“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. There has been energy present in this room, and strong energy, this evening. But you have not been serious enough about using it, nor have you been playful enough to use it without serious note. You may use it in two ways, you see. You may play with it and use it marvelously—or you may use it seriously—but in between you will not use it at all, for you cannot harness it. And in your own daily activities, in your playful moments, you can almost achieve the freedoms that the inner self knows. And in your most serious moments, you can almost achieve the freedom that the inner self knows. But in your mundane moments, you will not achieve it. And when you half try, you will not achieve it.

You exist, therefore, now within this reality as present and immediate as you are now—although, in my terms, more than fifty centuries of your time has elapsed since your seemingly present existence.

Know that within your physical atoms now the origins of all consciousness still sings and that all the human characteristics by which you know yourselves, still exist within the eye of all our consciousness, never diminished, but always present. Your individualities never diminished, not only never diminished but gaining in experience.
