“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In certain portions of your world there were memories from other peoples and other layers of existence, and these memories for some time remained. They were part of your racial unconscious as it developed. You knew for example, some of you, that in other existences you had other abilities and used them well. Some of you, in previous existences, before this planet was as you know it, were a part of highly technical civilizations which you ruined out of avarice and greed and ignorance; spiritual ignorance. And so you began once again as savages. And yet no knowledge can be removed from you and no sense of your identity, past, present or future, can be divided from you and as you yourself do the dividing. And so in your dreams you remember the past in which you have been involved and so it seemed to you these had been forced out of a garden. Now this particular situation was reenacted many times and many places and not in one way only.

The rest (to Gert) of the ghost affair—so you decided to start over and to hide from yourself your earlier errors. You did not have a conscious rapport. It is difficult to start an exam the second time when you knew you failed it the first time around. So you started out with great vigor trying to hide from yourself the fact that you had tried this before. No sense of original sin, however, is implied. This was your interpretation of certain perceptions. It was much easier to believe that you had been kicked out of a garden of paradise than to realize that you ruined it yourselves. Do you follow me?

When you know what it is, you will be on your own. You will be working with two segments of people though you only think you will be working with one segment. You see yourself with young people, but you will also be working with very old people. And that is all I will say to you about it right now. It will be your own and in your own way.
