“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(To Sue:) You did very well. Now because you are interested in probabilities you will have many more experiences along those lines. We will hopscotch back and forth and with our friend Ruburt, for this is also one of his main lines of interest, but your own experience can be used to benefit by the class at large for you must be led to see that you can alter physical events in such a way. You must be led to see that there are other dimensions of reality in which you also have your existence, and that you are not limited to the three-dimensional system that you know. Now when you are quieted and when you are in the dream state or when you are doing psychological time then you free yourself from the three-dimensional system and allow your consciousness to recognize other portions of its own reality. Now I have been very busy with all of you.

(To Sally.) I have also been over here but we have a very scary soul indeed for she runs the other way. You think of the body as a warm house, indeed, and you are loathe to leave it. You will leave it one day, nevertheless, and you had better get used to it now and learn the ropes. Don’t come crying to me then, for I will say I told you 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.

In the case of each individual with which you were concerned the basic problem was the same. The individual had lost a sense of the reality and meaning and purpose of his own identity. They sought their identity, therefore, in other realms of existence because they could not understand what it was in this one and so this is meant to lead you to open those gates, that you know exist, to your own inner self.

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.
