\n(Slowly:) Chapter Six. Now: Any real discussion of genetic her-
\nitage must also bring up questions involving free will and deter-
\nminism,” and to some extent those issues must also lead to
\nquestions concerning the nature of the reasoning mind itself.
\nReasoning, as you are familiar with it, is the result of mental
\nor psychic processes functioning in a space-time context, and in
\na particular fashion. To some extent, then, reasoning-again, as
\nyou are familiar with it (underlined)-is the result of a lack of
\navailable knowledge. You try to “reason things out,” because the
\nanswer is not in front of you. If it were, you would “know,” and
\nhence have no need to question.
\nThe reasoning mind is a uniquely human and physical phe-
\nnomenon. (Long pause.) It depends upon conscious thinking,
\nproblem-solving methods, and it is a natural human blossoming,
\na spectacular mental development in its own framework of activ-
\nity.
\nYour technology is one of the results of that reasoning mind.
\nThat “reasoning” is necessary, however, because of the lack of a
\n\u00a0
\nlarger, immediate field of knowledge. Thoughts are mental ac-
\ntivity, scaled to time and space terms so that they are like mental
\nedifices built to certain dimensions only. Your thoughts make
\nyou human (underlined).
\n(Still slowly at 8:59:) Other creatures have their own kinds of
\nmental activity, however. They also have different kinds of im-
\nmediate perceptions of reality. All species are united by their
\nparticipation in emotional states, however. It is not just that all
\nspecies of life have feeling, but that all participate in dimensions
\nof emotional reality. It has been said that only men have a moral
\nsense, that only men have free will-if indeed free will is possible
\nat all. The word “moral” has endless connotations, of course. Yet
\nanimals have their own “morality,” their own codes of honor,
\ntheir own impeccable senses of balance with all other creatures.
\n(Pause.) They have loving emotional relationships, complicated
\nsocieties,” and in a certain sense at least-an important one-
\nthey also have their arts and sciences. But those “arts and sci-
\nences” are not based upon reasoning, as you understand it.
\nAnimals also possess independent volition, and while I am
\nemphasizing animals here, the same applies to any creature,
\nlarge or small: insect, bird, fish, or worm; to plant life; to cells,
\natoms, or electrons. They possess free will in relationship to the
\nconditions of their existence (underlined).
\nThe conditions of existence are largely determined by genetic
\nstructure. Free will must then of course function in accordance
\nwith genetic integrity. Genetic structure makes possible physical
\norganisms through which life is to be experienced, and to a large
\nextent that structure must determine the kind of action possible
\nin the world, and the way or ways in which volition can be effec-
\ntively expressed.
\nThe beaver is not free to make a spider web. (Long pause.) In
\nhuman beings the genetic structure largely determines physical
\ncharacteristics such as height, color of eyes, color of hair, color
\nof skin-and, of course, more importantly, the number of fin-
\ngers and toes, and the other specific physical attributes of your
\nspecieshood. So physically, and on his physical attributes alone,
\na man cannot use his free will to fly like a bird, or to perform
\nphysical acts for which the human body is not equipped.
\nThe body is equipped to perform far better, in a variety of
\nways, than you give it credit for, however-but the fact remains
\nthat the genetic structure focuses volition. The genetic appara-
\ntus and the chromosomal messages actually contain far more
\ninformation than is ever used. That genetic information can, for
\nexample, be put together in an infinite number of ways. (Long
\npause.) The species cares for itself in the event of any possible
\ncircumstance, so that the genetic messages also carry an endless
\nnumber of triggers that will change genetic combinations if this
\nbecomes necessary.
\nBeyond that, however, genetic messages are coded in such a
\nway that there is a constant give-and-take between those mes-
\nsages and the present experience of any given individual. That
\nis, no genetic event is inevitable.
\nNow besides this physical genetic structure, there is an inner
\nbank of psychic information that in your terms would contain
\nthe “past” history-the reincarnational history-of the individ-
\nual. This provides an overall reservoir of psychic characteristics,
\nleanings, abilities, knowledge, that is as much a part of the indi-
\nvidual’s heritage as the genetic structure is a part of the physical
\nheritage.
\nA person of great intelligence may be born from a family of
\nidiots, for example, because of that reincarnational structure.
\nMusical ability may thus appear complete-
\n(9:27. We were startled by the sudden ringing oj the telephone.)
\nTake your break.
\n(A close friend, one who used to attend Jane’s ESP class, had called
\nour unlisted number to ask one of us some psychic questions. Jane had
\nbeen jolted out of trance, of course. After I hung up we wondered why
\nour friend, who knows our usual routine so well, hadn’t realized that
\nwe’d probably be having a session at this time on a Monday evening.
\nYet, at 9:30 Jane resumed the session just as though there hadn’t been
\nany interruption.)
\n-with great technical facility, regardless of family back-
\nground, genetically speaking, and again, the reincarnational
\nbank of characteristics accounts for such events. That inner rein-
\ncarnational psychic structure is also responsible for triggering
\ncertain genetic messages while ignoring others, or for triggering
\ncertain combinations of genetic messages. In actuality, of course
\n-say that I smiled-all time is simultaneous, and so all reincar-
\nnational lives occur at once.
\n(Pause.) Perhaps an analogy will help. An actor throwing him-
\nself or herself into a role, even momentarily lost in the part, is
\nstill alive and functioning as himself or herself in a context that
\nis larger than the play. The character in the play is seemingly
\nalive (creatively) for the play’s duration, perception being limited
\nto that framework, yet to play that role the actor draws upon the
\nexperience of his own life. He brings to bear his own under-
\nstanding, compassion, artistry, and if he is a good actor, or if she
\nis, then when the play is over the actor is a better person for
\nhaving played the role.
\nNow in the greater framework of reincarnational existences
\nyou choose your roles, or your lives, but the lines that you speak,
\nthe situations that you meet, are not predetermined. “You” live
\nor exist in a larger framework of activity even while you live
\nyour life, and there is a rambunctious interplay between the yous
\nin time and the you outside of time.
\n(Long pause.) The you inside of time adopts a reasoning mind.
\nIt is a kind of creative (underlined) psychological face that you
\nuse for the purposes of your life’s drama. This psychological
\nface of our analogy has certain formal, ceremonial features, so
\nthat you mentally and psychologically tend to perceive only
\nthose data that are available within the play’s formal structure.
\nYou cannot see into the future, for example, or into the past.
\nYou reason out your position. Otherwise your free will would
\nhave no meaning in a physical framework, for the number of
\nchoices available would be so multitudinous that you could not
\nmake up your mind to act within time: With all the opportunities
\nof creativity, and with your own greater knowledge instantly
\navailable, you would be swamped by so many stimuli that you
\nliterally could not physically respond, and so your particular
\nkinds of civilization and science and art could not have been
\naccomplished-and regardless of their flaws they are magnifi-
\ncent accomplishments, unique products of the reasoning mind.
\nWithout the reasoning mind the artist would have no need to
\npaint, for the immediacy of his mental vision would be so instant
\nand blinding, so mentally accomplished, that there would be no
\nneed to try any physical rendition of it. So nowhere do I ever
\nmean to demean the qualities or excellence of the reasoning
\nmind as you understand it.
\nYou have, however, become so specialized in its use, so preju-
\ndiced in its favor, that your tendency is to examine all other
\nkinds of consciousness using the reasoning mind as the only
\nyardstick by which to judge intelligent life. You are surrounded
\neverywhere by other kinds of consciousness whose validity you
\nhave largely ignored, whose psychic brotherhood you have dis-
\nmissed-kinds of consciousness in the animal kingdom particu-
\nlarly, that deal with a different kind of knowing, but who share
\nwith you the reality of keen emotional experience, and who are
\ninnately aware of biological and psychic values, but in ways that
\nhave escaped your prejudiced examination.
\nTo some extent that emotional reality is also expressed at
\nother levels-as your own is-in periods of dreaming, in which
\nanimals, like men, participate in a vast cooperative venture that
\nhelps to form the psychological atmosphere in which your lives
\nmust first of all exist.
\nEnd of dictation. End of session, unless you have a question.
\nRuburt can relax now (with amusement).
\n(“Okay, Seth. No questions. That was very good. “)
\nI bid you a fond good evening.
