一切皆有“可能”

《灵魂永生》第十六章
 可能性系统，人和神

灵魂可以被形容成一个多维的、无限的行为。每一个微不足道的可能性都在某处被赋予了确实性而带入了存在；一个无限的创造行为，为自己创造了无限的维度层次，而在其中，圆满成为可能。

你自身的存在犹如一幅织锦，根本不是三维智力所能看到的。但是，这些可能的自己却是你本体或灵魂的一部分，如果你与它们失去了联系，那只是因为你全神贯注于具体事件，并把物质世界当作判断现实的标准。

但从你存在的任何一点上，都可以瞥见其他可能的实相世界，并感觉到实际决定之下那些可能行动的回响。有些人通常在梦里自发地这样做。这时，正常清醒意识的僵化假设常常会淡化，你会发现自己正在做你实际上拒绝了的那些行为，却绝不会想到自己已窥探进一个可能性世界了。

如果有“可能的自己”，那么自然就有“可能的地球”，全都在走那些你没选择的路。在清醒状态里，用想象作开头，有时你可以沿着“未走的路”走上一小段。

回到先前那个接电话的人。我们假设他告诉朋友说他不去。同时，如果他想象自己又作了同意赴约的选择，那么他可能会经历一次维度的突然破裂。如果他运气够好，而当时各种情况都恰到好处，那么他可能突然强烈地感觉到接受邀请的确实性，就好像事实上选择了赴约一般。在他明白发生了什么事之前，他可能真的觉得自己离开了家，并开始采取那些可能的行动——那些事实上并未选择去做的行动。

可是，在那一瞬间，整个经验会迎头扑向他。想象力会打开自由感知的大门，但却不会产生幻觉。这是一个简单的试验，几乎可以在任何环境下做，虽然一个人不受打扰是很重要的。

不过这个实验不会把你带得太远，而且那个选择去做了你未选择之行动的“可能的自己”，与你所知的自己在某些重要方面是迥然不同的。每一个精神性行为都打开了一个有效的新维度。从某种意义上讲，你最微不足道的念头都孕育了新的世界。

这并不是一个枯燥的形而上学的声明。它应该在你内心唤起最强烈的创造力与思辨精神。任何生物都不可能绝育，任何念头都不可能死去，任何才能也都不可能荒废！

那么，每个可能的实相系统自然也就创造了其他类似的系统，而任何一个行为在实现之后，都会带来无数“未实现”的行为，而它们也终将实现。所有的实相系统都是开放的，它们之间的划分是为了方便而武断决定的，但所有的实相系统全都同时存在，并且彼此支持、相互增益。因此你的所作所为也都反映在“可能的自己”的经验上，反之亦然。

按照你的开放与接受程度，你可以从“可能的自己”的各种经验中获益，也可以从他们的知识与才能中获益。再说，你也常常自发地在梦中这样做，而看起来仿佛是灵感的东西，却往往是另一个自己想过却没有实现的思想。是你调准频率接收并实现了它，你明白吗？

你曾斟酌却没利用过的想法，也可以被其他可能的自己以同样的方式得到。自然，每一个可能的自己都认为自己才是真正的“你”，而对他们任何一个来说，你就是他可能的自己；但透过“内在感官”，你们全都能觉知到自己是这个完形的一部分。

灵魂不是个已完成的作品。

事实上它根本不能说是个作品，而是一个“成为”的过程。“一切万有”也不是个已完成或未完成的作品。有可能的人就有可能的神；但这些可能的神全都是你称之为“一切万有”的灵魂或本体的一部分，正如你可能的自己全是你灵魂或本体的一部分一样。

当然，对“一切万有”来说，可能的现实维度远远超过你目前可用的那些维度。从某种意义上说，你曾用你的思想与欲望创造了许多可能的神。他们在其他存在层面成为了相当独立而有效的精神实体。这唯一的“一切万有”所知觉的，不仅是它自己的本质与所有意识的本质，还有它那无限量的可能自己。这样谈下去，主题已无法用文字表达了，所有的话都已毫无意义。

“一切万有”的本质只能通过“内在感官”来直接感觉，或在一个较弱的沟通里，通过灵感或直觉来感受。这种实相世界不可思议的复杂性无法用言语去诠释。

The soul can be described as a multidimensional, infinite act. Each minute probability being brought somewhere into actuality and existence; an infinite creative act that creates for itself infinite dimensions in which fulfillment is possible.

The tapestry of your own existence is simply such that the three-dimensional intellect cannot behold it. These probable selves, however, are a portion of your identity or soul, and if you are out of contact with them it is only because you focus upon physical events and accept them as the criteria for reality.

From any given point of your existence, however, you can glimpse other probable realities, and sense the reverberations of probable actions beneath those physical decisions that you make. Some people have done this spontaneously, often in the dream state. Here the rigid assumptions of normal waking consciousness often fade, and you can find yourself performing those physically rejected activities, never realizing that you have peered into a probable existence of your own.

If there are individual probable selves, then of course there are probable earths, all taking roads that you have not adopted. Beginning with an act of imagination in the waking state, you can sometimes follow for a short way into the “road not taken”.”

Go back to our man at the telephone, mentioned earlier. Let us say that he tells his friend he will not go. At the same time, if he imagines that he took another alternative and agreed on the engagement, then he might experience a sudden rift of dimensions. If he is lucky and the circumstances are good, he might suddenly feel the full validity of his acceptance as strongly as if he had chosen it physically. Before he realizes what is happening, he might actually feel himself leave his home and embark upon those probable actions that physically he has chosen not to perform.

For the moment, however, the full experience will rush upon him. Imagination will have opened the door and given him the freedom to perceive, but hallucination will not be involved. This is a simple exercise that can be tried in almost any circumstance, although solitude is important.

Such an experiment will not carry you too far, however, and the probable self who has chosen the action that you denied, is in important respects quite different from the self that you know. Each mental act opens up a new dimension of actuality. In a manner of speaking, your slightest thought gives birth to worlds.

This is not a dry metaphysical statement. It should arouse within you the strongest feelings of creativity and speculation. It is impossible for any being to be sterile, for any idea to die, or any ability to go unfulfilled. 

Each probable system of reality of course then creates other such systems, and any one act, realized, brings forth an infinite number of “unrealized” acts that will also find their actualization. Now all systems of reality are open. The divisions between them are arbitrarily decided upon as a matter of convenience, but all exist simultaneously, and each one supports and adds to the other. So what you do is also reflected to some degree in the experience of your probable selves, and vice versa.

To the extent that you are open and receptive, you can benefit greatly by the various experiences of your probable selves, and can gain from their knowledge and abilities. Quite spontaneously, again, you often do this in the dream state, and often what seems to you to be an inspiration is a thought experienced but not actualized on the part of another self. You tune in and actualize it instead, you see.

Ideas that you have entertained and not used may be picked up in this same manner by other probable you＇s. Each of these probable selves consider themselves the real you, of course, and to any one of them you would be the probable self; but through the inner senses all of you are aware of your part in this gestalt.

The soul is not a finished product. 

In fact it is not a product in those terms at all, but a process of becoming. All That Is is not a product, finished or otherwise, either. There are probable gods as there are probable men: but these probable gods are all a part of what you may call the soul of，or the identity of，All That Is; even as your probable selves are all a portion of your soul or entity.

The dimensions of actuality possible to All That Is of course far exceed those presently available to you. In a manner of speaking, you have created many probable gods through your own thoughts and desires. They become quite independent psychic entities, validities in other levels of existence. The one All That Is is aware not only of its own nature and of the nature of all consciousness, but is also aware of its infinite probable selves. We go here toward subjects in which words become meaningless.

The nature of All That Is can only be sensed directly through the inner senses, or, in a weaker communication, through inspiration or intuition. The miraculous complexity of such reality cannot be translated verbally.
