“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The study of dreams has been held back immeasurably because past-life memories have been stubbornly ignored. Reincarnational material usually discusses various existences as occurring one before the other. I emphasize strongly once more that the concept of continuity in terms of time is highly erroneous.

In the spacious present there are no such terms. Other selves, reincarnated within the physical system as physical creatures, experienced time as you do, as a series of moments strung out one before the other. Memories in dreams and in the trance state are usually already censored. As physical creatures alone you cannot remember the future. Therefore only past lives are ever recalled. In the dream state however what would appear to you as future lives are already familiar. To the inner senses all of these existences are simultaneous.

I told you at one time that birth was a greater shock than death. Some personalities react strongly against the enforced dependency. Others embrace it gladly.

(We acquired the dishes through trading at a certain supermarket and obtaining so many pieces weekly, through coupons. It took some time. Jane is quite sure we traded there at least three months.

(This connection is not as remote as it might seem: Jane spent some time in Baltimore before we were married 12 years ago. Even so that location has strong personal associations for her today. Both of us have been to Los Angeles, CA, several times, but Jane has not been to San Francisco.
