“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This session was held for John Pitre and his wife Peg of Franklin, LA, following John’s telephone call to Jane earlier this evening. The call ended at approximately 8 PM. See also the 364th, 366th sessions, etc.

(John reported that his wife was very ill, had been in the hospital recently for several weeks, etc., and had not entered into a very deep trance state during sessions with a hypnotherapist; Seth had recommended Peg see such a professional. This evening John asked Jane if Seth could say something about why Peg had followed, or chosen, such a role in this physical life—a role seemingly without reward or hope; she has multiple sclerosis.

In this existence however the personality of its own free will chose to understand in a different context, and work out problems faced so poorly in the earlier life. This time the personality is John’s wife, being cared for, you see, rather than caring for; being physically dependent. The personality could not and would not, out of fear, try to understand the circumstances and position of the crippled daughter. Not for a moment could he then bear to contemplate the inner reality in personal terms.

This time he plays that part and is completely immersed in it. There are connections. (Long pause.) John was the man with whom the daughter left. (Pause.) Now. (Pause.) John’s wife loves him, and has been made subconsciously to see the good points in his personality. In the past he hated the man who took away the daughter.

There were many reasons why John and his wife met and began their relationship. While such situations as Peggy’s illness are chosen by the entity, the individual is always left to work out its own solution. Complete recovery, illness or early death, for example, are not preordained on the part of the entity. The general situation is set up in response to deep inner involvements.

John remembers subconsciously the old situation. This is partially the cause of some of the negative feelings, but there is no guilt in any (underlined) of this. No one save the individual entity knows in what directions weaknesses lie that need correction, and it sets about forming life dramas in which these can be faced.

The entity preferred this rather than a series of smaller difficulties. In this John acquiesced, to learn patience and forbearing, to take what he considered his medicine in one dose, so to speak.

Such a situation allows John’s present wife to telescope the experience needed into one life-situation, to delve deeply, and face at once problems that could otherwise take several existences.

Only a bold personality, and a courageous one, would attempt this. Spiritually, both personalities will benefit. This is the last reincarnation for John’s wife because of this decision. The personality will then have experience in other than earthly existences.

If the overall entity feels that the problem has been sufficiently solved, then it will end this life situation. But there is also a connection here with John, and the wife’s personality will not leave until John has also sufficiently achieved all benefits from the relationship that his entity hoped for.

When the decision is made, even subconsciously, then we can know. The answer now is uncertain, for no definite decision has been made. There are other personal problems on John’s part, which he must work out in any case. He knows what these are.
