I have a question regarding the concept of the "Disk"/higher self/total self.
In book three (I believe it was), Bruce came to the realization that Bob (and others that he knew while living) were all part of his Disk, meaning they were all part of the same Higher Self.  When I first read this, it blew my mind that another part of yourself could be someone you know.  After further reading and understanding the concept of the Disk, it was no longer all that surprising to me, but I was left with the question: are we all (humans) part of the same Disk, or are there many Disks and some people I know may be from another Disk and some may be part of the same Disk as I am (and we're connected via Filaments of Awareness)?   
Thanks,

-Mike

Thanks, Rob.  I hope to see more responses as well. 

I assumed that, if indeed some of us here on earth have different Disks then they ultimately joined up into one.  But I guess I was hoping, at this point at least, to understand what Bruce's take on it was.  This particular question either wasn't answered in the books, or else I didn't catch it. Of course, I'd like to learn it all firsthand for myself, but my intent of this post was to try to understand what Bruce's understanding of it was (and the understand of others who've read his books as well). 
Thanks for your reply!

Great, thank you for your reply!

I agree completely; I was merely looking for clarification of Bruce's understanding of his reality.

Yes indeed.  I've read a lot and I'm very interested, but I've yet to experience it for myself.  That's what I'm working on now.  (I want to turn my Beliefs into Knowns, and/or squash any Beliefs and discover my Knowns).

Thanks for your input, Alysia.  I think my question was born when I'm out in a crowd and I look around and think, "we're all connected, ultimately, but I wonder if any of these people are in my particular (1st-level) Disk?"

Well....
Bruce found out that Bob Monroe was a part of his Disk (his "I/There"), but he didn't found this out until after Bob had passed on.  (He learned that he was drawn to Bob due to the filaments of awareness after the fact).

Hi Mike,

My thoughts, feelings, kind of echoe Rob's, Betson's, and Alysias as regards this subject.

  I also see it from different perspectives too.   I see each Disc, also kind of corresponding to a major dimensional consciousness state of being as well. 

What i find really interesting is that in Bruce's info, Bruce found out that he has 8 major Disc selves from his immediate past/present/future lives self, all the way out to the most expanded Disc which he called the Planning Intelligence which is kind of like a Universal consciousness state which contains all awareness, info, and consciousnesses within this particular Universe.  This was the 8th Disc which was connected to his immediate Disc.

  From the most expanded and ultimate perspective, these since they are all intimately connected, are basically One big Disc or Self, but i also believe in the individuality aspect of it as well. 

  The interesting coincidence is, that in the Edgar Cayce psychic readings, his guides mention that there are 8 major dimensions within this system of energies.   Is it merely a coincidence that Bruce experienced and perceived 8 Discs and according to this rather studied and verified psychic source, there are also 8 major dimension connected to this system?

  Btw, i believe we can get more specific with this whole Disc thing.  For example, i've not read this anywhere, but i've come to believe that our 2nd Disk to our 1st, is that of our Twin Soul's 1st Disk and ours combined.    They seem to have originally been one complete Disc before this whole Total self started to project parts of itself into the physical dimension and this overall system.   

But because this system and this dimension in particular, is heavily based on the energy of "polarity", then these separated in consciousness to some extent, almost as an indication of our lack of balance between the masculine and feminine within self.  Just as humans are in bodies of either male or female, while our immediate Discs contain both male and females lives, it seems that the majority do have a predominance of one over the other.   

For example, most of my lives have been male ones though i have some female here and there within my immediate Disc.  My Fiance and Twin Soul on the other hand, has had predominantly female lives though some males here and there as well.   She is kind of the yin to my yang, and when we met and started to live together, there was a greater balancing between our respective imbalanced male-female polarity balances.   It's like being together has shifted both of our energies more towards that of neutral or completely balanced, because we are Twin Souls and so psychically connected. 

The 3rd Disc self, i believe probably contains our non-human selves, which by their inherent nature are more androgynous in nature than our 1st and 2nd Disc selves.  So, its a combination of your 1st and 2nd Discs, with aspects which evolved in other systems other than the ELS.

  Then there are the other Discs, the 4th i believe contains our immediate Soul group, those selves and Discs who have been intimately connected in their physical and nonphysical lives accross, in, and beyond time and space.  This can vary with individual examples, but it seems on average that there are anywhere from 3 to 9 immediate Discs within this more expanded grouping which we could call the 4th Disc. 

  Just keep expanding it, the concepts and the relationships, each one after has ever more "numbers" of indivdiual expressions all connected within, each becoming less emotionally and personality attached, and more purely PUL oriented in nature, meaning less attached, more unconditional, and less "karmically" connected in a personal sense. 


  Like Bruce and Bob, i also believe that i've met another self in the same time/space cycle from my immediate Disc.   Not surprisingly, we had a lot of similarities in common, and like Bruce Moen and Bob Monroe, our names also had a similar resonance and similar sound to them overall.   He died young though, a few years ago.   

  We were not especially close in a material or physica-emotionall way, we didn't spend much in-physical time together, but there was a strong pull between us, and a strong spiritual connection.  I had many dreams about him over the years, though we weren't close as those materially minded count as "close".   I apparently knew about his death via dream, before i found out consciously within C1 state about it (a friend told me a couple weeks after a dream i had about him). 

  Interesting stuff.   I believe i may have another one or two immediate Disc members out there in the same space/time cycle, but am not sure on this.  I feel my Twin Soul Becky has at least another self out there as well as part of her immediate Disc, but she is rather on the older side and probably won't be around for much longer.   I'm interested in them meeting and seeing the interaction, but don't know if this will happen.
