if pressed, i would prefer referring to incarnated life as "training", or "experience", but not an illusion...

hi fiish,

i agree with this statement but i don't think these three things are mutually exclusive. to clarify my viewpoint, my beliefs are largely influenced by the seth material and from what i've read so far of the law of one the concepts are compatible.

seth says that the outside world (what i'm referring to as illusion) is just a manifestation of our inner worlds. and for the most part distracts us from the actually source (inner world) of our creation.

for me, it makes the outer world even more fascinating. i often sit and wonder how amazing it is that we all agree and create the flora and fauna around us. seth says the creation of the seasons is one of the most creative feats of the mind (universal mind?).

[please pm for book name] is an excellent book that explains how this works. here's a good review:
"this book explains how our individual thoughts and feelings contribute to mass events such as floods and earthquakes, plagues and pestilences - and the lives and deaths of our public icons like princess diana and mother theresa.

seth tells us:

'your world and everything in it exists first in the imagination.

you usually think, for example, that your feelings about a given event are primarily reactions to the event itself. it seldom occurs to you that the feelings themselves might be primary, and that the particular event was somehow a response to your emotions, rather than the other way around. the all-important matter of your focus is largely responsible for your interpretation of any events.'

as we approach the next millennium, some are certain that it is all over down here on planet earth, some are in wait of a golden age, others search for mass landings of ufo’s and a third world war, while still others live in dread of massive earth changes, polar shifts and environmental disasters. according to seth, all these events are created by us and with purpose - to reflect our thoughts and feelings back to us so we can see and learn from them.... so we can grow and evolve spiritually. seth also teaches us that we can prevent the mass events that threaten disaster... that we can avoid being blown off the planet. our "salvation" from whatever disasters might befall us lies within us - in our thoughts and feelings. when we learn the lessons that each of these events contains, and change how we think and feel, when we face our fears and move away from our anger, frustration and resentments, when we become the fully loving beings that we are cabable of being, there will be no need for pain, sorrow and loss.

the [book name] is timely reading for all of us right now. to avoid this time of apparent global crisis, when so many are feeling disempowered by their life’s circumstances, seth reminds us that we have chosen our reality - and with purpose. the challenge now is to "get the lessons" in each event, understand its purpose, and then respond with those all-powerful and all-pervasive loving thoughts, feelings and actions."

best,
stacy
