“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!

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.
