The Unlimited Whole Self

May peace one day overlay the earth, and heal the world.

Now, the way the world views time, the "one day" as written above, has yet to happen. But I believe everything we perceive, past, present, future, is simultaneous. Thus, "one day" exists at the same moment as this day.

Pick a task you perform every day at around the same time, such as shaving, or brushing your teeth. What if each time you shave, or brush your teeth, is really the same moment? I have used this analogy before: A movie contains all its scenes, all its sounds and events, all at once. You hold it in your hand, look at the shiny disk, and know everything is there: Beginning, middle and end. You begin to watch the movie, and though you don't necessarily think of it, you know the end of the movie exists as you begin the first scene.

I believe the first day of the earth, and the last, exist in the same moment, as does every instant in between. When I say, "May peace one day overlay the earth, and heal the world", I know that day exists (in our terms of time, and what "exists" means) right now, this moment:
"...everything in the universe exists at one time, simultaneously. The first words ever spoken still ring through the universe, and in your terms, the last words ever spoken have already been said, for there is no beginning. It is only your perception that is limited."..."There is no past, present, and future. These only appear to those who exist within three-dimensional reality. Since I am no longer in it, I can perceive what you do not. There is also a part of you that is not imprisoned within physical reality, and that part of you knows that there is only an Eternal Now. The part of you who knows this is the whole self." --The Seth Material, by Jane Roberts.

"The first words ever spoken still ring through the universe...the last words ever spoken have already been said..." That might startle some, but what might be even more startling is that it makes perfect sense to me. Seth knew (knows) there is but one self. The personality known as "Seth" is but a small portion of the greater whole, or expression, calling himself "Seth". And that greater whole is a portion of "the whole self."

I can feel it in the cells of my body; in the validity of the Source of all there is; in the free and elastic reality that lies still beneath our demands to be chained...and all the while, we are free...may peace indeed...
