I am not entirely sure how to translate in to words what I mean, I have to think on that. The concept makes sense in my head aha
It has to do with the way I view thoughts and the interplay of mental energies, I think? There is a connectivity between all of our selves through consciousness, and in that I feel there are links between each self that are constantly shifting and changing according to how each self is experiencing on "their side".
I don't feel that our minds actually "contain" anything but rather are "waystations" for energy, or specifically, thoughts and thoughtforms, but insofar as I have found there is a difference between thoughts that original in the self and those which simply "come to" us. Thoughts that originate in the self I define as "intentional" thoughts or thoughts which have intentionally been chosen to be present in the mind.
These thoughts are usually chosen from the pool of the subconscious and unconscious insofar as may be seen by the conscious mind. However, the thoughts themselves don't belong to anybody, they are not owned by anyone and do not exist "in" anyone's head or mind, but rather more like a still glass of water the mind, by passing energy and information through it acts as a medium for the perception of thoughts. It is like the strings of an instrument being vibrated to produce melody.
Then there are harmonics. If you play a note or vibration on an instrument, like a piano, every string that is in tune or not with that note or vibration will become entrained and then vibrate in that same note, albeit with a lesser energy.
So, I see, of the spectrum of many selves which stems from our "first self" or first individuated identity in this octave, up to our farthest self in this octave as one chord or collection of strings that are all part of the same instrument, existing and moving forward through time together, simultaneously, like a kaleidescope where every part moves with every other part.
This means that any time one self changes its harmonic or tuning, the new vibrations become present throughout the totality of the being. My point is not to point to any one or other of ourselves as the prime or sole cause, but to suggest that there is a mutual causality between all selves.
As for our future selves, I see many forms of guidance to be chosen by higher density entities. A good example is Ra's attempt to guide in Egypt, a choice which ultimately has had lasting effects on the experience of not only the Ra complex, but every other self in connection to the choice.
I do certainly wonder how Ra might view their "past selves".
We are all One, I do not see how any change happens without changing everything else.
Either way, I do not know, just food for thought! Aha
