“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Most of the dead do not particularly wish to influence the living. Some of us, however, have a particular course to follow as we did, in your terms, in our lifetime. There are many courses that you can follow after death after you have finished your reincarnation. Because when you are finished with your reincarnation, there is not a time when you can say, “There, I have had it. I put in my chips and now I will find peace ever after.” You continue to develop your abilities, but you continue to develop them in dimensions of reality that you do not understand now and so in this existence of mine I am a teacher and I visit other dimensions of actuality such as your own. In this particular instance, I try to affect you so that you will not blow yourselves off the faces of your planet. Because while your planet is dispensable, it is the only one you have right now and there is no use being so wasteful.

You must realize, along those same terms, that you are also responsible for the fantastic body of the earth as you know it. And when you are depressed and worried about the power of destructive thought, realize that on an unconscious basis, you are also responsible for the seasons, and for the skies, and for the mountains, and for all those supportive elements of your planet.
