Frederic asks about the layers of self and how strongly they influence each other, noting that physically he perceives a slowing metabolism with age while other aspects of himself feel better, suggesting the connection between aspects is not absolute.
The Wonders answer that all aspects interrelate completely, and that what he observes as deterioration of the body is an observation built on a lifetime of judgments and justifications that have created psychologies and belief structures in his ego personality which he is still unwilling to remove because they help him navigate third dimensional reality.
They pose a scenario: if he realized without doubt that his physical representation has nothing to do with time but with choice, yet could not convince his wife, child or parents of that realization, his ego personality would remain attached to their validation and he would not truly let go, so he would still manifest a physicality perceived as aging.
They enumerate his attachments - his name, his parents and birth, his wife, child, dog and cat - explaining that these attachments define his personality and ego and give him a sense of completion and beingness, so letting go of them in order to manifest his true physicality would be a shock to mind, ego and personality and would separate him from the very reality he wants to participate in.
In the closing reflection after the session, this is restated: to manifest limitlessness in third dimensional reality one would have to release the attachment to being part of that reality, and human consciousness is generally not willing to do so, which is why people stay within the framework of growing, living and dying.
