“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I had two questions for our portion of the session, and we expected that Seth’s answers would be included in the Appendix of his book. The first question: According to Seth, he, Jane and I lived in Denmark in the 1600’s. I simply wanted clarification of the data on my lifespan, as given in the notes at the end of the 541st session, in Chapter Eleven.

The reincarnational structure is built along the same lines of existence that you know now. Some individuals are more intrigued by detail than others: A particular “previous personality” may be one who had a great love of detail, in which case you would discover the richness of it. The particular likes and dislikes of any given personality will also have much to do with the descriptions given of a particular reincarnational episode.

It will do no good to ask deep questions concerning the history of the times of some personality who was impoverished, ignorant, and limited. He simply would not know the answers. The picture of any given life, therefore, usually comes through the experience of the personality who lived it.

Because time is open-ended, as you think of it, you can also affect what you would think of as past reincarnational selves, and at times react in and to their environment. You would usually do this in the dream state, but this is often accomplished just below the level of waking consciousness, and is blotted out by you as you go about your daily business.

(11:07.) Strong emotional associations can often trigger such responses. (Pause.) Reincarnation, as it is usually explained, in terms of one life before another, is a myth; but a myth enabling many to partially understand facts that they would otherwise dismiss — insisting as they do upon the concept of a continuity of time.

(And although I was getting weary, it was apparent that Seth could easily shift into a state where his energy would seem inexhaustible.)

Now: When the Appendix is done and your work with this book is finished, I will give you as many sessions as you would like, within reason, for yourself. And use the recorder.
