“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This portion of an unnumbered ESP class session was transcribed from incomplete notes made by a member of Jane’s Thursday-night class, beginning at 10:15 PM on December 28, 1967.

(Usually we keep the records of her ESP class in a separate set of three-ring binders, but Jane wanted to insert this one as part of Session 393 in our “regular” sessions: She wanted to show Seth discussing a subject that was emotionally very important to a class member—Audrey Shepherd—whose adopted son had died by drowning last summer.)

[Seth:] In a previous life he was your son by blood. He died in that life in an accident. He came back to tell you there was no death—you would not listen, hear or believe. This time he came back and was a son to you. You knew him again under circumstances highly similar. This time you are listening. He came to tell you there was no death. You have been led here—you are to develop your abilities. This was his last reincarnation. He chose to stay here to tell you. You had too little faith in him. That you thought….

Had the boy continued, there would have been complications. Marriage and children for his own nature. Main purpose was with you for you had been Mother. Death was instantaneous. There was some recognition on your part. The boy knew this and understood it.

There was in past life connection with your brother. He was also connected with you and the boy. The brother in this life was the blood father as you were blood mother. Boy’s first love and purpose involved you.

In past he also died by water. Subconsciously you knew this. There was a girl in that past life. He also knew her in this life. There was an afternoon in this life between 4 and 5 years old, and this child visited with her parents. She also will die young or has already died but will not reach adulthood. At the time curly brown hair. She was his wife in the past life, when he died at 32. This involved a shipwreck. No, the manner of death is no coincidence, it is chosen. Some of the boy’s friends and acquaintances and neighbors died in this same manner. They were the crew in a ship that sank off coast of Spain. They were not frightened of water. They trusted water. If it led on occasion to death, it also led to adventure. Death by water in those days was an honor, death by land a disgrace. They considered water “Mother of All Earth”. He did. He would not want to die by land. He chose to leave when he did when you would miss him most and question most. For the question would lead you to find the answers. He played the harmonica as a sailor. Love of music at first—the result of long days at sea.
