communication交流

In The Early Sessions Book 3, Seth provides a multidimensional and in-depth exposition of the concept of "communication." Communication is not limited to everyday human language or physical media; it is a core mechanism spanning dimensions, connecting material and nonmaterial realms, and linking inner energy with outer manifestation.

1. Cross-dimensional communication: the connection between the living and nonphysical personality essences

Seth points out that at specific "points of focus," personality essences that have departed from the physical field (the so-called dead) and personalities still in the physical field (the living) can establish communication. The precondition for this communication is that the living person can shift focus away from the ego and toward a specific level of consciousness. This focusing can be achieved through trance states, hypnosis, self-hypnosis, or other training, and may also occur spontaneously during intense emotional reactions. Emotional outbursts produce specific chemical conditions that facilitate such communication; but in fact, it is usually the communication itself that triggers the chemical reactions. This communication continues at subconscious levels, and when appropriate focusing is achieved, rapport arises between the living and those "dead" who still maintain psychological contact with physical life ^[1].

2. Psychic communication across barriers and information distortion

For communication such as the dictation of the Seth books, which crosses different fields and multiple barriers, Seth emphasizes that it must evade the censorship of consciousness. In this process, a certain degree of distortion of information is inevitable. This is not due to any deficiency in the ability of the channel (such as Ruburt) or the receiver, but is a natural result of such communication itself, because the information must penetrate different fields ^[2]. Furthermore, if an individual's desire for communication cannot be satisfied externally through limited means such as voice, it may seek an outlet through interest in paranormal phenomena or through media such as electronic devices ^[3].

3. Basic telepathy: the communication of inner energy and material construction

Seth redefines "telepathy" as the most basic and essential form of communication. At the most fundamental level, telepathy is not the communication of thoughts, but the communication of "intents, desires, and purposes." It is the invisible communication of inner energy toward its material manifestation in the physical field, as if opening roads or building bridges in the invisible realm. Before physical communication systems such as nerves are formed, this invisible inner energy telepathic structure is already established, and it instills habits and modes of operation into the physical structure. Even after the physical structure collapses, these inner telepathic channels continue to exist for a period of time ^[4][5]. This intercellular telepathic communication has existed since inner energy first formed matter; when inner energy wishes to construct a more complex gestalt, it must first communicate this intent telepathically through the matter it has gathered, forming an inner telepathic blueprint ^[5][6].

4. Misunderstanding at the ego level and the actual operation of the subconscious

Human beings usually understand telepathy as the communication of thoughts between two or more completely independent "egos." Seth points out that this is a misunderstanding caused by the ego's narrow definition of its own boundaries. The ego considers itself independent and regards the external as non-self or another independent individual. However, telepathy does not operate at the ego level, but operates at different levels of the inner self and the subconscious. At these levels, the sense of separation and limitation regarding the self is not so strong ^[6].

5. The shift of focus from external communication to inner communication

Communication is a core theme for certain personalities across many lifetimes. Seth mentions that certain individuals have devoted themselves to external forms of communication (such as papermaking, broadcasting, etc.) in past lives, but in this life they begin to become aware of an "inner reality" that is difficult to express in words. When an individual attempts to shift the focus of communication from external methods to inner methods, if hesitation arises and the handle of the "door to the inner" cannot be turned, it leads to stagnation and blockage of energy (i.e., "energy knots"). Therefore, while exploring inward, it is crucial to maintain balance and release between inner and outer methods of communication ^[7][8].

In The Early Sessions Book 4, Seth provides an in-depth discussion of the concept of "communication," revealing the physical manifestations of cross-dimensional psychic communication, the electromagnetic causes of communication blockage, and the inner communication mechanisms operating beneath consciousness.

First, Seth clarifies the relationship between psychic communication, mediumistic ability, and physical manifestation. He points out that his communication with human beings depends on the state of the medium's (Ruburt's) abilities. In certain states, Ruburt's abilities allow Seth's communication to be conveyed extremely smoothly ^[1]. The physical vocal presentation of this communication (such as hoarseness or volume) is not limited by human physiological habits (such as smoking), but is Seth's choice to speak in a low voice out of consideration for the surrounding environment (such as avoiding disturbing the neighbors' sleep). In fact, Seth possesses powerful energy and could theoretically "raise the roof" with his voice ^[1].

Second, the phenomenon of "poor connections" exists in the communication process. Seth points out that when a "poor connection" occurs in communication, it is not due to a problem on his end, but due to electromagnetic interference on the receiver's end ^[2]. These electromagnetic interferences have a certain periodicity, and the receiver reacts to them. They form a kind of "insulator," thereby making communication difficult. During normal pauses in communication, the medium can feel connected to a "living source" even without speaking, whereas when such electromagnetic interference causes a poor connection, the medium experiences a feeling similar to being connected to a "dead" telephone ^[2].

Finally, Seth elaborates in detail on the "inner communication" that occurs beneath consciousness. He points out that the electromagnetic system is responsible for inner communication beneath consciousness, and these definite electromagnetic fields directly serve as channels for inner communication ^[3]. These channels can form instantaneously and sweep in different directions, and are opened through attraction. This attraction usually originates from emotion, because emotion possesses its own reality within the electromagnetic system and carries its own electromagnetic characteristics, with the strength of attraction proportional to the power or charge of the emotion. Through these electromagnetic channels, people can engage in communication beyond conscious perception; for example, a dreamer can telepathically communicate with another person's dream without consciously perceiving the other's existence ^[3].

In The Early Sessions Book 5, Seth provides a profound discussion of the nature, operational mechanisms, and reception conditions of "communication" (especially psychic communication). The exposition in this phase emphasizes the electromagnetic reality of communication, the multidimensional levels of the receiver, and the characteristics of communication's manifestation and concealment in consciousness.

First, Seth clarifies the electromagnetic nature of psychic communication and the mechanism of range matching. He points out that all action possesses electromagnetic reality, although this reality is usually imperceptible to the physical senses. All levels of the self possess this electromagnetic reality; they are actions capable of being aware of their own identity. For psychic communication to occur, the communication must fall within the specific range of electromagnetic reality that the receiver can pick up, and it must be received by that specific level of the receiver's self capable of translating it into meaningful terms. This matching of ranges and translation by specific levels is the precondition for obtaining any "proof" of communication ^[1].

Second, Seth distinguishes between "conscious reception" and "hidden automatic operation" of communication. If communication does not fall within the aforementioned specific range and is not translated, it does not disappear; rather, it is automatically received and directly acted upon, leaving no trace. In this case, the communication merely becomes part of new action, without providing any evidence of its source. Seth emphasizes that he had hoped Philip would hear him consciously, precisely in order to make him aware of the existence of such communication ^[1].

Furthermore, the depth of communication is closely related to the receiver's state and willingness. In discussing perception tests, Seth mentions that he had attempted to separate different levels of perception for a period of time, but because Ruburt (Jane) was unwilling at that time to open deeper layers of communication, the tests were affected ^[2]. This indicates that psychic communication is not one-way indoctrination, but requires the receiver to actively open toward deeper levels of the self and achieve coordination among different levels of perception.

Finally, regarding the examination and testing of communication, Seth points out that it must follow a scientific sequence and appropriate timing. For example, in the Rhine experiments, results were given only after completing a specific sequence of tests ^[2]. For the envelope tests in their sessions, Seth suggests conducting them after the "Instream material," and avoiding conducting them at the end of a session when Jane is tired, in order to ensure the clarity and accuracy of the communication channel ^[2].

In summary, "communication" in this volume is defined as a complex interaction based on electromagnetic reality, spanning different levels of the self. It can merge into everyday action as an invisible driving force, or it can be consciously perceived and translated when specific electromagnetic ranges match and the receiver opens deeply.
