“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The particular problems were set by the inner self as challenges and learning guides. The personality solves the problems, not necessarily in the simplest way, objectively speaking, but in the way that will best benefit the personality as a whole.

The quality of the challenges is often an indication of the heights that are possible. In the early background of each individual, in each life, you will find the material for development. The development to be based upon problems overcome and challenges accepted and conquered.

The next one will be to use the abilities that he will then be free to use, correctly. Without the past challenge, or one like it, the various elements of the personality would not be sufficiently united, strong enough, to carry the abilities that have been latent within it.

You could have chosen not to develop these latent abilities at all. You could have developed other latent abilities in their stead. You settled upon your particular life situation with certain problems and challenges in mind. In helping Ruburt free and use his own strong spontaneous nature, you also free your own spontaneous self. That particular problem then is also a challenge and a way of development for you both.
