“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You can ask your (smile) fond Seth questions concerning that episode. In that case your own personality structure was altered by the information that flowed through you, and it became a part of your earth life heritage. It was yours when you began this present lifetime.

I am not giving you some kind of disembodied knowledge, however. Knowledge itself (pause, smile) is conscious. It is not a dead thing transmitted, since it has no meaning without personality and realization, and since it changes the personalities through whom it seems to flow. In changing them it of necessity is part of the awareness of the very cells it alters.

The consciousnesses is composed of the individual consciousnesses that make up the material that is within the painting, and yet there is also a gestalt consciousness that is the result of the artist’s overall conception. Anything that an observer learns from looking at the painting is always living knowledge, that alters his own makeup.

I have several remarks for you. (Eyes open.) The woman’s death was foremost as far as probabilities were concerned, and yet at many points at the time of our session she could have altered those probabilities.

Had she taken the session to heart, the probabilities would have been altered. (Pause.) There were past-life circumstances operating. However, the woman chose the time of her death, with the subconscious knowledge of the whole family.
