“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.

The energy in that case would have been diverted from the voice, in which the energy had already been built up, you see. The remarks made before our session by Ruburt were correct or nearly so.

As words would tell little, or give small hint of the reality of sound or color to someone who did not experience these, so the words used can only give insight into the nature of reality. I hope through the addition of various subjective experiences in the sessions to give you the feel of concepts when this is possible.

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.

(Voice still gentle and lilting.) I look back on you as the selves from which I sprang, and yet I am more than the sum of what you will be when you are finished with the other dimensions and times that I have known. For I have sprung entirely away from you, and would be alien in your terms. That you can even contact me (pause), is a most remarkable development. Yet had you not been able to contact me I would not be what I am.
