Cliff Dunning: If we create our own reality, there’s also the script we came in with as a soul incarnating into this body. And that script supersedes our wants and desires, it seems like. Is that correct?
JohnFriedlander: Well there are tensions and contradictions that are just intrinsic. And nothing is like a billiard ball, isolated into and unto itself. So you are the center of your consciousness; your soul is the center of its consciousness. You are part of it; it is part of you. You expand in all directions when you die, you do not get gobbled up by your soul….One direction you go off in is to become part of your soul. But you also explore unfinished business of this personality, so it isn’t just the soul that’s eternal, the personality is eternal. You’re part of the soul, the soul is part of you but you go off in other directions, the soul goes on in other directions. So yes, the soul has a very strong set of agendas, and those can be a profound constraint for your doing certain things that you want to do.
I heard the above in an interview with John Friedlander on Cliff Dunning’s excellent Destiny podcast. It led me to check out John’s new book, RECENTERING SETH. John was a member in the original 1970s living room sessions with Jane Roberts when she was channeling Seth. His new book has an awesome subtitle:
Teachings from a Multidimensional Entity on Living Gracefully and Skillfully in a World You Create But Do Not Control
This excerpt jumped out at me from the preface:
The sublime and the horrifying aspect of human consciousness is that we lose track of its very nature, which is that consciousness wants to have experience. As humans, we want to have pleasant experience, but consciousness itself wants to have experience. Seth talks about the very nature of consciousness being to explore every dimension. Now that is a far more radical statement than you might initially imagine. And humans, even as alienated as we are from the nature of consciousness, want to have experience too; we want to have all experience.
The idea that consciousness wants to have experience may be one of the keys to understanding why we’re here in physical bodies in linear time — because our consciousness wants to have experience. And as Richard Grossinger explains in the foreword:
We have entered a body to experience an aspect of creation that spirit can’t encounter as spirit alone.
