“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I am in the position of teaching Ruburt and Joseph, and their responsibility is to teach others. They could accept this situation or not. The choice was up to them. Their own development however would not be as complete had they chosen to ignore the responsibility. They know me and they have known me well in past lives, you see, so I was not the stranger to them that they thought I was. This is their last reincarnation, and I tell you it is much easier to solve your problems now than to solve them later, and they are solving theirs now. And in solving theirs, they are helping others also.

Your own entity knows your strong points and your weak points, and it gives you life situations and it hopes that you will solve these problems. No one makes you solve these problems. You can accept them or run away from them. No one tells you that you must develop. Nevertheless, the desire to develop is within you. You will findyour own way. I have been where you are. I am now within the space that you inhabit in this room. You will one day be where I am, and you will have learned many things. I can point the way to you but you must follow that way on your own.

Now, whenever you are truly joyful, you are on the right track. No god ever meant or intended that you suffer. God is a joyful being. To the extent that you do not realize that you exist in Him are you sorrowful. To the extent that you do not develop your abilities and project them into physical realities are you sorrowful. To the extent that you do not live up to your potential are you sorrowful. It is indeed true that you find yourself by losing yourself. You are indeed a part of All That Is. When you attempt to concentrate on the tiny I that you imagine yourself, then indeed you do not know where you are and you cannot find yourself.

Now, Ruburt’s eyes work much better when I am in control of them. I see each of you now with Ruburt’s eyes closed as you have been in past reincarnations and as you will be. And with Ruburt’s eyes closed there is some difficulty for I must focus psychically in order to find you as you think you are now, for I see all of you. I see all of what you are. But it is difficult for me, with Ruburt’s eyes closed, for me to see you as you imagine yourself to be at this particular point in space and time. With Ruburt’s eyes open, I can see you as he sees you as a particular personality in this particular space and time and then, you see, I can place you within your own development.
