So a clear link exists--between consciousness & matter. That much is settled.
In other transcripts, they said that most power to alter reality resides in the belief centers of the mind. This strongly hints at manifestation I think.
Now Seth is more explicit. He flatly says consciousness creates matter.
In Chapter 5 of Seth Speaks ("How Thoughts Form Matter"), the process is described in great detail. I've gone over this material repeatedly, comparing it to numerous comments made by C's on the subject. And have yet to come up with any strong contradiction. (Although I did find a variance in their foundational assertions. Seth starts with "Consciousness Units". But the C's begin with "Information." No small difference!)
Aside from that, everything seems good.
There's also convergence regarding the reason why this linkage exist. It's a teaching tool. To show us (through physical manifestation) the consequences of our thoughts. To hammer home the point that our thoughts MATTER ... through our experiential reaction to physical matter.
I believe this IS the key lesson. The "simple understanding" hinted at by the C's but never elaborated upon. I had hoped they would at some point make this explicit. But so far they have not (to the best of my knowledge.) Hence my own feeble attempt.
And I think I found it in the Seth material. Not Seth himself, but from a personality known as Seth II, as mentioned by Seth. Interestingly, he called Seth II his "future self."
And here's what Seth II had to say about the nature & purpose of these simple lessons:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The human race is a stage through which various forms of consciousness travel.
Before you can be allowed into systems of reality that are more extensive and
open, you must first learn to handle energy. And see, through physical
materialization, the concrete results of thoughts & emotion.
In more advance systems, thoughts & emotions are automatically & immediately
translated into action. Therefore, the lessons must be learned well.
The responsibility for creation must be clearly understood.
If you realize that you create your physical reality through your own thoughts and
desires, then you have learned the most important aspects of reality. This is what
you've been setting out to do in your other lives, in your past existences.
The realization of these truths--nullifies so-called debts from other lives.
When you realize this, and act on it, there's no reason for you to come back here
again, unless you want to.
Any of your difficulties in past lives were caused because you did not realize these
basic truths.
You are in physical existence to learn & understand that your energy, translated
into feelings, thoughts & emotions causes ALL experience. There're NO exceptions.
If you still do not realize that you create the reality that you know, then you return.
And again you learn to manipulate. Again and again, you see results of your own
inner reality as you meet it objectified.
You teach yourself the lesson until you've learned it. And when you have, then
you have begun to learn how to handle the consciousness that is your--
intelligently and well.
The very point of physical existence is that you realize your thought become matter
while you're here.
You are meant to judge physical reality. To realize that it's a materialization
of your thoughts and feelings and images. That the inner self forms that world.
You cannot be allowed to go into other dimensions until you have learned the
power of your thoughts & subjective feelings.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The above is a direct explanation of why we are here (from Seth II.) And the purpose of this school.
I have substantial sympathy for this line of thought. I've approached it from several angles. So far, I see no contradiction to the C's assertions. In fact I find general agreement. I also find great similarity to the Madhyamika (Nagarjuna) school of Buddhist thought. Especially in regards to meditation and imaginative practices.
It so reminds me of Goyacobol's transcript highlights involving Faith -- Psychic Orientation -- and Meditation.
As our "time" is running short, I feel an inner urge to lay things out explicitly as best I see them. To share. Even at risk of appearing either foolish or veering off track. Regardless, I can assure you of this, that I've put in serious time, effort and thought into these questions.
FWIW.

One way to look at it could be;
What if everything that exists right now is already your manifestation in concert with all "other" beings' manifestations guided by "gravity" which is a 7th density guiding or binding principle.
Meaning, right now, in this moment, you are manifesting the entire universe.
This has to do with karma and lessons, as well as the specific path that unfolded for each being prior to their final (current) form.
Sure, you could learn how to manifest some specific thing more quickly, especially when in higher density mode, but what is the purpose ?
If it's done in order to force something or because the being would like a specific outcome then there's still fear / desire / aversion present.
I know that you're familiar with this line of thought already.
It has an eastern flavor and also coincides with "anticipate not".
I too don't really see any incompatibilities between what Seth expounds and what the C's do.
There are different styles for illumination, as it were.
Agree. How could any being handle more direct manifestation, when it occurs, if it occurs, before they learn to know themselves and to be balanced ?
It would just go splat. Also again, I think the more important lesson isn't learning that we DO manifest, even though it is vastly important, but understanding What to manifest and Why to manifest.
Because IMO the questions of What and Why, when answered with knowledge and balance are the roads to STO polarization.
STO polarization being much more important than merely going "up" a level.
What use is it to graduate if you just continue to create more false selves afterwards but instead do it infinitely more ?
Thankfully, Even in 4d, STS can still move to STO.
I definitely understand this. I can say that this feeling is shared. I'm not sure our "time" is running short though.
I really do believe that there is a balancing in process. A natural one, not man made in the constricted sense.
What's happening now can be equated, I think, with each person accepting their assignment for studies and going to their respective classrooms. This doesn't necessarily mean that many people have to exist the shared reality. People have existed side by side for ages while going through their respective lessons "individually". (I use quotation marks here in light of our interactive nature with others).
As for the last part which I've underlined, It is very obvious that you have done major thinking and on many levels.
Personally, I thoroughly enjoy your posts and am sure that they are helpful to many people who read them including those who prefer not to be active participants in the conversation.
Great discussion guys, I liked the Quote of Seth -
"Before you can be allowed into systems of reality that are more extensive and
open, you must first learn to handle energy. And see, through physical
materialization, the concrete results of thoughts & emotion.
In more advance systems, thoughts & emotions are automatically & immediately
translated into action. Therefore, the lessons must be learned well.
The responsibility for creation must be clearly understood."
Tom Campbell mentions this concept when his consciousness is projected into non-physical reality. There may be the form of a rock in the non-physical, but he can change the rock into something else or simply delete the existence of the rock. In physical reality there are various rule-sets to prevent this kind of manifestation (although I've seen some amazing incidents that would be hard pushed to be related to 'coincidence').
Such abilities should carry a strong responsibility and it seems clear this physical reality is where we learn to 'grow up' enough to exercise that responsibility.
I still don't grasp all the issues related to gravity. - OK, consciousness can 'collapse the wave form' to create an aspect of physical reality from the various data streams. That much I'm comfortable with.
The resulting physical forms have an element of attraction/gravity, which seems like it is the 'glue' that keeps the physical together at least for some period of 'time'. The consciousness may move on to other projects and the strength of the 'glue' of gravity keeps the manifestation together. So what determines the strength of the 'glue'? Is some of the consciousness still resident in the physical reality manifestation?
Here's another issue related to gravity. Perhaps the strong pull of the Earth's gravity tends to keep lesser developed consciousness tightly bound to the Earth. Think of it as the fence around a school yard or a compound for the 'consciousness challenged'.
Perhaps physicists have asked these questions, but I've only got a basic college Newtonian physics background, so something like a UFT is way above my pay grade.
One of reoccurring issues on the forum is the 'graduation' to 4D. This is where I come back to my questions about the 'breakaway civilisation'. Perhaps there is a group that has learned to 'graduate', that is, that can exist in both the 3D and 4D by focusing their intent. If so, then it could be informative if the C's were asked questions about the existence of the breakaway civilisation and if it does exist, what is the criteria for 'membership'.

What's the criteria for finishing third grade ?
If you buy a fake university degree does that mean that you have the knowledge that the degree symbolizes ?
The crossover to higher functioning could happen an infinite amount of ways, but pushing it and trying to get there faster is sts.
IMO, it's better to go with the natural flow of things. Obviously this doesn't mean to be lazy.
So there's a breakaway civilization.. The whole planet is a breakaway civilization and it's breaking away from itself continuously.
Edit: fixed quote box.
On finds the quote used in The Wave Chapter 70: You Take the High Road and I’ll Take the Low Road and I’ll Be in Scotland Afore Ye!
It turns out it is from: The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond written in its modern version by Robert Burns. The singer Ella Roberts has made a version of "The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond"
"The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond", or "Loch Lomond"
There are two versions, one in light Scots, see here:
And in English:
Interpretation
According to the Wiki
There is a different interpretation, but before that more about Jacobitism where the Wiki writes:
Nurseryrhymescollections.com suggest include a more critical interpretation.
I wondered who the professional soldiers were, suspecting they might have been officers. Indeed, as one in the Wiki about the Battle of Culloden finds: "The high-ranking "rebel lords" were executed on Tower Hill in London.":

That was a beautiful version of the Banks of Loch Lomond. I always associate it with the song, Red is the Rose which I used to sing as a kid, particularly one by Makem and Clancy:

Perhaps apropos to Guru Ramana Maharshi's conception that "Reality is described by Consciousness". They are two sides of a coin. The lover and the beloved. Consciousness is needed to describe gravity, while gravity is required to express consciousness. instead of a 2d representation of a yin yang symbol on a flat piece of paper, the two elements are represented in 3d as inverted spiral cones.
I'm not sure how to represent a 4d figure, but to do so would require a conceptualization germane to 4d appropriate to variable physicality. And then perhaps the elements require a fundamental reimaging at the point of 5d perception to continue to represent the relationship.
Should read consciousness
