“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It does you no good as an infant to recall your success of a life past in your terms, for then you feel twice as helpless. Death is indeed triumphant. Our friend Ruburt feels triumph in this life to have lived as many years as he has, and to find himself strong and hearty—for he feared that adulthood would destroy him. And (to Sue) that is also your own fear.

Now these two (Sue and Daniel’s)—I’m getting to them at a fairly young age in this life. This one (Sue) has abilities from past lives to deal with and to use—and a greater responsibility to use them. This one (Daniel) has the idea that he can skim on through. This is no fun life. It is a work life for you and it is a time for you to produce and develop, and to use your abilities on your own behalf and for others. There is every reason in the world why using your abilities in such a manner should be fun. It should be a time of high adventure, but not a time of laziness—and not a time of skimming through.

You must remember when I speak to you and see you, that I do not see you at the ages that you are. In this life some of you are older and some of you are young, but as entities it may be the other way around. Some of you are very young entities and some of you are old. I would like to say that I am a junior entity—a young sprite. However, this is not the case. And I am pleased that it is not.
