“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Though you cannot find me, you know that I am here. Though your own parents seem to disappear before your eyes and vanish into eternity forever, so it seems that all that you are will also disappear. I can assure you that your parents will live. I can assure you that death is another beginning, that when you are dead, you are not silenced. For is this silence? Is this presence that you sense here now within this room, death? I am more alive than many who walk the face of your planet now. More alive than some of your professors and friends, for aliveness is dependent upon the state of your consciousness, dependent upon your awareness, your ability to perceive and to feel.

I am here to tell you that your joy [is] not dependent upon your youth, for I am hardly young. I am here to tell you that your joy is not dependent upon your physical body, for I have none. I am here to tell you that your joy is not dependent upon your nervous system or physical form, since I have none. I have what I have always had, the identity that is mine. It is never diminished. It grows and develops.

I am here to tell you that what you are is not even dependent upon what you feel or touch... You cannot touch me and yet you know I am here in the room...

I am joyful though there is no physical heart that I have claim to. And I am in this room, though there is no object within which you can place me. And you are not within any object. You are as disembodied as I. You have a vehicle to use, a body that you call your own, and this is all. I borrow Ruburt’s, with his consent, but what I am is not dependent upon atoms or molecules, and what you are is not dependent upon physical matter. Your own consciousness is part of each season. You are not limited by the bones of your skull.

I want you to feel your own vitality. Sit quietly for some moments in a room alone and feel your own identity grow and reach out. Feel it travel through the universe and know that it is not dependent upon your physical image. For you form your own physical universe—it does not form you.
