“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I am pleased that you have some good reading material for a change. We will have to see what can be done so that the practice can be continued. I am very pleased with your progress, and if I do not come through with a voice as light as a butterfly, that does not mean that I am a lightweight. I sit in on all your sessions and I am deeply amused at times, but always pleased. I have come to let you know simply that I have not deserted you. My friend here (Rachel) thought perhaps that I would be silent, but I cannot for long remain silent. It is simply that you must do your studying. You must concentrate and learn and I will not distract you.

It is springtime here and I hope that all your hearts are fluttering. I would give you if I could some idea to let you know that your problems are fleeting, but I can only tell you this. The feeling I cannot give you. That must be your own.

I come here from a long way, but not too much is lost in the transition. There is joy also in the universe besides your problems, and the joy is paramount. Because I am the source of material I tell you: study it. There are many answers in the material that will solve or help you solve many problems that seem so difficult, but you must solve your own problems. For solving them is a challenge and helps your own development.

... is precisely how I shall operate in the future. For I have indeed led you on in this regard, and quite cold-heartedly, for you must have your little wonders and your little spectaculars to begin with to whet your appetite. Though I am hardly spectacular, I will have to do. The material which I have given is not given in a jovial manner, even though I speak jovially at times, and for your own development it is imperative that you understand it and apply it. Like any good teacher I realize that you need incentive, and I shall supply them, and in good measure indeed. But you do not as yet know your other selves and you will meet them. Even you (to Florence) will meet them.

([Theodore:] “About problems, I’m wondering whether to make a distinction between a problem which is a personal thing in nature that we must solve on our own, and a problem that is not so personally oriented but community oriented where the decision you have affects someone else and can be a wrong solution. And doesn’t affect you personally, necessarily.”)

Now, I speak jokingly to you, telling you that I am the origin of the material, and therefore you must listen to it and study it. The fact remains that I am also a channel through which this information comes to you. And as yet you have little idea of its significance and meaning, not only to you personally. It makes little difference that I transmit it and that Ruburt receives it. The material itself, however, is the important issue here. I receive it and interpret it from our sources, as I have told my friends. Ruburt has always been cautious here, for when I tell him of the significance of the material, then he wonders about the aspect of his own personality. But I tell you and I tell you frankly that the personality by which I show myself to you is but a small aspect of my whole personality. And that personality is not cold. You simply do not understand it, therefore I come to you in terms that you can understand, and these characteristics of mine that seem so cozy are to some extent devious. They are my characteristics as I am, but also as I was. For I am no longer what I was.

What the material tells you about the nature of your own reality is the closest you can come now to an approximation of the truth. No one, not even I, can hand you proof on a golden platter. You must understand what it is. Our beloved monster here (the cat) intuitively knows what is involved, and you know intuitively, but we want you to understand consciously.

You must, you should realize, that your own personalities exist in realities of which you do not know, and yet a portion of you is so aware of these existences. You find me impersonal as Ruburt does, and yet it is simply because you do not understand the gestalt of personality and action and the meaning of identity. For my own identity is aware of many other personalities that are my own. You are also a portion of other such personalities, but egotistically you are not aware of them. Seth is a part of what I am and I know him well. It is difficult for me to explain to you what I am since the components of my reality are so different, and yet intuitively, intuitively you realize your own greater reality, and that includes the knowledge of what I am.

To me, your universe is perhaps as a star might appear to you. I do not perceive it clearly, but when I focus upon it, then I can perceive your psychic reality and your individual intensities. It is only the psychic distances between us that make me appear so alien to you, for my personality structure is far different from your own. I transmit information to Seth, who then interprets it for Ruburt. The information that I have would not be understandable to you in my terms, and therefore must be interpreted and translated.

What you experience as emotion I experience in a sort of mathematical intensity, and translate. The inner senses will help you perceive other dimensions. You will therefore not be as imprisoned within the reality that you consider ultimate. I am here simply at Seth’s request to tell you that the dimension that you know is but a small spot in the all of reality, and also, that your concept of a god is highly distorted by three-dimensional concepts and ideas.

Your own reality continues, it not only involves reincarnations, but existences in other realities besides the one that you know. As the material has clearly specified, your own existence continues in probable universes along the lines charted in the inverted time theory. I have never been physical in your terms. This does not mean I am not real.
