“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I will give you theoretical material, and I hope that we shall implement it with our own demonstrations. The coming sessions will of necessity involve us thoroughly in the nature of human personality in its psychic electromagnetic properties. Reincarnation will, of course, enter in here, for you cannot separate it. I am more solidly here in our sessions now (smile, eyes open) than I was permitted to be in the past. It goes without saying that there is no other place in those terms, into which those who have survived physical death disappear.

Upon physical death you simply step out of the intense focus upon one self-constructed plane. You are released into a wider spectrum of activity. The mental and psychic energy which you have expended in the physical system does continue, to some varying degree, to sustain it. A lingering feeling allows those who have left your system to keep in contact with it if they so desire. I do not mean necessarily that in all cases communication will occur, but a psychic return can be made at will.

An individual who has survived physical death can if he wishes recreate any portion of his own past as it was. He can recreate any portion of his own past in any way he wishes, changing his own actions within it if he so chooses, combining and reforming the entire composition. Such a procedure is usually a dead-end enterprise. The others involved are vivid hallucinations, and he may not realize this.

Those who struggled and did not achieve fame for example, will sometimes recreate their past, manipulate hallucinatory relationships and events and achieve it within that counterfeit environment. This is simply an example. Some may attempt to gain revenge in this way, finding satisfaction in gaining control over another, finally, but the victim in such a case is only the hallucinated image of the victor.

Believing in a physical hell can cause quite unnecessary psychological torment, with hallucinatory images. Believing in the stereotyped idea of heaven can cause no harm, but a delay in facing up to new responsibilities. Those who have known you and with whom you have had true rapport, will help you.

More rapport may have existed between you and some forgotten friend, you see, than between you and those bound to you through various other relationships in earthly existence. There may be some who have known you in past lives, to assist you.
