“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(John Bradley told us that when Seth mentioned his becoming aware of more inner communications in the future, he felt a twinge of fear. John said one of his favorite expressions has been that he had never wanted to be able to read tomorrow’s paper today. I answered that perhaps John was beginning to change his mind at least subconsciously.

I will suggest a short break and we shall continue. How can you want to know the future so badly, and be so afraid of knowing it at the same time?

This is not the case, for your own expectations are the actions which mold what you call the future, and it is never static and never definite; for you can change it at any moment, as any action changes any other action. You are always free to act, but every action changes that which is acted upon, and you constantly change your so-called future; and the events that I see may indeed be changed at any time.

Now, when you speak of free will you automatically think in terms of your own time sequence, for you are caught within it. Those who are not within it can see past, present and future, and the interchange of action.

But you have on a subconscious level all the knowledge and experience of your previous selves upon which to build. Your dreams are free from the restrictions imposed by your ego, and your dreams affect your daily life much more than you know. For situations appear in them that affect your actions, and these are elements from your own previous selves. This is a large subject; but though I can tell you some things about your future, the future is not predestined, and subconsciously you are well aware yourself of what will happen, and all human beings are.

Again, you see, you did not have to hear me, and you did not have to listen. But because you heard me and because you listened, the probable future was changed.

Now, Philip. Indeed when I speak of the future I do see possibilities, and speak in terms of trends of activities that may change. This is why, often, our specific dates do not materialize as given, or why events foreseen do not occur as given. For at no time are any events predestined. There should be no such word in your vocabulary, for with every moment you change, and every heartbeat is an action, and every action changes every other action.
