“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This was a warning given by the personality himself. He frightened himself into returning to his body for he had been away from it too long. He was dilly-dallying where he did not belong, and he was getting into realities that did not concern him. He was like a truant so he caused the hallucination so that he would return to his body. Now the nature of the hallucination was his own doing. He used his own fears to cause the hallucination. He was not discriminate. He was not using his common sense. He knew it was time to return to the body, and he decided to stay out of it despite the nature of inclination to return, and so he made a nightmare for himself to frighten himself home like the errant boy that he was. And in almost all cases this is what occurs.

Now bodies are not at such a high premium. They are not as valuable as you may suppose. There are simply not that many personalities anxious for physical existence. You put a very high premium upon your physical life. In many cases, however, those who have left it are glad to leave it behind. They are not all that anxious to get back in.

(To Sue:) Your dream was quite legitimate. Mathilda was a very nice person in many ways, despite the family relationships.

The other personality is myself without the illustration. You like me far better in disguise. I have not lived many, many lives without a deep understanding of your own kind of reality and problems, but I have not had many other existences that are not physical without a deep understanding of the nature of reality as it is not apparent to you now. As you reach out to find the nature of reality, so do these other beings reach out to understand the nature of realities that they have created. And each of you create more realities than you understand.

And we will get to it but it does not look as if we will get to it tonight. Now in our class sessions there are many things with which I want to deal and when each of you are ready for personal material you will get it.

All of our regular students attend classes, whether you know it or not. I get you here once a week, as a rule, but I also get you in other dimensions of reality. You all have tasks to perform. Some of you do help persons who have immediately left this system to acclimate to the new conditions. You are smarter when you are asleep than when you are awake. You are learning as much then, therefore, as you do between lives. That is a point that I wanted to make. In your waking existence you are simply focused upon physical reality. When the body sleeps you are no longer focused within it, instead you embark upon other adventures and, in your terms, you advance your own education.
