“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It was a development that could or could not have occurred. Had it not then many important future developments would have been blocked. The points where this voice was loudest and strong—these points often represented openings through which the development could occur. For various reasons however that method was not used.

Simply, as an analogy, and only (underlined) as an analogy, I am what you would refer to as a future Seth, as Seth in a quote “higher” stage of development. This is not to be taken literally however, since both of us are fully independent, and exist simultaneously. (Pause.)

This communication, while taking place in your time, and in your present, is nevertheless partially responsible in other dimensions for what you would call future developments in your own personalities, which you can now in turn contact. This is partially what I am, far more than you are, or that Seth is as you thought of him.

(Pause.) I have done my best to give you an understanding as a basis for our future sessions. Seth as you knew him will also be Seth as you know him; for whether or not I speak as myself or through him, as you think of him, he is still the intermediary and the connection between us, and he will help transmit energy; but more, he will also appear as himself as you have known him. There are necessary emotional elements that are uniquely his own. (Pause.) My personality structure is far different—very rewarding to me (smile, eyes open), but very unfamiliar to you. You will understand him better emotionally, and need, I believe, that strong connection.
