“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, ancient Rome exists and so does Egypt and Atlantis. You not only form the future, as you think of it, but you also form the past. Now, again, you have been told simple tales and they are delightful tales, but if you were not ready to hear more, you would not be in this room.

Your personality is truly multidimensional, and after you have been here for some time, you will realize what the words multi-dimensional really mean, for they mean that you are not imprisoned within time, as you know it, in any way. And your reincarnated selves, or personalities, are not imprisoned in their time, as you think of time. There is a constant interchange going on between what you think of as your present self and what you think of as your past self and what you may think of as your future self. And if this were not the case, then I would not be speaking here for I am not Ruburt’s past self.

Now, each personality is free and you are never imprisoned within time. Each personality is independent. Each personality, therefore, is its own man or, if Ruburt will forgive me, is its own woman. Time has open ends in all directions or such a thing as probabilities would not exist. Therefore, actions that you make now can help a so-called past personality. And a so-called future personality will step in and help you along your weary way, but also, your actions now can also affect the future personality as well as the past one.

I do not know what to do with you. We learned what spices would do way before the present generation got hung up on grass, and we sniffed oregano on the high seas, and we got high on the high seas sniffing oregano. We brought spices up to Denmark, and we had delightful trips, indeed. We also explored and we went down as far as Africa, and then we came back to the fine provincial people in Denmark and sold them the spices that we had left. I was quite a gourmet.

They are, indeed. You cannot conceivably perceive them. Now, in certain conditions, however, the inner self abandoning its usual reliance upon the physical senses is aware of these periods that would seem to you to be negations.

(To Gert) These periods, therefore, of seeming disappearance and this is what you were perceiving at that time. My remark of bad eyes was a pun, therefore, that you did not understand. If you are using your good physical eyes you would not have “seen” a thing.

([Joel:] “Would a noninterval be a positive interval to another aspect of our existence?”)

It is, indeed, and they would not perceive your existence here, for them it would be a noninterval.
