Hi Ronnie. I haven't read a lot of Seth, except to get glimpses of how we create our personal reality with our thought forms, our beliefs.
so I may not be able to add much to your thread as I see you are comparing Monroe with the Seth stuff. I do this comparison thing also, but not with Seth material, a bit with Elias material however, which I have found Elias stuff less dry to read, yet along the same lines of creating one's personal reality.
My research is to align A Course in Miracles theology up alongside Monroe's journals and research. the two thought systems align perfectly with my beliefs. Also Elias would say each of us have been between 800 and 1200 personalities, as in lives lived, while Monroe likens the retrieval of these, are within our disc, and gathering them all together is when maximum velocity and winking out occurs, when all the selves are gathered.
winking out can align perfectly with such terms as ascension or graduation or enlightenment. I like Monroe's description "there is nothing here for me now." been there, done that. It would appear logically a soul comes here to "do it all."
Once it is all done, we continue elsewhere, and a great deal of discussion is done here about that, but conclusive only to the individual who has experience out of body, or phasing.
this type of exploration is still in it's beginning stages for humanity.
I was curious in the beginning why physical helpers were needed to wake up, or retrieve a nonphysical being, to the fact they had crossed or transitioned, while guides and helpers on that side of things, were unable to get the attention of the transitioned being, stuck in a belief that they were still physical, but perhaps dreaming.
As it is explained, we here in the physical vibration, align with the thought system, or vibratory rate of the deceased, at that level, as well, I think that is why we can get their attention.
where I do believe within those who get stuck in their various beliefs, it just had never occurred to them that retrievers existed who do this work, and the nonphysical helpers can see and understand these perfectly, and therefore can guide the retrievers to these. Also for newbies here, Monroe reports most of us make it to focus 27, the way station quite efficiently on our own upon death. as well, a number of retrievals are those within our own disc, our own selves, and even our childhood selves that has fragmentized from truama.
don't want to get into the holographics thing here, but I do believe portions of ourselves can break away and need retrieving as well.
the idea of physical life, of a soul, is to eventually bring back a gift to the entire group soul or disc. such as some accomplishment which in some way aided the evolvement of mankind. it can be anything which is related to service. even to a low paying job done without complaint, is also a gift all the way up to being in positions of power and still being honest in service.
In ACIM, it is more simply written, that we are to remember all our brothers are One with us. in the same way all your lives are One with you. well, I'm still reading Ultimate Journeys and have to get back to it..I think Monroe is still gathering us all together, but blast off is not supposed to occur until 1,000 linear years...so finding the edges of infinity is definetely not one of my lucrative pastimes, as there's too much to do and see right here before this life span is up. hope to hear more from you Ronny.
