“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Until this life the communications involved have been in outward manifestation. This time there is on the part of the personality an awareness of inner realities, of which the personality was not before concerned with. There is also a bewilderment, since in the past communication was easy. Now there is awareness of that which is not easy to communicate.

There is now an earnest desire to travel inward, but in the past the personality was involved with outward communication. The personality will always have communication as a main aspect. Nevertheless this life begins a new phase, where the communication involved will be, indeed, of a different variety. The knot of energy, among other things, quite a few other things, is caused by the temporary inability to change the focus of interests from outward to inward methods of communication.

In the past lives, again, desire for communication was strong. It is strong now. However, it is as if the personality stands before another door, where the abilities for communication can turn the knob, but he will not turn the knob. The personality stands in an anteroom, with all his knotted energies, in indecision, and will not open the door leading inward, and will not turn in the other direction, in the direction from which he has come, to the door that leads outward. It is the indecision here that is important.

(Lorraine thought the last sentence of the monologue was significant to her. She confirmed that she has been interested in communication and related work. One of her past jobs involved writing copy for a radio station.

This is a rather tricky point, but an important one. The other possible solutions, however, still exist as reality within the dream field, and as such they continue unfolding. Your past material on dreams will help you on this.

There was no personal connection between the three of you in past lives.

(Jane now took a very long pause. It will be remembered that Philip is the entity name for John Bradley, who first mentioned the sessions to Lorraine. Lorraine told us later that she was not consciously aware of the existence of the sessions before John told her about them. She also said the number fifteen had no particular significance for her as far as she was aware. Seth mentions a period of fifteen years, however, in connection with past lives for her. See page 319.)

Memory is there, within the inner self. Lessons learned in the past are drawn upon. You would indeed be laden with relatives if you were aware of such past relationships.

There is still much to be said here. Nor was I flattered at Ruburt’s surprise upon his discovery that what I told you in the past, concerning your friends, was coming to pass. He should have expected it. He is if anything more bullheaded than even I gave him credit for, and I gave him credit for a good deal of bullheadedness.
