“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now give us time. (Pause at 10:11.) There were also men called “Little Popes,” those in training of an ambitious nature, and catered to. If they were seriously in the running, you see, the rewards would be great to their followers. These men, incidentally, were no worse, particularly, in their actions than the rest of the populace. Their positions simply gave them greater leeway.

The dates 325 and 375 come to mind in connection with my own life at that time. Again, the names and dates have little meaning to me now. In that life I learned to understand the interplay between men and their ambitions, the gulf that often exists between ideals and practical action.

Now we are finished with those notes and you may take a break.

Now. We will resume dictation.

Since all lives are simultaneous, all happening at once, then any separation is a psychological one. I exist as I am while my reincarnational lives — in your terms — still exist. Yet now I am not concerned with them, but turn my concentration into other areas of activity.

(10:41.) Personality changes whether it is within a body or outside of it, so you will change after death as you change before it. In those terms, it is ridiculous to insist upon remaining as you are now, after death. It is the same as a child saying: “I am going to grow up, but I am never going to change the ideas that I have now.” The multidimensional qualities of the psyche allow it to experience an endless realm of dimensions. Experience in one dimension in no way negates existence in another.
