“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. Knowledge exists as realizations, and realizations presuppose personalities.

Knowledge does not exist, ideally, in abstract terms. It is true it must be interpreted in many cases so that it may seem to you that it exists as some sort of isolated principle, ultimately. This is not the case.

Knowledge automatically changes the personality and the camouflage structure through which it flows. Knowledge, in other words, is action. There is of course such action taking place in these sessions.

Both you and Ruburt therefore had the possibility of such experience already prepared in your personality structures. It was this innate ability and knowledge, your fond (smile) Seth tells me, that prevented you from marrying until you met someone who would be able to help you along these lines.

There is nothing, neither knowledge nor beauty nor truth, that exists independently of consciousness or personality. My personality is such that it is not intimate or understandable to you, now, simply because it is a personality based upon different root assumptions than your own, and has its prime existence in dimensions that are composed of personality structures and gestalts based on alien psychological activities.

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.

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.
