The Nature of Personal Reality Chapter 6: The Body of Your Faith and Its Power Structure (Part I)

Section 627

(Monday, November 13, 1972, 9:21 pm)

(Over the past few days, Jane has received many phone calls from all over the country, as well as a whole bunch of letters from all over the country, all of which have come to ask for help, hoping that Seth or Jane will help with their situation.) Some of these state that the problems are very serious, often more serious than any reasonable (let alone expedited) treatment that the three of us can provide can solve. Jane and I were often chafed at the inability to help and for the suffering of these people; apart from that, even if we could really help, if we were to help to the end, then as long as there were a few people asking for help, we would have no time to do anything else. In this case, Jane can only do her best. Not long ago she received a visitor, who in every way showed the presence of a "second personality" in him... ）

(Tonight as we waited for Seth to start class, Jane said that there are two channels open now, one about the aforementioned visitor and the other on the main text of the book.) In the end, she chose the book, because she felt that the number of people that the book could help was far greater than the number of people she could do on her own. ）

Good night.

("Goodnight Seth.") ”）

dictate. Chapter 6: (The Body of Your Faith and Its Power Structure). The above is the title of this chapter.

Veritably, you dwell in the body formed by your beliefs, and you perceive through this "belief body." Your beliefs can increase your visibility, narrow your field of vision, lift your body or weaken your hearing, or other sensory functions.

For example, if you believe that your hearing will deteriorate after a certain age, it will degenerate. You will use this ability of your own more and more, unconsciously shifting your attention to the use of other senses as a compensation for hearing loss, and gradually you will become less and less dependent on your own hearing, and finally, your hearing will really shrink.

The functioning of the body, in this case, is entirely a "habit." You are simply following your beliefs and forgetting how to use hearing correctly. The subtle controls and applications required for the use of hearing are suppressed unconsciously by you. Thus, a substantial deterioration in the body really follows. I can't hear it, not because I have a functional problem first, but because the deterioration of the function occurs later.

The same development can occur in almost any part of the body. In general, however, more than one belief is involved. Along with the aforementioned belief that "hearing will become dull," you may also have a belief that "vision will also lose," and these two beliefs may be reinforced by your other belief— "The older people get, the less useful they become, and they become unable to cope with everyday life." Note that this belief comes into play automatically to ensure that it will actually manifest. (Pause.) Conversely, if your idea is: wisdom grows with age; that an increase in self-knowledge will make one more at peace with oneself as one ages; that a keen mind makes one more adept at assessing one's environment; that the physical senses are more able to appreciate stimuli of all kinds. If you have these thoughts, these conditions will really meet you in real life, and the whole body will always be able to maintain Kangtai with your beliefs.

Again, you must understand that your thoughts or thoughts do not exist in illusions, as if there were no physical ghosts or apparitions, they are all electromagnetic realities that affect your body and are automatically transformed by your nervous system into things in your flesh and blood, or into things you experience.

(9:36.) ）

Your "conscious mind" was supposed to assess material reality and help you, now part of the tangible universe, set your course in the vast sea of people. As mentioned earlier (e.g., in the previous lesson), the rest of your whole being depends entirely on you to perform this task, allowing all the resources and energies taken by the "inner self" to be concentrated, resulting in the desired result of the conscious mind.

Effective "action power" that follows your beliefs exactly. Believing in one's own weakness and weakness is equivalent to denying one's ability to act. If you take all the beliefs that come to you, good or bad, and at best you expose yourself to the barrage of conflicting information, so that the original clarity of power and direction of action becomes a blur. At this time, the contradictory "requirements" and "assessments" are sent to the "inner self", and the "inner self" will try its best to tell you that something is wrong. "Beliefs" of a similar nature will attract each other because you have a tendency to "seek consistency" in your actions and feelings.

(Pause.) You must learn to deal directly with your beliefs, or you will be forced to deal with your beliefs indirectly—you are just reacting to them in a state of confusion and not knowing in actual experience that belief exists. When you scold an environment, situation, or situation that you really don't like, basically— and draw a line in the following sentence— you're not acting autonomously, you're reacting blindly. You are reacting to events that seem to be happening to you, and you are always "reacting" to a situation.

If you want to act independently, you must begin to act proactively on what you want it to actually happen, creating it (emphatically) in your own mind first.

What you have to do is combine "belief", "emotion", "imagination" to create a picture of what you want to happen in real life. Of course, the result you want has not yet happened in real life, and if it does, why do you need to create it? So the actual experience seems to be at every turn the opposite of the result you want to achieve, and it won't do you any good at all.

Since both "thought" and "belief" have this electromagnetic reality, the constant interaction between sharply opposed beliefs will produce many very serious "power blocks" that block the outward flow of inner energy. Sometimes it even creates a "polarization." For example, undigested beliefs, unexamined thoughts, all appear as if they have a life. These things may effectively dominate some of your range of activities.

You take a break.

(9:50 to 10:00.) ）

We move on. Not long ago, Rube saw firsthand the nature and power of "faith" translated into concrete demonstrations.

A man who lives in another state called Rube, hoping to make an appointment with him. For some reason, Rube had an urge to meet this person, so he set up a date. This man, under the supervision of his wife, came here by plane.

This man is a living case of research showing the effect of "conflicting beliefs" unchecked, when a person condones the "conscious mind" to deny its responsibility, i.e., a person becomes afraid of himself, and the possible consequences are embodied in the person—a terrible but extremely painful embodiment.

In this example, the young man, whose convictions have come to life on his own, appears to be powerless in comparison. He never tried to mediate these opposing beliefs directly until the personality itself was actually quite polarized.

(Ten points and twenty enough.) ）

You were dealing with a second personality phenomenon that could be called a "classic case." I'm here to discuss this because it so perfectly articulates the nature and power of belief and what conflicts can occur when a person refuses to take responsibility for his own thoughts. This is not a common practice – but when the content of the "conscious mind" is not examined, physically or mentally, such a "division" will occur to some extent.

When he entered the door, the man was covered in sweat and sweat, full of hostility, and posed as if he was ready to fight. He believes that the "need" to ask you for help is entirely caused by your own "weakness". As soon as he came in, he glared at our friend Rube, his eyes full of strong emotions, projecting all the energy he could project, so as to tell everyone that he would never back down, and if anyone could control the whole scene, this person was definitely him. He spoke of a personality much stronger than "himself," but he said that even if there were 150 people in the room, "himself" could make all the people in the room obey his orders. He said that the other figure in him came from other galaxies and helped and protected him as a friend.

At his behest (he said), this invisible friend killed a lawyer who, according to the man, not only did not understand the situation, but also broke the heart of the man we were discussing. For convenience, let's call this man Augustus.

For the sake of Rube, let's take a break...

(10:30.) Since the last break, Jane has been coughing intermittently. Now she was coughing harder and harder, forcing Seth to interrupt the narration—something that rarely happened. While Jane was resting, I suggested that if Seth came back, he'd better talk about the reasons behind her coughing. He really did. Unexpectedly, Seth's words filled several pieces of paper. The whole process ended at 11:43 p.m. ）
