“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane described her feelings and experiences at her father-in-law’s funeral. Theodore M. told of his experiences in the Great Hall and Joel related his experiences with his personality, Bill. The question was raised, where is consciousness when one is in trance?)

Now, I cannot sing along with Mitch, but I do have something to say to this one (Sue) and that one (Joel) and, to some extent, to all of you and it is this. There is no need to justify your existence. You do not need to write or preach to justify your existence. Being is its own justification. You do not have to knock your gut out, in other words, either of you and this also applies to our friend, Ruburt. Consciousness is its own justification, and this goes for each of you. Only when you realize this, can you begin to utilize your freedom. Otherwise you try too hard.

(To Joel) The word “unfold,” that you spoke earlier, is far nearer to any understanding of the truth. The unfolding has already occurred. You have only to accept it. If you become too determined to justify your existence then you will begin to close out areas of your life.

([Joel:] “Didn’t you say earlier, referring to the woman who was born in a minority race, that her challenges had been set up by a previous personality in our terms?”)

([Joel:] “I wondered if a previous personality had accomplished this or if when that personality went back and became apart of the whole self and this period of reevaluation, if that’s when the decision was made?”)

([Joel:] “I understand. I just wasn’t sure if I had misunderstood that you had said this set of circumstances had been decided by a previous personality, in our terms, and I thought you had probably meant by the whole self.”)

(To Joel) Now you have good energy and a good clear channel open. Use it and use it together.

([Joel:] “We will.”)
