“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

First of all, though you did not ask, I am not the subconscious of our friend Ruburt, or as you call him, Jane.

There are automatic adjustments that are made, and nervous pathways that have been opened, pathways that become more useful as they are used. For habit enters in here, as in all endeavors.

The purpose is the expansion of consciousness itself, and this automatically leads to the knowledge that every consciousness is connected to every other, and that any harm to one is harm to all. Time simply does not exist as a series of moments. This is three-dimensional illusion. Therefore in actuality no one life is lived before nor after another.

The consciousness therefore would never be destroyed in reality. The most minute blossom within it would experience only an almost instantaneous change of form, and all of this would transpire in the breath of an instant. The individual petals would merely change, as the personalities of men change in what seems like a series of before and after reincarnations.

And no memory, you see, would ever be lost, and nor is any memory lost. The personality that you have now is simply the flower of the moment, not realizing that it has the knowledge of its own past histories; and all of this would be but one cosmic flower. Energy constantly renews itself. The various flowers could then be compared to the various dimensions through which action and consciousness know their own reality. The expansion of consciousness automatically leads you to understanding and compassion.

You want the answers to the wrong questions. You want me to deprive you of experience that you need, and in the reality in which you now exist, and in which you are learning very well to manipulate. You shall not get in the habit of having me tell you what will happen. I say this in all good humor and with due affection. (Pause, smile.) Do you understand?

We will therefore bid you all a fond good evening. My heartiest regards, and we shall now end our session.
