There follows a review of what has been covered to d...2024-01-1116 minLessons From The Helpful DeadThe Blueprints in You for Making Real Your Most Favorable VersionEvery probability system has its own set of blueprints for realizing its most favorable version. Theses are not "images of perfection" cast in stone that cannot be changed. Rather, they are working models that can be changed with circumstances. They are the realization of ideas, or "idealizations." They exist biologically, psychically, mentally, spiritually, apart from our world but also inside it. The physical structures, the genes and chromosomes, are in fact carriers of information. The role of the human race is not merely to try to create these ideas in the physical world, but rather, to take part in...2023-12-3115 minLessons From The Helpful DeadWe've Forgotten that We Can Travel Through Time and Experience Our Full PotentialThis session uses a Seth analogy to explain that times are in many ways just like places, and we can travel through them just as we travel through space. Who we really are is not just the one focus personality we know as ourselves, but rather, we are our Big Self, Soul, Psyche, whatever you wish to call it, expressing itself in our earth experience. That Self who we are is so vast in potential and capabilities that it cannot be expressed in just one time and place in one human personality. Rather, so vast is its scope that...2023-12-1816 minLessons From The Helpful DeadWe're All Multidimensional, Continually Impacted by Probable SelvesEach of us as individuals, and collectively all of us as a species, are continually impacted by probable selves and their experiences. The one focus personality we present to the world is far more multidimensional than it appears. All probable selves are connected, but each has its own free will and uniqueness. All of the powers, abilities and charcteristics inherent in the species are inherent in any individual member of it. (You can think about that in positive or negative terms, since each of us can choose to focus on what we wish to experience.) We accept as real...2023-12-0116 minLessons From The Helpful DeadOur Bodies are "Probable Constructs" & We are "Significance-Making Creatures"In this session a number of complex ideas are presented, hopefully made understandable by Seth's examples. Briefly, probable events continually interact, and by choosing to bring one probability into our existence, and ignoring all the others, we make one seemingly stable, constant reality the one we experience. EE units, however, and atoms, molecules and cells, are aware of these other ignored probabilities, and our bodies exist as they do only because they (atoms, cells, etc.) are appearing at a certain point of probabilities. At other levels our bodies exist differently. The integrity of our bodies therefore comes from outside...2023-11-2419 minLessons From The Helpful DeadExample of Probabilities Working in Daily Lives, Even With the DeadBecause the existence of probabilities is so important and fundamental to any understanding of the larger underlying realities supporting the one we recognize, this episode presents Seth's description of how probabilities work in our daily lives, even though we are unaware of it, attributing many events instead to "coincidence." This particular example involves the real estate search by Jane's husband Rob, and the influences of his mother, who at that time had died a number of years ago.2023-11-1516 minLessons From The Helpful DeadDouble Dreaming & Our Limited Concept of OurselvesWhen Jane Roberts' husband, Rob, awoke one day and realized he could recall parts of two dreams smultaneously, he spoke with others who had a greater ability to do this than he had. The entity Seth explained Rob's experience in terms of the experience of his "Big Self," who is aware of the experience of all it "parts." This led to a discussion of how we need to keep our limited notions of who we really are at the same time that we gradually become aware of the greater dimensions of our own being. As we do become aware...2023-11-0117 minLessons From The Helpful DeadYou & Your Possible Involvement in the Israeli-Hamas WarAs you know from past episodes, and from my books, you and I are Focus Personalities, and the Big You, which might also be termed the Soul or Psyche, is a spirit who has many such Focus Personalities going on in various centuries, with varying characteristics. Those focused in our present are termed "Counterparts." With the horrors of war impressed on our senses each day, we have to ask ourselves, is there a Counterpart of ourselves who is involved in the Israeli-Hamas war, perhaps participating as a member of Hamas? This brief episode goes more deeply into the possibility...2023-10-1809 minLessons From The Helpful DeadPrecognitive Abilities of Cells, Us & Animals. "Angel-Birds" & "Earth Gods"The precognitive abilities of consciousness units and cells provide us with precognitive abilities, and each of us has an idealized version of ourselves, an energy force, that propels us toward that version, consistent with the fulfillment of our values. All species have this same invisible energy force, including flora and fauna. In ancient times there were birds with high intelligence who saved human babies falling from cliffside dwellings, and the memory of them turned into angel images. Each human has such invisible energy forces, previously mentioned as an "inner self," that guides us toward a future idealized version of...2023-10-1317 minLessons From The Helpful DeadThe God Concept & Wars & Our Future DevelopmentSeth emphasized that the human race has plans for itself based on its comprehensions of idealized probable future developments. The war that has just broken out in Israel is based on religious concepts where there are different notions of God. Seth makes the point that our god concepts change as our consciousness evolves. The religious concepts in turn affect the type of civilization we choose to experience. Martin Luther, he explains, is just as responsible for the USA as George Washington is, and because of Christ there was an England and an Industrial Revolution. In western civilization, he points...2023-10-0916 minLessons From The Helpful DeadThe Future Pulls More Strongly than the Past Pushes & Interspecies CommunicationThe consciousness units (CUs) that are the basic building blocks of our reality are aware of probable pasts and futures, which they experience as an all-encompassing Now. They are acquainted with all probable developments regardless of "time." They are aware of so much in their "freewheeling nature" that they make possible the transference of lessons learned from one species to another. Evolution as we understand it does not exist. Instead there are parallel developments outside of "time," and the CUs are aware of them, but do not experience them as past or future. Our thoughts and feelings are quite...2023-10-0411 minLessons From The Helpful Dead30 to 50 Million Years Ago ......Some popular and interesting TV programs currently speculate about whether ancient aliens visited our planet in ancient times and influenced mankind's development, so that ancient cultures revered them as gods. As insightful and interesting as those program are, there are two things the authors do not understand. First, outside of our earth experience, there is no time; and second, we are all "ancient aliens!" As spirits we visit the earth in various time periods as suits our purposes. Seth explains that 30 to 50 million years ago there were all sorts of experiments that consciousness took, materializing in all sorts of...2023-09-2513 minLessons From The Helpful DeadOur World's Biggest Mass Murderer & Consciousness UnitsThe biggest mass murderer in our civilization is Mao Zedong, who killed over 50 million Chinese during his 41-year reign as head of the Chinese Communist Party. How are we to think about that? You'll decide for yourself, but it's good to keep in mind when confronting that reality, that ours is a Human Time-Space Illusion, and the events we perceive with our 5 physical senses are just a tiny part of much bigger events, of which we are unaware. More important, it is good to remember that no one ever dies. They simply change form, from material to pure spirit...2023-09-1318 minLessons From The Helpful DeadBecome Aware of Other Realities ... Or ElseWhile 99% of Seth's input is upifting and positive, there are some passages that describe a potentially negative development if we as a race choose one line of development and not another. In this session the focus is on Seth's warning, given 50 of our earth years ago, that we are at a stage of development where we need to become aware of far more realities than those we currently perceive, including past and future probabilities, or the race as we know it in this probability will not endure, though it might endure in other probabilities, and we as eternal spirits...2023-08-2613 minLessons From The Helpful DeadThe Power of the Will & How James Doty Used It Against All OddsSeth explains that our will to bring about what we want is very powerful. This session is devoted to summarizing the story of James R. Doty and how he used the power of his will, combined with affirmations and visualizations, to gain entrance to medical school and the Neurosurgery Program at Walter Reed, against great odds, where many others were better qualified. It then recounts how he became a respected brain surgeon and a wealthy man, then lost all his wealth. This caused him to reflect on his beliefs and values, and he subsequently directed his life toward helping...2023-08-2212 minLessons From The Helpful DeadHow Worlds are Initially Created ... and a SongIn 1974 Seth suggested a project where Jane Roberts' class members would create a "city" at another level of reality. It was to be a psychic marketplace between worlds where ideas were exchanged, a place of psychic commerce, a pleasant environment with definite coordinates, a kind of "orbiting satellite" on the outskirts of our world. He then explained that initially, all worlds were created in just such a fashion. He then explained that thoughts, when they leave our minds, have their own validity and force, and follow their own laws and realities. A related concept is that any given object...2023-08-1412 minLessons From The Helpful DeadThe Universe is Not ExpandingThe universe is not expanding as many scientists think it is. The universe cannot be measured in terms they think it can. The expansion is an illusion. The universe could be said to expand the way a dream or an idea does, not limited by time or space. It is well for us to remember that our present awareness is limited by the focus of our five physical senses. When we have reached the stage of advancement where we understand we are co-creators of what we experience by focusing with intensity, we will realize what we are experiencing is...2023-08-1111 minLessons From The Helpful DeadSpace Travel, Life on Other Planets & Galaxies, and Our Current LimitationsCurrently there is a lot of attention paid to space travel, UFOs, and life on other planets or beyond. Unfortunately, we are focused on traveling on the surface of space, rather than though it, as time/space travelers Joe McMoneagle and Bob Monroe have done. When we understand the things that the entity Seth explains here, and have developed abilities accordingly, we will be able to visit planets and experience not just their present, but their past and future as well. Instead of seeing a barren, rocky planet devoid of life, we might also experience its past or future...2023-08-0116 minLessons From The Helpful DeadYou Are Affected by the Lives of Other Parts of the Big YouWe seldom stop to think about whether, how, and to what extent our lives and thoughts are impacted by the experiences of other focus personalities who are part of the same Big You. Here Seth explains how you are frequently affected by the events and thoughts of other parts of your Big Self, using analogies to make the point. His example is entertaining and informative.2023-07-3110 minLessons From The Helpful DeadWorrying is Not Helpful for Us Focus PersonalitiesIf you find yourself worrying about all the negative events in this probable world we're in, or worrying about your personal situation, remember, you are a Focus Personality, that part of your Bigger Self that is focused on our Human Time-Space Illusion, HTSI. Remember too that in HTSI all events just are - past, present, future and all probable events just are - and we can choose to focus on whatever event we want to make real in our experience. We can do that with our thoughts. Worrying is directed thought, and it is usually directed toward negative probabilities...2023-07-2508 minLessons From The Helpful DeadWhere Does a Thought Go When It Leaves Our Mind & How Many Forms Can It Take?These are two questions that few of us have ever given much "thought" to, but the answers given to us by the Seth entity can make you realize they are key to knowing our consciousness is not trapped in our bodies.2023-07-1212 minLessons From The Helpful DeadHow God is Like Fireworks & the Electric Grid -- and Why It MattersAs a primary energy gestalt of unimaginable power and creativity, God did not create just one planet or one universe when it freed all creation and allowed it to manifest with free will. Like the fireworks that continually explode to reveal still more fireworks in succeeding explosions, and like the electric grid where all parts are connected but we can still have a power outage in a small or a large part of it, God created many universes and many realities, some with material form and some with no form. It is important for us to begin to understand...2023-07-1017 minLessons From The Helpful DeadThings Just Aren't the Way We Think They AreWe all come in not as helpless babies, but with a lot of different types of talents. The moon and stars and planets we admire so much for their beauty are only illusions, but very useful ones. They are mental and psychic events, not physical, when perceived by more advanced spirits. We are not just our consciousness. It is one of our characteristics. As we continue to grow and advance, we'll be able to preceive things in various ways that aren't like what we experience now. Each emotion and thought has its own unique electromagnetic reality. Did you know...2023-06-2117 minLessons From The Helpful DeadReparations, Racial Divisions & The Big PictureCurrent major social issues are considered here in light of the Big Picture Perspective. Reparations, racial divisions, interracial marriage and the worthiness or not of China under the Chinese Commuist Party are considered in light of the basics of what the Helpful Dead have told us. This includes the notion of the Big Self, focus personalities, choosing your parents while still a spirit, the Human Time-Space Illusion, probable selves and countries, free will and the Primal Dilemma, the Law of Attraction, focus vs. cause and effect, and the victim/victor choice.2023-06-1916 minLessons From The Helpful DeadGod, the World Economic Forum, and WHO - ContradictionsThe World Economic Forum, a powerful gathering of the "global elite," holds up China as an ideal model nation. Its CEO Klaus Schwab and Trudeau,the present ruler of Canada, recently spoke glowingly of China and what it stands for. China as we know it today is Communist, founded on Marxist ideals, and Marx insisted that any notion of God and the concept of the nuclear family were to be abolished. The World Health Organization considers the human race to be a blight upon the earth. All of these notions contradict what Seth has explained about the nature of...2023-06-1230 minLessons From The Helpful DeadCivilizations Not Like OursSeth often described civilizations not like ours. In this episode the focus is on a few of them, with implications for us you might think about. Consciousness has great leeway in how it expresses itself when connected with the flesh. There have been highly developed, sophisticated civilizations that we might consider backward, because their main orientation was mental and psychic, not physical as ours is. Other civilizations "hibernate" for centuries of our time, to reawaken when the time is right. There is also a discussion of how our bodies die many times before the "official death" we accept as...2023-06-0715 minLessons From The Helpful DeadCode Systems, Zombie Civilizations & Those that Lived Much Longer than We Do, in Perfect HealthConsciousness differentiates itself via Code Systems that support alternate realities, but all of them are related. We have the latent capabilities to operate as others in alternate realities do. Some of them would appear to us as "Zombie Civilizations," where the main focus is on what we would call the dream world, while physical bodies are left to fend for themselves, where they are as agile as any animal. In still other realities, the inhabitants live much longer than we do, and in perfect health, because they do not saddle themselves with negative beliefs.2023-06-0217 minLessons From The Helpful DeadSimilarities Between Seth's Environment and OursHere we read selected Seth comments on his environment, with emphasis on some of the similarities between that environment and ours. Topics include, among other things, that we are developing toward the same kind of existence he knows, and both environments are changing constantly, though we are less aware of it. He also discusses our mistaken notion of permanence, whether in structures or anything else. He explains there is no end to their environment, with only one simple, cozy universe in which to hide, and observes that at our level of development, we could not cope with such a...2023-05-3024 minLessons From The Helpful DeadThe Environment in which Seth Exists and ActsSince we will rely heavily on input from the entity Seth who spoke through Jane Roberts, it is helpful to understand the environment in which this spirit entity, a teacher, exists. The reality in which "he" and others of his teaching group exist, operate and experience is so different from ours by orders of magnitude, that we much stretch our imaginations to attempt to understand it. They have no attachment to form, for example, and can take on any form they wish. They have no permanent structures and can create what they want whenever they want. They do not...2023-05-2519 minLessons From The Helpful DeadImpressive Memories of Consciousness Units & Your Role in the Future of the Human SpeciesThe Consciousness Units that are within all matter have a memory bank that would far surpass any computer's. They work with probabilities inside and outside the body, making numerous calculations and predictions before any of us could lift a finger or take one step. Your individual goals and the actions you take to achieve them, taking one probable action instead of another on a daily basis, affect the future experience of the entire human species. In dreams we experience what would happen if we choose one probability over another, and the next day we choose one and make that...2023-05-2414 minLessons From The Helpful DeadEvolution, Time, Nuclear Disaster, Reptilian People, Cell Consciousness for Healing & MoreIn Session 705 dictated in June 1974, the Seth entity started with a discussion of evolution, which expanded to include time, survival of the fittest, cooperation among the mineral, vegetable and animal kingdoms, consciousness forming matter, probabilities, the memory capabilities of atoms, molecules and cells, nuclear disaster, mutant life, reptilian men and women, the future development of our species being based largely on our personal beliefs, and how the cells' comprehension straddling time contributes to self-healing of humans.2023-05-1819 minLessons From The Helpful DeadAn Introduction to Jane RobertsSince future sesions will rely heavily on input from the Seth entity channeled by Jane Roberts, you the listener deserve to learn about the character, intellect and purposes of Jane Roberts in her own words, so you can judge for yourself whether she is someone whose input you can take seriously. The best way to do that is to hear her words as she wrote them in Chapter 1 of the book, "The God of Jane." In this session I will read that chapter word for word. In my opinion, based on these words and hundreds of other remarks Jane...2023-05-1018 minLessons From The Helpful DeadThe Role of Ideas in Creating What We ExperienceTo get some kind of understanding about how we might create what we experience in the 3rd stage of our development, it is necessary to look at the role of ideas. Here we discuss that nothing material comes about without first having been an idea, and that ideas are more real than our material reality. Seth's explanation of how matter is formed from electromagnetic energy units (EEUs) is reviewed, as well as the power of our thoughts and emotions in giving those EEUs sufficient power to become matter. Then you are invited to share in the imaginative exploration of...2023-05-0324 minLessons From The Helpful DeadStep 3 - Understanding That We Create What We ExperienceIn our progress toward advancing as a human race, the 3rd step is understanding what we experience. This does not refer to what is known as the "law of attraction," which has been practiced by thousands. Rather it is the concept that we can physically materialize whatever we wish to experience, as Jesus did when he created the "loaves and fishes" to feed a large crowd. It is doubtful that many of us will have attained that ability in the next 55 or 60 years, and today we have no verifiable examples of any human having that ability. Nevertheless, there are...2023-04-3021 minLessons From The Helpful DeadReal Life Examples of How Probable Selves InteractIn a recent session probable selves were discussed, but perhaps on too conceptual a level. Here we take a look at the entity Seth explaining to Jane (who channeled Seth) and her husband Rob how probable selves interacted in the lives of Rob's parents and in Jane's life. You are prompted to think of how your own probable selves might be interacting with you.2023-04-2516 minLessons From The Helpful DeadInteracting With Other Realities - Helpful Intelligent SpeciesIn this phase of the 2nd step, we'll not only travel routinely with our consciousness outside of our bodies, but we'll also interact with other realities. In some of them we'll be guided by intelligent species who are like guardian angels, intent on helping us advance. They will help us realize it does no good to focus on past instances where we acted in a way we now regret. Far better to focus on probabilities where we act in a way we're proud of. Events after all, they explain, just are. They are illusions meant to help us learn...2023-04-2323 minLessons From The Helpful DeadDiscovering Who We Really AreAs discussed previously, the first step in reaching the 2075 reality is for many of us to routinely have out-of-body experiences. The first part of the 2nd step is to discover who we truly are. That includes probable selves, incarnational selves in other time periods, our inner self and Big Self. When we do discover them, the implications are enormous, and they are discussed here.2023-04-2016 minLessons From The Helpful DeadHow Do We Get from Here to 2075? The First StepIf by 2075 we are supposed to be aware that we are spirits who are aware of our much larger existence in many realities, how can we get there in just a little over 50 years? To many that would seem impossible, especially given the state of the world today. But it is possible, and the first step will be that many of us will realize we can travel with our consciousness outside of our body. When we do, we'll realize some or all of the 10 major benefits reported by over 16,000 people surveyed over 12 years by Bill Buhlman. Those benefits are...2023-04-1920 minLessons From The Helpful DeadWhy Christ NOT Being Crucified is Important for UsBelieving that Christ was crucified means believing in a world where we are sinners, via original sin and subsequent acts, and need forgiveness and salvation to be granted to us by an all-powerful God who has the power to either reward us, or sentence us to eternal punishment if we don't behave properly. Believing in Christ Triumphant, who did not want to promote the reward-punishment notion of God, enables us to free ourselves from self-imposed limits and get started on the journey to realizing that we are powerful eternal spirits who co-create what we experience, and that we can...2023-04-1517 minLessons From The Helpful DeadChrist Was Crucified & Christ Was Not CrucifiedHow can this be, you ask? Because there is more than one reality. There is the reality we all perceive every day with our senses, physical reality that we all agree on. And there is the reality of thoughts. The thoughts of millions of people over the past 2000 years, based on their belief in the Crucifixion, has had a far more powerful impact on our physical reality than what actually happened in the physical reality of over 2000 years ago. This thought-reality has served us well and has been resonsible for untold millions of positive acts over the years, but...2023-04-1417 minLessons From The Helpful DeadChrist Was Not Crucified, Thank GodWhy does it matter whether Jesus Christ was crucified or not? Because Christianity as we know it today has been an extremely positive religion that has inspired many to do positive things, and has served us well for over 2000 years, but it places limits on us that prevent us from realizing we are powerful, eternal spirits who co-create what we experience. If instead we begin to understand and adhere to the notion of Christ Triumphant instead of Christ Crucified, we will have a more positive idea of who or what God is, and come closer to understanding God's true...2023-04-1213 minLessons From The Helpful DeadWhy the Tourist Notion is Important & The Job to be DoneTo fully appreciate the full power and breadth of ourselves, we need to get past the idea that we are limited to some sort of form, and are limited to existing only in time, so that there might be some end to our existence. Imagine the freedom and joy you experience when you realize you are a powerful, eternal spirit who is right now co-creating thousands of beautiful, inspiring, super-enjoyable universes, both physical and non-physical. To achieve this, we need to start realizing we are unlimited and we create the reality we experience. Getting a lot of us to...2023-04-1125 minLessons From The Helpful DeadRealities Beyond the Reincarnational Reality We KnowOur existence and experience beyond the reincarnational reality we know now is vast. We exist in realities where there is consciousness, but no form, for example, and no division into male and female. There is an infinite variety of experiences and environments that exist right now. Us souls (that's who we are) are multidimensional, infinite acts, with each minute probability brought into existence somewhere. We are all in a giant web of probabilities, where we affect other realities with our thoughts and emotions and we are also the recipients of signals and energies coming from others. In some evil d...2023-04-1013 minLessons From The Helpful DeadA Song, Quantum Physicists & Agricultural ScientistsThis session starts by asking you to try your hand at creating a melody for words to a song about how reality is formed. Then there is a review of some of the Fantastic Forty conclusions of quantum physicists that agree with the entity Seth's explanation of how matter is formed and how we create the reality we experience. This is followed by a discussion of the conclusions of scientists in other fields, especially agriculture, in many countries around the world, that agree with the quantum physicists and Seth.2023-04-0919 minLessons From The Helpful DeadAlternate States of ConsciousnessWe don't alter our consciousness, but we do alter the stages, or states, of our consciousness. There are at least five of them. In one stage, A1, we can enter the physical body of another with our consciousness and heal it, manipulating matter from the inside. In A2 our reincarnational pasts are known to us and in A3 we can perceive and experience the history of our planet. A4 is spirit-focused, beneath the formation of matter, and it is here that our deepest inspirations come from. A5 is the state used by mediums, and it is here that the...2023-04-0613 minLessons From The Helpful DeadEvolution Has No Real Validity & How Matter is Formed from ConsciousnessScientists wo believe consciousness developed as a result of matter coalescing until it reached a critical mass are mistaken. It is consciousness that evolves and manifests as matter. Consciousness forms matter, not the other way around. It does this through electromagentic energy units (EEUs). Thoughts and emotions are emanations of consciousness, and when they reach a certain level of intensity, they manifest as matter. Without consciousness there would be no matter in the universe. Everything has consciousness, albeit at different levels of complexity. Complicated physical forms are not the result of previous simpler ones. In larger terms they all e...2023-04-0523 minLessons From The Helpful DeadEarlier Civilizations, Dream Realities & Connections Between RealitiesThere have been other great scientific civilizations on earth that have vanished. Some could now be thought of as "earth gods" who care about our well being. Some used sound for healing, for wars, and for moving object of great size and weight. In dreams we try out various probabilities to help us decide which one we want to bring into our waking awareness. The dream reality is real, and some personalities we have been close to for a long time in the dream reality might be strangers to us in waking reality. The connections among us, our probable...2023-04-0318 minLessons From The Helpful DeadOur Experience Between Lives & Who or What is GodOur experience of death is as individualized as our lives are. What we initially experience depends largely on our beliefs. For those stuck in believing there is nothing after death, they will experience that until a guide comes along and helps them understand that what they experience is of their own makng. There are many options for us to choose among as we advance in our understanding. These include how we will incarnate in our next experience. As to the nature of God, Seth explains God is an idea, which sounds strange only because we have no understanding of...2023-03-3121 minLessons From The Helpful DeadMaking Sense of Earth Life - the Human Time-Space IllusionSupporting the notion of us as tourists experiencing various realities as we travel through the universe, some of the entity Seth's explanations are helpful. Here he explains how we co-create whatever reality we experience, and what we perceive is not reality, but rather, ideas we have constructed about reality. Further he points out that no two of us perceive the same reality, and when a pretty girl enters a room, there are as many of her as there are people in the room looking at her. He also explains the true nature of evil and the devil, and why...2023-03-2924 minLessons From The Helpful DeadThe Nature of the Soul - That's YouAs part of our continuing discussion of information that supports the notion that we are all tourists, we've looked at the experiences of Edgar Cayce and Bob Monroe. Today we start to take a look at various explanations provided by the entity Seth that also support this notion. The first is the nature of our soul, which is us. Seth explains it is far more powerful and far-ranging than we imagine, and there is no separation between us focus personalities and the soul that we are. There are no limits to us.2023-03-2717 minLessons From The Helpful DeadEdgar Cayce & Bob Monroe as TouristsThe notion that we are all tourists is supported by the experiences of the famous healer Edgar Cayce and the famous out-of-body traveler Bob Monroe. In this sesssion we discuss in detail how their experiences, as told to others in books, demonstrate that both were spirit entities touring the universe when they became attracted to the Human Time-Space Illusion. In subsequent sessions we'll cover the explanations given by the entity Seth that support the tourist notion.2023-03-2617 minLessons From The Helpful DeadWhere We're Going - Everywhere and Nowhere - We Are All TouristsWhat do we exoerience after one life? After many lives here on earth? Where do we go? To answer that, you need to know that you are a spirit, with many "focus personalities" focused on earth life, but that as a spirit you also experience other realities of your choosing, some material and some not. As a spirit you are free of time and space restraints, and are free to tour as many realities and universes as you wish, experiencing them for the purposes of continued growth in your awareness and continuing fulfillment of your individual values.2023-03-2520 minLessons From The Helpful DeadYou're an Actor, You're Here for Me to Love You, and Two SongsEach of us "focus personalities" is playing a role here on earth, one of many we play before leaving the Human Time-Space Illusion. Shakespeare's "all the world's a stage" comment applies here. And how could you be here for me to love you if you're a cruel tyrant who kills and tortures many people? You can't, unless I think in terms of the Big Self energizing the tyrant, and recognize that what we perceive are ideas that we have constructed about reality, not reality itself. And the songs?
