It's an interesting play, Seth saying we don't have linear 'past lives' but that they are happening now all together, a potent moment in acknowledging them in light of abidance, cultivation, a sacred geometry lit.

I also like the idea that we can and in fact we are already interacting with our “other lives.”
Which is part of what I was getting at in the Abilities of the Multidimensional Self thread, that by interacting with our other incarnations we can learn from them and enhance our own experiences here, create a richer tapestry of interconnections

Sweet. For me it was like a circular arc upward of bright light and nice tanden pranas in the bodily center, connecting, a joining of otherwise ignored aspects, people, dimension, that is 'me' who I may be praying for, but a synergy of creative force. As in ACIM teaching that is all of us, but considering more directly those are my incarnations, a bunch of me's, it drives and empowers the point of being joined to greater dimension. If it can be better integrated to all of us, the more the merrier.
If you are myself, and I pray for you as I do myself, that's the bee's knees, ultimate ACIM.

Ego: How do I have the time and energy to cultivate for others?
But in a hidden inversion, as the course says, it is the opposite, in the real sense, giving is having. 'Other' is one's own perception, dimension. Hypocrisy abounds saying it here in the world. Not so when all is of mind. Ego condemns it.

Yes, that is just what I am practicing. Enlarging the scope, to what Seth calls "All That Is." And then bringing it back, to the point of awareness here in this world, functional human being, but still with the glowing embers of the Great Beyond. And then back again...

To the Cosmic Christ

Read this ACIM passage today and found it moving:
Quote:
M-26.2. There are those who have reached God directly, retaining no trace of worldly limits and remembering their own Identity perfectly. 2 These might be called the Teachers of teachers because, although they are no longer visible, their image can yet be called upon. 3 And they will appear when and where it is helpful for them to do so. 4 To those to whom such appearances would be frightening, they give their ideas. 5 No one can call on them in vain. 6 Nor is there anyone of whom they are unaware. 7 All needs are known to them, and all mistakes are recognized and overlooked by them. 8 The time will come when this is understood. 9 And meanwhile, they give all their gifts to the teachers of God who look to them for help, asking all things in their name and in no other.
M-26.3. Sometimes a teacher of God may have a brief experience of direct union with God. 2 In this world, it is almost impossible that this endure. 3 It can, perhaps, be won after much devotion and dedication, and then be maintained for much of the time on earth. 4 But this is so rare that it cannot be considered a realistic goal. 5 If it happens, so be it. 6 If it does not happen, so be it as well. 7 All worldly states must be illusory. 8 If God were reached directly in sustained awareness, the body would not be long maintained. 9 Those who have laid the body down merely to extend their helpfulness to those remaining behind are few indeed. 10 And they need helpers who are still in bondage and still asleep, so that by their awakening can God\’s Voice be heard.
M-26.4. Do not despair, then, because of limitations. 2 It is your function to escape from them, but not to be without them. 3 If you would be heard by those who suffer, you must speak their language. 4 If you would be a savior, you must understand what needs to be escaped. 5 Salvation is not theoretical. 6 Behold the problem, ask for the answer, and then accept it when it comes. 7 Nor will its coming be long delayed. 8 All the help you can accept will be provided, and not one need you have will not be met. 9 Let us not, then, be too concerned with goals for which you are not ready. 10 God takes you where you are and welcomes you. 11 What more could you desire, when this is all you need?

Odd that the singular mind creates, and it is empty.

So if we don't want to take birth in a womb, we don't just have to liberate the last one, but all of them. At first it seemed would be more difficult, and the dukkha of all these lives spooked me. But the expanded view kind of spoils ego - that you could be you in some other people simultaneously - it serves a wakefulness I think because it shows mental nature beyond its confines.

I agree. It shows the lives as juncture points off a spinning wheel, with the Void at the heart of all. At least that’s been my experience

I like this. The seeming challenge is actually the profound awakener

My ears have been buzzing. It's like I sense them with my ears, laterally, which is in the extension of the circle.

Yes the void!
I kept on getting these hummings noises as if these sprites wanted me to go through to the other side..
I always wanted too.. but I think I had too much attachment to get to the other side cleanly..

Here's one that was running, as an exercise say. 'Be of one mind' is a statement of what is already true.
Meaning, all perception is the one mind regardless.

From a blind random pick from the workbook.
Quote:
3. But learning will be hampered when you skip a practice period because you are unwilling to devote the time to it that you are asked to give. ²Do not deceive yourself in this. ³Unwillingness can be most carefully concealed behind a cloak of situations you cannot control. ⁴Learn to distinguish situations that are poorly suited to your practicing from those that you establish to uphold a camouflage for your unwillingness.
4. Those practice periods that you have lost because you did not want to do them, for whatever reason, should be done as soon as you have changed your mind about your goal. ²You are unwilling to cooperate in practicing salvation only if it interferes with goals you hold more dear. ³When you withdraw the value given them, allow your practice periods to be replacements for your litanies to them. ⁴They gave you nothing. ⁵But your practicing can offer everything to you. ⁶And so accept their offering and be at peace.

The particular practice is a different question, but this hit me right on the button.

I suppose that even the latter might be useful if it helped reveal the camouflaging/avoidance mechanism, and underlying unwillingness. And if that therefore strengthened one's discernment, and eventual commitment.
