Regarding the Seth quote, and Rudy’s interpretation of what happened to him …
There is another interesting Seth quote:
Also:
I believe that we should interpret the experiences we have while awake (not sleeping) in the same way we (should) interpret our dreams. This interpretation can be done only by the experiencer, as the symbolism has relevance only to them, and only in that instance.
Generally we should try to uncover the deeper meaning, not stop at the obvious, as it seemed that Rudy did. Nothing wrong with getting only the benefit of wisdom we are able to; it’s still better than nothing.
Most of us think of themselves in terms of these-we-that-we-are-aware-of, and don’t have a model of the various aspects of our whole-beings: who/what creates, who/what directs, who/what produces the show of our reality, and who/what observes it; surely, and why all this.
I think that many people misinterpret the “en masse” part of Seth’s teachings. It isn’t about a consensus, a negotiation.
Each one of us (at whole-self level) creates the whole reality they experience, like in a dream (in dreams’ conventional interpretation). We create our dreams using elements from the awake-reality, but also elements that aren’t part of that, without being aware which is which, that in fact it doesn’t matter.

How to change this? By getting in touch with our inner source of guidance, with the other aspects of our personalities, by practicing exercises like psychological-time, dream and reality interpretation, …
