👋  Dear Mark M,








Welcome to this week’s Seth Weekly Wisdom. When you are venturing through the weird and wide world of the Seth material, there is so much to take in. Not only is the material itself massive—spanning across 40+ books (only counting those authored by Jane)—but the concepts are extremely broad, deep, and dense. Studying and working with the teachings is truly the work of a lifetime (or many).


Amidst discussion of probable realities, counterpart selves, and multidimensional dream landscapes, it’s easy to overlook something core: our own personal power, will, and agency are the driving force behind all our creations.

💬  Quote of the Week


I want you to watch your own conscious thoughts. You let them escape you half the time. You do not realize what you are thinking. You blame many of your difficulties upon subconscious reaction, and you think particularly in your weak moments that you have no control…


As I have told you often, your body reacts to your thoughts…You are hypnotizing yourself. You would not think of going to a hypnotist and having him tell you that you are getting sicker by the moment or the world was getting cruddier by the moment or that your arm or foot or head or toe or ear would hurt more and more with each breath that you took…and yet you do this to yourselves often and then you say with all blind innocence, why does this come about, why am I sick or why am I sore or why am I caught in this cruddy universe and yet you do not change your own thought…


You are not using the control that you have. None of you are helpless to change events, to change your health or your reality at this moment. No one is responsible for your own conscious thought but yourself. You may have built up poor habits of thought, but you can recognize this and change them…


Each thought is an electromagnetic reality on its own, a unique electromagnetic reality. Your thoughts create patterns in dimensions that you do not perceive…When you allow negative thoughts to predominate in your conscious mind you then become more open to the negative thoughts of others…This not only happens in the waking state, but you also become more open in the dreaming state to telepathic communications from others of a negative pattern…You not only attract negative conditions therefore in the physical world that you know, but you open yourselves up to these in the dream reality…


The change can be miraculous when you change your conscious thought patterns. You can watch the changes happen. It sounds simple and it is simple if you apply it, but it is you who has to know the nature of your own thoughts…

 

I want you to realize that these techniques are to be used. This is not theory to be listened to or read and forgotten. It is to be put into practice or it is of no use. Knowledge that is not applied to people is not knowledge.


—Seth, The Early Class Sessions: Book 2, ESP Class Session, July 21, 1970

Commentary:









Seth famously teaches that our point of power is in the present moment. He discusses this concept throughout the material and offers exercises for working with it. But this quote brings us back to the same point from another angle.


We can read and read, discuss and discuss, intellectually process and grapple with these ideas ad infinitum… but it is only through our own personal will, power, and agency that we ever grow or change. Even when we feel disconnected from our power, it is still the vital force of consciousness within us that is shaping our experience.


There is no one but ourselves who can do the work of growing awareness, shifting thoughts, and constructing new beliefs. It doesn’t have to be hard, but it is deep work. And it is only ours to do.


When we allow our consciousness to spiral into negativity, we don’t just feel bad, we generate a field of resonance that draws in more of the same. We become more open to negative influences, both in waking life and in our dream states. But when we shift our thought patterns, we change the energetic atmosphere around us.


The place inside us where our vitality lives, where our will and choice reside, where we determine what to accept, what to focus on, what to amplify, is always present. It cannot be lost. It is an intrinsic part of us, no matter what we’ve been through or how far we feel from it.


Our task is to come back into conscious connection with it, and to claim our agency and our power as the creators of our experience. We are never without the ability to choose a new thought, to shift a belief, to invite a new experience. We create our own reality. There are no exceptions.

🔬  Experiment of the Week



This week, set aside intentional time to connect with the part of you that holds the power to choose.


Step 1: Create stillness.

Set aside 10–15 minutes in a quiet space. Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and take several slow, conscious breaths. Let your attention turn inward.


Step 2: Acknowledge your role as creator.

Gently remind yourself:

“I am the one creating my experience. I create my experience and I have the power to change it.”


Let this settle in, not as pressure, but as empowerment.


Step 3: Connect with the chooser within.

Now turn inward even more deeply. Ask:

“What part of me knows how to choose?”


Let yourself feel into the presence of the self that is aware, discerning, capable. It may feel subtle or quiet, but it is always there. The part of you that can direct attention, decide what to accept or reject, and choose what to become.


Step 4: Choose a new tone or focus.

From this connected state, select a tone or intention you’d like to hold. Let it be clear and alive. For example:

“I choose clarity.”

“I choose peace.”

“I choose possibility.”


Feel yourself gently aligning with this choice. Let it move into your body and energy field.


Step 5: Anchor the experience.

To close, place a hand over your heart or solar plexus and affirm silently:

“My point of power is in the present moment. Always accessible, always available. I return to this place within me whenever I choose.”


Open your eyes when ready, and carry this awareness with you into the rest of your day.
