“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Existence within this system involves creation indeed and creation involves development and new dimensions. Consciousness opened up new dimensions of activity, development and awareness. Physical existence became fact. There is no degradation involved. Anyone who tells you this is telling you that automatically by being human you are to some extent damned, even though the terms of salvation are open and available and such is not the case. The excerpts from the book that Ruburt read from in class earlier this evening were highly distorted but they were less damaging, the excerpts read in particular, than the excerpts you just described.

Human existence, again, represents growth and development and the birth of consciousness into a different and new dimension of activity. You did not fall down a tunnel of degradation from which you must then rise. This is unfortunately one of the main distortions that have come down through the centuries and that is the only point I felt strongly enough that I should interfere with your fine rendition.

That is an example of using the intellect as a leash if I ever heard one. Now, you are all different aspects of whole selves or entities. You are different aspects. Now think you are different aspects. A whole puzzle exists, a crossword puzzle is on the table. Imagine it. It exists as a whole. You may have a large segment or small segments. Now, is a small segment less developed than a whole, larger segment of the same puzzle, and where is their placement in time? They exist as a whole. The various pieces are aspects of a whole but in this the puzzle is always changing and never the same. You have various aspects of consciousness.

Now, you all have access, quite literally, to the energy that rides the universe that you know. Not indirect access, not second-handed access, but immediate personal access. The portion of yourself that you think of as a higher self exists now only awaiting your recognition and while it seems to you that you are looking for it I tell you again it is within, and it is within the self that you already know.

(To Dennis and Giselle.) You both have been learning very much and when you are ready to become consciously aware of what you have learned in the past week it will rise to the surface of your consciousness.
