– Chapter 9: The “Death” Experience
– Session 535, June 17, 1970, 9:00 P.M. Wednesday
First of all, let us consider the fact just mentioned. There is no separate, indivisible, specific point of death. Life is a state of becoming, and death is a part of this process of becoming. You are alive now, a consciousness knowing itself, sparkling with cognition amid a debris of dead and dying cells; alive while the atoms and molecules of your body die and are reborn. You are alive, therefore, in the midst of small deaths; portions of your own image crumble away moment by moment and are replaced, and you scarcely give the matter a thought. So you are to some extent now alive in the midst of the death of yourself — alive despite, and yet because of, the multitudinous deaths and rebirths that occur within your body in physical terms.
I am using your own terms here. By “dead,” therefore, I mean completely unfocused in physical reality. Now your consciousness, quite simply, is not physically alive, physically oriented, for exactly the same amount of time as it is physically alive and oriented. (Typing this on June 22, I wondered if I transcribed what Seth had said correctly. Jane and I decided that I had — and it does make sense.) This may sound confusing, but hopefully we shall make it clearer. There are pulsations of consciousness, though again you may not be aware of them.
Consider this analogy. For one instant your consciousness is “alive,” focused in physical reality. Now for the next instant it is focused somewhere else entirely, in a different system of reality. It is unalive, or “dead” to your way of thinking. The next instant it is “alive” again, focused in your reality, but you are not aware of the intervening instant of unaliveness. Your sense of continuity therefore is built up entirely on every other pulsation of consciousness. Is that clear to you?

The creative abilities are largely responsible for keeping you alive.

Your creative self, your spontaneous, creative self—that self that speaks through your impulses—keeps you alive.”

While it is true that the body is the living materialization of idea, it is also true that these ideas form an active, responsive, alive body.

These have their own consciousnesses alive in matter, their drive to exist and be within the framework of their own nature.

Who, for example, imagines that an idea is alive in his elbow, or knee, or toe?

For a moment I was almost transfixed—for the painting, I suddenly saw, was alive.

The flesh and hair and sweater looked alive even though they never moved.

And when I looked at that one, I received the same wondrous feeling: It too was alive.

You were able to sense for yourself some of the material spoken about in the Rembrandt book, so that the information does not just remain academic: it becomes alive and vital through your own experience.

This greater personage then has earthly counterparts, each individual alive taking part in the vital human drama of any given century.
[...]
So the individuals alive upon the body of the earth at any given time fit together as beautifully as the cells do within your individual body at a particular time (most emphatically).
The people alive during any century are embarked upon certain overall challenges.
[...]
I am saying that in a way the people alive on the body of the earth have the same kind of relationship, one to another, as the cells have one to the other.

In what may seem to you to be an odd analogy I will compare your thoughts with viruses,1 for they are alive, always present, responsive, and possess their own kind of mobility.

The latter is as alive and natural and changing as the exterior world.

It seems to you quite definitely that you come alive and die.

But certainly most of you are united in the seemingly irrefutable belief that you are definitely alive now, and not dead.

In greater terms, you are alive and dead at the same time, even as I am.

I am more alive than many who walk the face of your planet now. More alive than some of your professors and friends, for aliveness is dependent upon the state of your consciousness, dependent upon your awareness, your ability to perceive and to feel.

The myth of the great CHANCE ENCOUNTER, in caps, that is supposed to have brought forth life on your planet then presupposes, of course, an individual consciousness that is, in certain terms, alive by chance alone.
[...]
The energy and power that keeps you alive, that fuels your thoughts — and also the energy that lights your cities — all have their origins in Framework 2. The same energy that leaps into practical use when you turn on your television sets also allows you to tune into the daily experienced events of your lives.

But all of you sit here very nicely, very spontaneously, very alive, very conscious and none of you know, egotistically, how you do so or what make your thoughts work. When you begin to question how your heart beats or why, then you can encounter difficulties if you lose the faith that they work spontaneously and that your conscious knowledge is not necessary for the fine mechanisms that keep you alive.
[...]
[...]
It is this force within you that gives you your life and vitality that keeps you alive and that allows you all to think these fine and weighty thoughts.

He could have been in any instance right or wrong, but he met you squarely and spontaneously, and you felt that aliveness and responded to it.

Now, in somewhat the same way must you meet your own aliveness and encounter yourselves, and you cannot do it by digging around the bush.

These include a kind of horizontal psychological extension, the translation of one kind of dream into another kind—the transference of information from one system to another, in which the symbols themselves come alive.
I can only hope to evoke some feeling within you that is reminiscent of your own actual behavior at those hidden levels of dreaming activity, but they have remained highly pertinent in the development of all species with their environments, keeping the intents and purposes of one alive in the other.

You live then in a personal universe, in which each being of whatever degree comes personally in contact with space and time, alive with meaning, alive as a portion of reality that no other being could or can replace.
You take it for granted that you are alive in a universe that has no feelings, much less any feeling for, or knowledge of, your own desires or intents.

Now, all of you here now know that the dead are not necessarily quiet, and that there is no somber mood necessarily connected with those who are no longer alive, in your own terms.

Now, it is extreme egotism to imagine that you can only be alive if you have a body.
