Session 61 recorded on the evening of June 10, 1964, delves deeper into the fundamental nature of reality, challenging conventional understandings of matter, time, and existence. The core concepts discussed include the instantaneous creation of matter, the illusion of time's effect on the physical world, and the introduction of "negative intervals" as a gateway to understanding antimatter.
The True Nature of Matter and Time
Seth begins by dismantling the perception of matter as solid, static, and subject to the ravages of time. He posits that matter is not a continuous substance but is instead constantly and instantaneously being created.
- Instantaneous Creation: Matter is formed when a "cosmic wind" of energy fills non-physical patterns. This creation is not a singular event but a continuous, pulsating process. The perception of a stable, physical world is an illusion created by senses that are too slow to perceive these rapid flickers of creation and un-creation. Seth states, "Basically material is spontaneous and instantaneous... The change in it that you seem to perceive is illusion."
- Time and Causality Fallacy: The session directly refutes the idea that time causes change in matter (e.g., aging or decay). This is described as a "false cause and effect theory." The perceived changes in an object are not the result of time passing but of the constant, new creation of matter within its guiding pattern.
Consciousness as the Creator
The session takes a "giant step" by directly linking the creation of the physical world to consciousness.
- Subconscious Manifestation: Seth reveals a pivotal concept: "man himself and all conscious beings produce matter subconsciously." This radical idea places the power and responsibility for the creation of physical reality squarely with consciousness.
- Recreating the Past: Because matter is a product of consciousness filling a pattern, it is theoretically possible to recreate matter from the past, but only if "the patterns for the material have been retained." This clause is highlighted as being "extremely important."
Negative Intervals and Antimatter
Seth introduces a profound concept to explain the pulsating nature of existence: the existence of "negative intervals."
- A Pulsating Universe: The physical universe is not constantly "on." It pulses in and out of existence. For every moment it exists, there is a corresponding moment it does not. Seth explains, "There are as many intervals when your material world does not exist as there are intervals in which it does exist."
- Negative Matter: These intervals of non-existence are not empty voids; they are the realm of what Seth calls "negative matter," which he confirms is analogous to the scientific concept of antimatter. This antimatter universe exists simultaneously with ours, possessing properties like "antigravity" and existing in "anti-space." Its existence cannot be determined by conventional calculations of weight or mass.
Conclusion
Session 61 offers a framework for viewing reality not as a fixed, objective stage but as a dynamic and continuous projection of consciousness. The concepts of instantaneous creation and negative intervals challenge the foundational assumptions of classical physics and human perception, suggesting a universe far more fluid and interconnected than is commonly understood.
