“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now I bid you good evening, and when you realize that you have been many people and that you are many people, then you will realize that you need not think so in terms of age, for you are as much now the young woman that you were back in Naples in the 14th century as the man that you now think you are, and you are not bounded by what you think of as your present age. When you realize that your own personality is indeed multidimensional, then you will realize that your age is a reality that you are presently experiencing, among many other realities. It gives you a certain viewpoint and a certain framework from which to view reality, but it is not the only viewpoint that you have available to you, and it is not the only framework from which your reality springs.

(To Ron.) And this applies even to you who feel that you have so many webs in front of your brain that you cannot possibly see through them, and of course you can, and the webs are there because you want to play with them at this time, and so feel free to do so. It is the viewpoint of reality that you have presently adapted, and as such it is purposely not only valid but important to you. You have adapted it for a reason. From your particular viewpoint at this moment you will learn certain things that you think you could learn in no other way. You are like our friend over here (Phil) nine months ago.

But you are all Sumari despite your ages; despite your sexes; despite the fact that you think you dwell in bodies that are your own and that mean you, for your bodies, of course, cannot hold what you are.

(To Mark.) Now spontaneity knows its own order. It does not need order put upon it from the outside. Some of you fear that spontaneity is destructive. You wonder where it will lead you, but the earth as you know it is spontaneous and you can trust it, and therefore you can also trust the spontaneity of your own nature.

(To Ron.) And so you can go along with your own feelings and trust them. If you trust them, they will lead you to further feelings. When you distrust them then you become buried beneath an avalanche of unrecognized feelings that will not free you.

But remember, all of you, that your reality is structured not in logical terms as you think of logic, but that your most chaotic dream, our redhead over here (Sheila), the most important symbolic episode and experiences that you have that seem so unstructured to you, and you do not understand them; that these have their own inner structure that is intuitive and you understand that structure very well whether or not you consciously admit that recognition.

Indeed, and yet newly created.

([Bette:] “Now when you talk about ancient tonight are you talking about before consciousness, like the physical reality that we are now? Is this the ancient that you are referring to or are you talking about ancient time as we know ancient time?”)

Now the old man, in your terms, that will be, the personal old man that you will be, exists now as the child, in your terms, that you were exists now. You can choose any perspective that you want from which to view the reality that you know. You can choose, therefore, to view the reality that you know from a self, in your terms, that you have been. There is, as I hope all of our regular students know, no past, present and future. Therefore, in your terms, the selves that you were and the selves that you will be exist now. You have only to open your focus of attention and they will become apparent to you.

Now all of you try again not to try. Right off is better than right on, so try not to try. Try, in other words, to feel what you want to do at a given time. To give you a sense of freedom, if you do not want to do anything, do not do anything, and the others should not be offended. A sense of privacy is always respected here, but also realize the sacred nature of spontaneity and of your own feelings, and do not make logical deductions now. You can make logical deductions when you discuss what happened, and you can be as critical as you want to be.

I bid you all then a hearty good evening, but all of you will be working while you sleep. And I hope you all keep tabs so that you are aware of your dream activities. And I hope you realize what you have done this evening, and as Ruburt seems to you to be many people so are you, in your terms, many people. And he simply shows those portions of his reality that are also counterparts of your own reality that exists within you. If this personality is multidimensional then so are your own. (Very loudly.) And so I bid you all a fond good evening, and again, I let you know that the vitality that sings through this form sings also through your own.

I said, if you remember, that the bull’s problems to some extent were also his own, but I will have something to say to you about what occurred last week at a later date in class. In fact to both of you.

I bid you all now a fond good evening and I ask you to be adventurous, to be spontaneous, to follow the ways of your own consciousness. I cannot follow the ways of your own consciousness. Only you can travel that route, for there is no other consciousness like your own, and no one can understand the truths as you can understand them, and in understanding them you create new truths. Truths are not done and finished. They are new like the flowers that eternally grow.
