“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Seth speaking to Sharon W. after she told of feeling her father’s presence for some time.)

Now, it is extreme egotism to imagine that you can only be alive if you have a body. You are indeed being closed-minded. The voice that I can use on occasion could shatter the small image through which I speak and the spirit that belongs to your parents could not be contained in one bodily form or two. The spirit of your parents is, of course, free. You are free even while you are in the flesh, and I have nothing against the flesh. I have had some time with it through past lives, and found it very handy, indeed, so I am not prejudiced. You are caught up in conventional ideas of this. It is this that frightens you in your dreams. The spirits of your parents are free. Allow them their freedom and speak kindly to them. You would frighten the ghosts away with your own fear. If you had to go through all that they had to go through to contact a beloved daughter, how would you feel if you were met with fear and terror?

(To Gert.) I did not mean that you could skip over the story line the first time, only that you did not need to re-read it. Now, you may all take your break.

([Gert:] “Will the pendulum or psy-time or dreams help us to find this out?”)

Now, the inner self knows the answers and often- times the inner self brings you to this error, this action, or this symptom, so that you will look inward. And now look inward and we will have a break.

(To Sue after stating she had a headache.) You are simply upset over the implications of the probable selves and that caused the headache. Tell yourself that you are doing well in the reality, that you are using your abilities, that you are helping your husband use his and that you have brought to birth an individual who will use his very well. You do not need to feel guilty of the creation of any probable selves. They come into reality with problems, but all of you come into reality with challenges that you have set ahead of time, in your terms. You have given them the gift of existence, they will learn how to use it and develop their own abilities in their own way, for you have also given them individuality which means they are not yourselves, but variations on yourselves. They have many facets of reality and fulfill them often.

Now, at any time you can get out of your own reality and see your own lifetimes and see that they all exist simultaneously. Follow those thoughts and as you read the material in the same way let your imagination take wing.

It is very good and the more proficient you become in psy-time the further you can travel from three-dimensional reality. In your terms, and simply as an image, the further up you can go that not only was there one stack of cards, but many other stacks about it.

Indeed, other portions of your own identity, and as you come even higher you would see that there were other stacks far above the stacks that you originally saw. Now, there is no reason why each of you cannot experience reality, why each of you cannot travel out of the dimensions that you know. Now, in doing so you will find that the personality is as different as, say, this table viewed from different angles and discover all facets of identity with which three-dimensional reality is by nature ignorant. Now, in the dream state you do this, but you can do it in the waking state, and you can do it in times of reverie. You can catch glimpses of your own multidimensional reality, but you must escape three-dimensional existence momentarily in order to do so.
