“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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 briefly, we will continue while Ruburt learns how to manipulate his controls. In dreams you communicate with your own past lives. In dreams you often know who you have been. In dreams you often realize what you have learned. In dreams you restate your challenges and problems. In waking reality, subconsciously you manipulate atoms and molecules so that they result in physical images that appear to you as permanent. They are not permanent. The atoms and molecules as you know, constantly change. But they retain enough semblance of permanency so that you can rely upon their position in space, their size and weight and their depth and physical dimension. You can agree as to their placement in space.

I want you to realize that you as you understand yourselves to be, your individuality, is not changed by this. I have had this same personality with some minor changes throughout the ages, and you are stuck with yours as I am stuck with mine. All the abilities that I have now I have always had. And you have abilities that you are not using, you see, and the sooner you learn to use them the better it will be for you. I want you to realize that while I no longer inhabit your physical system, the human personality that is mine and thus has filled many physical forms, still exists. I am still learning. I still have work to do and you will still have work to do. You will set challenges for yourselves.

There is a short time between lives when you rest and when you take stock of what you have learned and where you are. But true peace is within you now. And if you do not realize it, it is not because peace does not exist. It is because you have closed yourselves off from peace, and joy springs out of peace. Joy cannot come from unease and dissatisfaction. You will not find peace after this unless you know peace within yourselves now. The kingdom of peace is not on some planet, not four blocks down and three blocks across, not a million light years away and miraculously will you find it. The kingdom of peace is within each of you now and if you realize this, then indeed you dwell in peace and from peace comes your security and confidence and joy.
