“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The focus of attention cannot be as strong as it was in physical life, hence the inability to deal with energy in those terms. The personality insists on behaving as if it were in the physical condition however, and out of habit attempts to construct a physical form. He is not imprisoned within this pseudoimage, since he forms it, but the energy used is misdirected and largely futile.

He does not as yet consciously know the extent of his changed attitude. His body knows. You and Ruburt both know subconsciously, and you have begun to sense the implications on a conscious level, but barely. All of this directly affects your own personal and joint—I will have to use the term for you —future, experience; both in this life and later.

This change will also attract more energy (pause), bring it forth from you Joseph (pointing at me).. And for you. Give us a moment with this. (Pause.) You will use more energy in helping to sustain Ruburt, but you will because of his new affirmation have more available. Enough in fact to show itself considerably in new impetus in your own work.

Basically speaking of course the matter of the cell does not exist. You were correct in the assumption that upon death the personality sends out signals; but the personality constantly sends out signals, in any condition of existence.

I will comment here for all of this fits into our discussion. Existence is not a game in the terms spoken of by our Mr. Watts, though he is often on the right track. We do not have a static god, recreating himself as he is in various guises. Using those terms, we have a god constantly in the process of creation, action acting upon itself, always with new possibilities, each existence bringing forth new varieties. (Pause.) Legitimately, each personality is a co-creator, and part of All That Is, but this All That Is constantly develops, and develops in terms of growth fulfillment.

There is a turning inward upon itself, but the inwardness is not a static condition. It is difficult to put this into language. (Pause.)

Evil, so termed, is a lack of knowledge, a lack of fulfillment, a lack of growth, measured against that which has felt inward enough to understand more of its nature. Evil is therefore less desirable. The whole process however is toward understanding in which the evil is doubled and erased, but the growth must come from something that is not yet grown, and you cannot call a seed evil because it is not yet the flower.

Disease is not evil, for example. The murderer kills no one, yet if his intent is to do so then he must face the consequences of his intent. Crime after death is not punished. There is no crime to be punished, but between those last two statements lies a world of understanding, and knowledge that must be attained. And punishment enters in between those two statements as the individual takes the consequence for the action and the intent.

Your point earlier is a good one. You have experience in concentration in regard to your paintings, but Ruburt has not been used to concentrating in that manner. The practice in bringing images into clear focus will help him do the same with inner information of a specific nature. Have you any questions?
