“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Here the personality was born only fifty miles away, in space, from the earlier existence; and as the wife of a wealthy landowner, often drove through the very land where the small house still stood, with its farm.

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.

Through the change of roles, Peg now gains insight on the past failures, and also helps her present husband, indeed, to become more contemplative, and to seek for answers to questions that he would not have asked otherwise. She is adding to his development, and working out very grievous flaws that existed in her own personality in the past.

The problem is a challenge set up by the entity for one of its personalities, but the outcome is left up to the individual. This was the major stumbling block, the last major one for this personality. Other lives had been fulfilling, but the personality had never set for itself (pause) any position in the past that was not one of strength.

The illness itself was secondary. One does not choose illness, per se, for a life situation. In order for the personality to see its own past activities clearly, it felt that it had to adopt a position of dependency this time.

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.

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.

There are also other considerations. This is a last reincarnation. The personality could choose, and attempt, a partial recovery. There is no predestination. Until the personality itself has definitely decided whether or not to end a life situation, no one else can know.

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.
