“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There are certain answers that cannot be given verbally, but must be intuitively understood. Yet the fact that I exist and can communicate should show you, in simple terms, that other “higher aspects” of your personality can help you out on occasion.

Back here, we have a question from the gallery. (Smiling.) You must realize that you do not form events alone. You are involved in a cooperative venture. Usually then you alone are not responsible for an event, because others participate in its creation — for their own reasons. The question cannot be answered simply in one evening, but each consciousness has its own defense system and its own vitality; you should trust your own.

You cooperate together to form the physical reality that you know, telepathically, through ways and means that are unknown to you. You weave webs of psychic reality that then coalesce into physical reality. You do not necessarily weave them alone, but together. Your thoughts intertwine with those of others. You are responsible for your own thoughts. You need to learn the power of thought and emotion, but this should fill you with the joy of creativity. Once you realize that your thoughts form reality, then you are no longer a slave to events. You simply have to learn the methods.

There are, and the whole self is aware of all of these realities. With no unkindness meant, you all know yourselves and your weaknesses and failures, so why should you suppose that the self you know is the only self that you are? Surely, it has occurred to you that you have abilities you are not using, that other realities connected with your innermost existence aren’t being expressed in the existence you know of.

Yes, indeed. And some evening I will tell you that you should change your conception of the word “lives.” This is the first hint I have given, either in our private sessions or in class, of some rather important material. But think of what you mean when you use the word lives, and see how limited the term is.
