“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

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.

It should be mentioned that in such cases the inner self, as divorced from the more accessible subconscious, is aware of the situation, and finds release in very valid terms (pause), through frequent inner communications, whereby past successes are remembered, and to some extent reexperienced. The dream state becomes an extremely vivid time for these activities, and they are not imaginary.

These experiences, deeply subjective, reassure the whole personality of its complete nature. It knows it is more than the self that it has for a time chosen to be. At our next session we will go into these matters more completely, for there is an inner logic that may not be at first apparent.
