When you combine the ideas of probabilities, that everything's happening now, and focus ...you realize that bringing about the future you want is quite achievable, and what might seem like million-to-one odds are really one-to-one odds. It also helps you realize that you are the hero of your own drama, and that every life is as significant as any other.

In this session we discuss the 25 basic concepts of the Big Picture Perspective. If you'd like to adopt this perspective for yourself, but you feel it's too complex and would prefer something simpler, four simple suggestions are provided at the end of the discussion.

With our ego consciousness we are experiencing one probable version of the many probable realities we could have chosen to focus on. Here we explain how our experiment got the way it is, and why we need now to develop the "Big Picture Perspective" in order to keep advancing.

We're co-creators of the world we experience when we spirits agree to enter the Human Time-Space Illusion. We have a number of purposes for deciding to experience one probability of this reality. In the process we help to create the experience of All That Is.

Here we start to address some of the Big Questions all of us have about our life and afterlife, e.g., Who is God, why do we keep coming back, what's the purpose of creation, and more.

Cause and effect is certainly the operating mechanism in our daily reality. But since our reality is an illusion that we agree to experience when we enter the Human-Time/Space Illusion, and we know outside of it there is no time and everything is happening at once, then we can't have cause and effect. Instead, when our conscious awareness is expanded in the so-called death states, we come to understand that focus is the main determinant of what we experience. We are in effect "focusing machines," and we bring a particular reality into focus with our beliefs, expectations and emotions, whether they be positive or negative.

Most of us don't know it, but each of us has many probable versions of ourselves, with each probable version believing it is the real, genuine me. All together, all the probable selves function as one "focus personality" of the Big You, i.e, a personality tightly focused on earth reality in order to function here. The Big You has other focus personalities in your present, as well as in the past and future, though it's all happening now. Those in the present are "counterparts," while those in other time frames are reincarnational selves. As you'll learn here, there is no real separation among our ego selves, focused in tightly on only one reality, our "inner self" which is aware of many realities, and our Big Self, which creates us and we in turn help to create it. So you're a powerful, eternal spirit even though you're not aware of it!

Here I introduce Seth, a spirit or "energy personality essence" who has completed the reincarnational cycle of human lives and deaths on earth. Seth is part of a group of spirits that choose to do some "volunteer work." They slip in and out of different realities and time frames to explain to the inhabitants of those realities the true "illusory" nature of the world they perceive, and the underlying "bedrock" reality supporting their illusory reality.

Joe McMoneagle was the lead psychic in the Army's 20-year program using psychically gifted people to help us in matters of vital national security. He has been in the Oval Office more than once, and helped us greatly in a major hostage situation. If given two of three reference points, he can go with his consciousness to the destination desired. The three reference points are time, the coordinates (longitude and latitude), and an event. He's been proven to be highly accurate. His experiences of going back to the time of Jesus walking the earth, the Kennedy assassination and other events are interesting and enlightening.

Meredith Young-Sowers attended the introductory Gateway Program at The Monroe Institute and developed abilities as an empathic, able to sense and see a person's physical and emotional energies, to understand what lies behind their physical or emotional disease or disturbance, and help them. She also developed an ability to communicate with plants. Mark, who wishes to remain anonymous, developed healing abilities and helped people by making past-life connections clear to them. He also developed the ability to communicate regularly with spirit entities who provided insights and guidance on many subjects, including highly technical ones that Mark could not otherwise understand.
