SETHANDINSTRUMENTSOFPERCEPTION...from ron... Here, in part, Seth discusses scientific instruments and their limitations. Once he said that such instruments have built-in prejudiced perception. That is, the instruments are designed to register results apparent in and result of physical reality. For example, a crude brain wave instrument can register stimulating electrical neurological impulses, but an instrument to read thoughts simply cannot be physically made. Do I hear fortune teller?.. An excerpt from Seth Session 702): Ultimately your use of instruments, and your preoccupation with them as tools to study the greater nature of reality, will teach you one important lesson: The instruments are useful only in measuring the level of reality in which they themselves exist. They help you interpret the universe in horizontal terms, so to speak. In studying the deeper realities within and behind that universe, the instruments are not only useless but misleading. I am not suggesting that their use is futile, however-merely pointing out the limitations inherently involved. So-called objective science gives you a picture, a model, that has served well enough in its own fashion, enabling you to travel to the moon, for example, and to advance in a technology that for a time you set your hearts upon. In the framework of objective science as it now exists, however, even the technology will come up against a stone wall. Even as a means, objective science is only helpful for a while, because it will constantly run up against deeper inner realities that are necessarily shunted aside and ignored simply because of its method and attitude. No objective science or splendid technology alone will keep even one man or woman alive, for example, if that individual has decided to leave the flesh, or finds no joy in daily life. A loving technology, again, would always add to the qualitative and spiritual deepening of experience. The inner order of existence and true science go together. The true scientist is not afraid of identifying with the reality he chooses to study. He knows that only then can he dare to begin to understand its nature. There are many unofficial scientists, true ones in that regard, unknown in this age. Many are quite ordinary people in exterior terms, with other professions. Yet it is no accident that greater discoveries are often made by amateurs - those who are relatively free from official dogmas, released from the pressure to get ahead in a given field-those whose creativity flows freely and naturally in those areas of their natural interest.
