“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, we will see to it that you live very adventurous nights, and those of you who do psychological time and take the physical time necessary to do the experiments, will find the mobility of consciousness—I am using that term because Ruburt likes it so well—that is necessary. You can extend your own conscious knowledge of reality if you are willing to do so.

(To Florence.) I have another point to make to our Lady of Florence though not the point that you particularly want me to make. There is indeed a reason why you have been involved with personalities who have taken their own lives, and I want you to take this to heart. I want you to realize where skepticism and disbelief can lead when an individual carries them to the ultimate. When personalities act upon deep disbelief they encounter hopelessness. Your own personality is set up with strongly contrasting elements, as you yourself know. You are lead strongly toward the search for purpose, and you look deeply toward the meaning of reality and existence. At the same time, however, you are also frightened of committing yourself to your belief and acting upon it wholeheartedly. You chose to become involved in your circle of acquaintanceships with those who have followed one particular line to the ultimate, where belief disappears like the shifting sand until there is no framework upon which the present personality can stand and until, in desperation, the individual leaves this plane of existence where on another level of reality purposes are then made known.

Now, you all have abilities and you must learn to use them. You must use them as our friend here did, not only for your own benefit and edification, but so that you can change the world in which you live for no one will change it for you. Even I cannot change it for you. No God can change it for you for He has given you the creative energy to form your own world, and you can change it through joy and not through dignity. You can change it through active love and not through sobriety. You can change it by letting yourselves go gladly into the nature of creativity and not by holding back. You can change it, therefore, by being yourselves. Not what you have been told you are, but what you discover that you are, and in the discovery you already change and your abilities begin to expand and the limited person that you knew is already a myth.
