FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is Conscious Creation?”
Conscious
creation is a system of beliefs based on the idea that each of us creates
our own reality. This belief is not new, and has been expressed in many
forms and ideas throughout history. In recent history many of these
ideas have been expressed through channeled entities, such as Seth and
Abraham.
“What
is channeling?”
Channeling
is a form of communication, often with the inner self. By relaxing your
conscious mind you allow information to come in that is not always available
to your five senses. There are other forms of inner communication
besides channeling - automatic writing, pendulums, ouija boards and
tarot cards are all popular methods. Channeling can also be a term describing
someone who is allowing another entity to speak through them, whether
consciously or while in deep trance.
“O.k.
so what's an entity?”
An
entity is any self aware, intelligent being. I'm an entity and so are
you. Some entities are not physically focused, they are focused "outside"
of physical reality. We can communicate with these entities through
various methods, including the ones mentioned above.
“Isn't
channeling equivalent to possession?”
Possession
is the concept of a demon or evil spirit taking over a person's body
without their permission. Channeling, in comparison, is a voluntary
action, the channeler always has control and is never a victim to the
entity being channeled. Breaking the connection is as simple as hanging
up the phone.
“What
about evil spirits? What if someone contacts the spirit of a mass murderer
or something worse?”
This
is a question of trust vs. fear. If you trust your inner self, and you
have a strong sense of your own safety, then you know that you would
not be guided into an experience you were not ready for. As for
‘evil’ spirits, IMO they do not exist, per se. Whenever we leave physical
reality we immediately gain a larger perspective on who and what we
are. Good and evil are judgments created here in physical reality, but
we can let go of them while still living here - why wait?
“I'm
confused. You mentioned that channeling is a communication with your
inner self, but you also mention talking to other entities?”
Channeling
(or any of the associated activities) does put you in touch with your
inner self, and sometimes with nonphysically focused friends as well.
You might think of them as angels, entities, or spirit guides - the
name we give them is unimportant. Some people seem to connect with a
deeper level of themselves without another entity involved - this is
perfectly valid too, no method is better than another.
“Can
I learn how to channel?”
Certainly.
You can buy yourself a ouija board, or just sit with pen and paper to
see if anything comes through. (More information on this appears in
the "Getting Started" section.)
“I've
heard the expression ‘you create your own reality’ before, but I don't
really understand it.”
YCYOR
means that the reality you experience every day has been created by
YOU through your own beliefs. This is a pretty radical concept, for
it asserts that the physical reality you perceive is essentially an
illusion that you have created to experience as reality.
“Don't
you mean that my beliefs affect how I perceive reality, not actually
affect reality itself?”
Some
people believe this, others believe that there is no one ‘rockbed’ reality
that we all share. One way of looking at it is that each of us creates
our own unique reality, and we interact with each other via telepathic
agreement. As a conscious creator, there is little purpose in believing
in a rockbed reality, since it puts the power of creation outside of
yourself regarding specific areas of your life.
“If
each of us creates our own reality, why would anyone create a life of
suffering, or create a life where they die violently? What about people
who have birth defects like Downs Syndrome, why would anyone create
a life like that?”
When
one of us chooses to come into physical reality we pick the circumstances
of our birth “before time” we choose where we will be born, the time
period, our parents, and possibly a general vision of what we wish to
accomplish/experience in that lifetime.
Since
linear time is only part of the illusion of physical reality, we always
have the option of choosing the events we really want to experience.
We might choose more challenging circumstances like birth defects, only
because they provide a unique experience of perceiving physical reality.
From a “normal” perspective we perceive these lives as less desirable,
however we can't really know how or what this person is perceiving,
their reality is unique unto themselves.
As
for dying a violent death, there are as many possible answers here as
there are people to create them. If a person believes they are a victim,
they might indeed choose to experience a reality where they become one.
However, this would be done by choice, and the person who ‘attacked’
them would be someone that they agreed to have this experience with.
“This
stuff sounds very morally ambiguous, what about people who lead evil
lives, like Adolf Hitler, or Ted Bundy?”
The
principles of conscious creation are free of moral judgment - each of
us creates our own reality, and decides for ourselves what morals to
apply. We can judge others from what we perceive of their lives, but
we can't force that judgment on them, nor does any “higher power.”
What
does this mean in terms of a Hitler, or serial killer? This means
that we recognize that nobody was actually a victim of this type of
entity, Hitler created his life to play the part of an “evil dictator”
many played the part of being his victims.
“This
sounds like you're putting the blame on the victim, a variation on the
‘she was asking for it’ theme.”
Actually,
it's dismissing the concept of blame completely. Since we are all ONE
at a deeper level, and since everything happens by choice, the whole
concept of blame becomes moot. From a conscious creation perspective,
the concept of ‘no victims’ can be very empowering.
“Is
this some sort of internet cult?”
In
order to be a cult, you first need some sort of organized group, an
established leader who makes the rules, and people willing to follow
those rules. Conscious creators are generally rule breakers by nature.
The only rules we accept are those we apply to ourselves, and we recognize
that we are the ones who have the power to change those rules if we
choose to.
Some
people have made heroes out of the channeled entities, and even the
people who channel them, but that's as far as it goes. If in your own
investigations you discover something that makes you uncomfortable,
we suggest you choose a different path ASAP - your intuition is your
highest and best guide in any situation.
“How
seriously do you take this stuff?”
This
is strictly an individual choice. Many of us began experimenting with
these ideas, had a lot of success, and decided to apply them wholeheartedly
in our lives. Others are still content to play with these ideas as just
interesting theories.
“If
each of us creates our own reality, how can there be world wide events,
like the destruction of the rain forests.”
Here's
my own working theory, as brief as possible. Our beliefs have a magnetic
effect, and draw to us the experiences we choose. We choose from a sea
of infinite probable events, since no event is ‘real’ until we have
actually chosen to experience it. If you imagine your life as a symphony,
then your beliefs are the sheet music, and you are both the conductor
and the composer. Changing your beliefs will not just change your perception
of reality, but alters the reality you experience. Your beliefs form
your reality, it's that simple, and that complex.
“So,
what exactly do you mean by beliefs anyway?”
Beliefs
are anything that we hold to be true about reality. Some beliefs are
obvious and appear to be shared by everyone - gravity and the shape
of the earth for example. Seth refers to these beliefs as root assumptions
because they're basic assumptions we accept as truth in order to make
interaction in physical reality possible.
Other
beliefs sometimes appear to BE reality, although as a conscious creator
you can recognize it as just a belief, and change it. For example, if
you believe that mankind is destroying the environment, then that is
a belief, no matter how "real" it appears. If you choose to believe
something different, like “the environment is getting better” then that
will become your reality instead.
“How
do you know that it's not self delusion?”
I
don't, in truth. I don't ‘know’ anything, however these are the beliefs
that work for me. In a larger sense, all of reality really is a self
delusion. At some point, you might find yourself deciding whether or
not to embrace these concepts as your own truth.
