“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Your religious ideas have often told you that deformities at birth were the result of the parents’ sins cast upon the children, or that another kind of punishment was involved in terms of “karma.” In terms of biology, people talk about coming from good stock or bad stock, and even those designations imply moral judgments.

Jane’s consciousness had left her sleeping body in the bedroom and traveled to her writing room at the back of the house. She’d encountered me there, in my own out-of-body state, and we engaged in a very animated conversation. Afterward she insisted that I’d been out-of-body too, although I have no conscious memory of such an event. We estimated that at the proper time I’d just quit painting for the morning and was washing my brushes at the bathroom sink—a routine task I perform each day, and one that could leave a portion of my psyche free to engage in other adventures. Yet, since I’d been awake while she slept, we speculated that those same habitual cleaning chores had also occupied me enough consciously to mask my awareness of what another part of me was up to.)

Give us a moment…. The out-of-body was the result of a change in attitude, and made possible also because of his (Ruburt’s) body’s relaxation. He was exercising his consciousness, allowing himself greater freedom. A certain portion of your mind was drifting at the time.

You were mentally wandering through the house, the both of you, and Ruburt caught himself where his mind was—only his physical body was not in the same place. Because this was like a mental doodle, the colors were not complete, the picture was not filled in.

The entire conversation was an attempt to make the event seem reasonable, an attempt to color in the picture.
