“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There is another reason. I do not want these sessions to get the reputation of giving demonstrations, for reasons that are rather complicated. The way in which I have given you the material results in a steady progression, and this is important. At later times my attitude may change. However, because of the attitude in the scientific world at large, these sessions should have a more sober climate, in that I do not want either of you to be thought of, in Ruburt’s words, as a pair of nuts.

Your arbitrary decision that consciousness ends with the change of physical properties at the arbitrary point you call death, does not preclude the fact that consciousness does not end here. There is a metamorphosis that occurs with the change of the fetus from a fetus into a full-blown, miniature human being at birth. This change is not much looked into, because it occurs beyond the reach of your outer senses. Nevertheless this metamorphosis involves, in appearance, such a change as to seem impossible.

At the other end, so to speak, there is also a change which you do not perceive, and you do not perceive it because as the consciousness constructs the fetus from the inner plane, so then the consciousness is now beginning to enter another plane, where it is equally beyond your perception.
