward some things, away from other things. This, quite regardless of your conscious purposes.
- Your lives may be seen as long attempts to move toward balance, attempts usually mostly or entirely unconscious.
- And when can you or anyone grow to encompass totality? Therefore, when should you expect to cease striving and yearning?
That’s very interesting. And if everything in the universe is similarly incomplete, well, that is what we see in 3D, everybody striving, contending, cooperating, and therefore loving and hating and growing and shrinking. Good self-portrait. But if the 3D world is not really the end to which 3D life is aimed, what is non-3D’s end?
For one thing, you are overlooking the fact that 3D life contains more than merely human life: It is everything in it, all kingdoms. They all have their strivings, and nothing is unimportant.
Hard to think of mountains or oceans or clouds having strivings.
Have you ever heard of entropy?
Hmm. I guess “striving” calls to mind intention.
Your innate nature is your intention. Your conscious motivation may or may not reflet your deepest intention.
So a mountain intends to become rubble?
It strives to be mineral, and whatever happens to mineral is its life. When prospectors pan for gold, or dig deeply into a mountainside and extract ore, do you suppose the mountain objects? Or cheers? Or even takes note? It doesn’t have that kind of consciousness. Nor does it experience itself as a unit. That doesn’t begin to happen until the plant kingdom. Its life is what happens to it, and maybe the only meaningful thing that happens to it is that it endures, it helps hold the psychic space, as we said to you some while ago. “Man is the measure of all things,” but that doesn’t mean that everything man measures ought to be measured as if it were man. It means, draw your analogies.
I thought this session would center on psychic interpretational structures, but it has gone off in another direction.
Yes and no. Consider this, see if you can make sense of it. Mountains have their own psychic interpretational structure. So does every link in the chain of being. Different for each link, and different for each individual in each link, at least as you move up the chain, but still each link has its characteristics.
So, mountains have a life in non-3D?
Don’t over-generalize. By being in 3D, they are automatically in non-3D too, of course. But in the sense you mean, all we will say is that everything is mind-stuff. You may wish to see minerals as mind-stuff frozen into form, and angels as mind-stuff entirely without form, and all the intermediary kingdoms in between.
Perhaps we will resume by taking a closer look at the representation of non-3D that is the 3D world.
Looking forward to it. Thanks as always for all this.
