“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] There is no such simple end to the life that you know, [such] as the story of heaven. There is the freedom to understand your own reality, to develop your abilities further, and to feel more deeply the nature of your own existence as a part of All That Is.

First of all you must understand, again, that now you do not realize your true identity. You identify instead with your present ego, so when you think in terms of life after death you really mean a future life of the ego that you know. At the end of the reincarnational cycle you understand quite thoroughly that you, the basic identity, the inner core of your being, is more than the sum of your reincarnational personalities.

The developments of consciousness that take place are natural attributes, natural stages. There is no coercion applied. All of the further developments are inherent in the personality that you know, even as the adult is inherent in the child.

Art is created, then, using time — for example — as a structure. [...] The beauties of various ages, the natural beauties, the paintings and buildings are all recreated as learning methods for these beginners. One of their main preoccupations is to create beauty that impinges itself in as many various dimensions of reality as possible.

[...] A portion of you was earlier projected to the hospital where your father is. Ruburt felt the absence of that part of you. [...] In the very back of your mind you wondered if he knew, now, that he ever had hay fever, and it was that that triggered the unconscious projection.

You might say that the personalities then are but divisions of your self here. There is no competition between them. [...] These reincarnational personalities continue to develop, but they also understand that their main identity is also yours.

Such an art is impossible to describe in words. [...] These creators, however, are also involved in inspiring those in all levels of reality available to them. For example, inspiration in your system is often the work of such creators.

(This is the season for hay fever. [...] Seth told me some time ago that my father had given me his hay fever, and that for reasons of my own I had accepted the “gift.”

When the cycle is finished, therefore, you have complete knowledge of your past lives. [...] This merely means that you understand your multidimensional reality in practical terms. [...]

[...] The amount of knowledge and training necessary makes such a teaching communicator-career extremely demanding, but it is one of the courses available. [...] A delicate manipulation of energy is required, and a constant travel through dimensions. Once such a choice is made, training immediately begins, always under the leadership of a practical expert. The vocation, for it is a vocation, leads such a teacher even into other realms of reality than those he previously knew existed.
