“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

That is frightening, but it goes to show you that even I have things to learn... That the shock of birth is far greater than the shock of death. For when you are born again, then you must completely readjust and learn to operate in a strange and alien environment. When you die, there are no such strong adjustments. Circumstances vary, but if you are lucky—and I hope you will be lucky—then your intellectual faculties will continue to operate. Attending this class they certainly should. And so there is instead triumph, for you say, “I am dead, and still I am I” You will dance a merry dance!

When (to Maureen) Itruly believe that you exist, then I will expect you to believe that I exist. Until then, keep your own opinion. I find it enjoyable and somewhat amusing, but I always respect the workings of honest skepticism and intellectual critical analysis. It is good and healthy.

In my own book, for an intellectual exercise—and simply for that, since I do believe that all of you do exist—I am going to deal in one chapter with the difficulties of proving—from my vantage point—that three-dimensional reality does exist and is inhabited by creatures—thinking creatures.

In the intellectual development of the idea I shall, of course, decide that you exist. Though to do so I must follow you in your pursuits through the days. For how do I know that you exist if I do not see you? Otherwise, you take it for granted, you see, that your physical bodies are quite obvious. They may be to you but to me they are highly hallucinary.

Soon, you see, you will all be able to read the Seth material. You all have good minds. You are not used to using them. You set up barriers and gates and limitations, and the material demands your high intellectual focus. I want you to use your intuitions, but I also want you to use your intellects. Some of you still have to learn to use them and how to give them freedom. I spoon-fed you. And I added a bit of sugar here and there. But if you continue here in classes, more and more you will have to give. You will have to give your high intellectual purpose and learn to use your minds as you never used them before. I am a tricky old character.
