?“赛斯第二”的一次惊现

?此段摘自《灵魂永生》第二十二章 

辞别和引介：从我的角度看多维人格的各种面貌

灵魂了解自己，不会被名称或定义搞糊涂。我希望能通过展示我的实相，告诉你们自己实相的本质。

你们并没有受限于存在的哪一个范畴或角落里。你们的实相与我的一样无边无际，无法量度。我希望通过此书来说明意识与人格的功能，并扩展你们的观念。

一开始我就说过，我通过一个我很喜欢的女士之口来传达这资料。现在且让我告诉你们，还有别的实相也牵涉在内。接下来的几段将由另一个人物来写，他与我的关系就像我和这位女士的关系一样。

（罗：珍的传述在11点51分停顿了一下。我全神贯注地注意珍的转变，我们熟悉的赛斯撤退了，换上了赛斯第二。同时我知道珍正感觉到一个无形的“圆锥”或“金字塔”落到她头顶上。珍过去常告诉我，当赛斯来时，她总感到一种温暖、活跃、友善的气氛，但是当她的意识与赛斯第二接触时，她觉得自己“被那个无形的金字塔吸了上去”。她不知道自己去了哪儿，也不知道怎么回来的。她的肉身似乎被甩在后面。

珍端坐在她的摇椅里，前臂放在椅子扶手上，双脚平放在地毯上。这是个闷热的夜晚；我们客厅的窗子开着，现在我开始意识到交通的噪音，我听见楼上公寓有人在走动。

珍的眼睛是闭着的，但偶尔会微睁。当她为赛斯第二说话时，脸上有淡淡的笑容。从她口中发出的声音音调非常高，听起来好像很遥远、也很正式，音量不大，也没什么抑扬顿挫。每个字都仔细、慎重，几乎是小心翼翼地说出来。就好像赛斯第二对声带或字句极不熟悉，所以非常费力地要以正确的方式运用它们。两位赛斯之间的对比是不能再彻底的了。）

（罗：凌晨12:06。这节课到此结束。赛斯第二说话时从不宣告结束，最后也没有任何赛斯、珍和我三人常有的温暖的情感交流。珍感觉眼皮很重，她试了好几分钟还睁不开眼睛。在整个传述期间，她在摇椅中连动都没动过。这次她仍经历了往常赛斯第二出现时的圆锥效应。）

The Soul knows itself, and is not confused by terms or definitions. Through showing you the nature of my own reality, I hope to teach you the nature of your own.

You are not bound to any category or corner of existence. Your reality cannot be measured any more than mine. I hope to illustrate the function of consciousness and personality through writing this book and enlarging your concepts.

Now I began by telling you that I was dictating this material through the auspices of a woman of whom I was quite fond. Let me now tell you that there are other realities involved. The following paragraphs will be written by another personality, who stands relatively in the same position to me as I stand to the woman through whom I am now speaking.

(Pause at 11:51. I now watched a transformation begin  to take place in Jane, as our familiar Seth retreated and Seth Two began to come to the fore. At the same time I knew that subjectively Jane was experiencing the feeling o f a “cone” or “pyramid” coming down over the top o f her head. Jane has often told me that whereas she feels Seth come to her in a very warm and alive and friendly manner, she feels her consciousness going out o f herself to meet Seth Two — "up the invisible pyramid like a draft up a flue. ” She doesn’t know where she goes or how she gets back. Her body seems to be left behind.

 (Jane sat very formally in her Kennedy rocker, her forearms upon the arms o f the chair, her feet flat upon the rug. It was a muggy night; our living room windows were open, and now I became conscious o f traffic noise. I heard someone moving about in the apartment upstairs. 

(Jane’s eyes were closed, but occasionally they opened slightly. She smiled faintly as she spoke for Seth Two. The voice that began to issue from her was very high, very distant and formal, with little volume or emphasis. Each word was carefully and deliberately, almost delicately, spoken. It was as though Seth Two wasn’t familiar with vocal chords or words, and so took pains to use those mechanisms in just the right way. The contrast between the two Seths couldn t have been more complete.)

We are the voices who speak without tongues of our own. We are sources of that energy from which you come. We are creators, yet we have also been created. We seeded your universe as you seed other realities.

We do not exist in your historical terms, nor have we known physical existence. Our joy created the exaltation from which your world comes. Our existence is such that communication must be made by others to you.

Verbal symbols have no meaning for us. Our experience is not translatable. We hope our intent is. In the vast infinite scope of consciousness, all is possible. There is meaning in each thought. We perceive your thoughts as lights. They form patterns.

Because of the difficulties of communication, it is nearly impossible for us to explain our reality. Know only that we exist. We send immeasurable vitality to you, and support all of those structures of consciousness with which you are familiar. You are never alone. We have always sent emissaries to you who understand your needs. Though you do not know us, we cherish you.

Seth is a point in my reference, in our reference. He is an ancient portion of us. We are separate but united. Always the spirit forms the flesh.

(12:06 A.M This was the end of the session. As usual when Seth Two speaks, the end was unannounced, and came without any o f the warmth and emotional exchange that often involves Seth, Jane, and me. Jane’s eyes were heavy. For some few minutes she had trouble keeping them open. She hadn’t changed her position in her rocker for the duration of the delivery, and she'd experienced the usual cone effect.)
