“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There are endless coordinates, like infinities of prisms, fitting within, into, transposed upon, and permeating your own physical system, but your outer senses do not perceive them.

These coordinates are simply points where other fields of reality come into contact. Each exists to some extent where the other is, and yet the camouflage structures make it necessary for those within any given system to recognize the certain characteristics, only, of the one in which focus is to be maintained.

At physical death, in your terms, the personality structure is able to approach certain coordinates, to perceive them, and to change focus from one system to another. When this occurs the primary physical construction, the camouflage material, loses its power. The individual would seem to disappear with no trace remaining.

This phenomena is not meant to explain legitimate instances in which the personality and consciousness itself returns for purposes of communication. This image trace is a lingering manifestation, an imprint within your system, a part of its reality, and is held within it as you might for example retain an idea in your mind long after the idea has been expressed physically. As a painting that is destroyed physically may still be retained in your mind, so in the reality of the physical system a trace remains, an image trace of the camouflage structure that enclosed a given personality.

There is a corresponding image, held always within the inner consciousness of those who pass out of your system. (Long pause. One of several here.) This is indelible, but not always immediately available for reference. It forms a part of the whole inner self. We would prefer that you not think of any given entire entity in terms of a physical structure, though we have ourselves used the term structure to make explanations simpler, and will probably do so again.

The concept, structure, can be used by you in many ways—as a vehicle to carry many differing ideas. A personality communicating with your system, who was once a part of it, can make use of this trace image. The trace image is not his consciousness however. His consciousness is aware of the trace image, and on occasion can utilize it.

This is simplified. Consciously you deal with those problems of one given physical life. Consciously you are not aware of what you call reincarnations, though these occur within your own system. Now these are not separate existences at all. They only appear so to you. Your earth identity (smile) in singular terms, is one existence. When you sleep at night and awaken, you do not suppose yourself a new personality, or imagine that you have died during the night. This is what you do when you imagine that you have several existences as different people.

Your real existence, even within your system, is too much for you to deal with in conscious terms, therefore the seeming segments. You know you live these seemingly different lives simultaneously, as you gain development, but it is always you gaining development in a variety of roles. I stress therefore that unity. It is only because consciously you do not realize the unity that the various reincarnations seem so diverse and separate.

Your consciousness expands and develops according to its own abilities. Previous lives are handled in conscious terms when you are in existence between physical lives. When you are completed in those terms you may operate within a two-reality field psychological pattern, in which you are consciously aware of existing in two systems at once, and able to manipulate with full awareness within each.

There is enough in this session to give you some evocative insights, but the material will be explained in much more detail. A message I am relaying to Ruburt: the answer is to concentrate upon freedom. Freedom in emotional states keeps the system clear. Only impeding actions block it up. He feared to use emotional freedom.
