“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Each self, as a part of All That Is, therefore also retains memory of that state. It is for this reason that each portion of All That Is, each most minute consciousness, is endowed with the impetus toward survival, change, development and creativity. It is not enough that All That Is, as a primary consciousness-gestalt, desires further being, but, that every portion of it also carry this determination.

Not being, in other terms, is impossible. It is being without the means of expressing being. Now, every portion of consciousness is imbued with innate knowledge towards the means of expression and creativity. If, and this is impossible, all portions but the most minute last unit of All That Is were destroyed, All That Is could still continue, for within the smallest portion is the innate knowledge of the whole.

When I speak of All That Is, you must understand my position within it. All That Is knows no other. This does not mean that there may not be more to know. It does not mean, and here words quite fail us, it does not mean that All That Is, in any terms that we can conceive of, may not be limited. [...]

This first state of agonized search for expression may have represented the birth throes of All That Is as we know it. [...] Pretend then that you possessed within yourself the knowledge, the sight, of all the world’s masterpieces in sculpture and art, that they throbbed and pulsed as realities within you, but that you had no physical apparatus, no knowledge of how to achieve it; that there was neither rock, nor pigment, nor source of any of these, and you ached with the yearning to produce them—and this, on an infinitesimally small scale, will perhaps give you, as an artist, some idea of the agony and the impetus that was felt.

And each self is endowed with the agony and the impetus, for it is a fabric from which All That Is made itself, and all that you know. Perhaps now you can understand why it is so difficult to try to explain matters to you in terms that you can understand.

All That Is loves all that it has created, down to the least, for it realizes the dearness, and the uniqueness of each consciousness which had been wrest (spelled) from such a state and at such a price; and it is triumphant and joyful at each new development taken by each consciousness, for this is an added triumph against that first state, and an added security against that first state, and it revels and (takes) joy in the slightest creative act of each of its issue.

This is the lesson that All That Is had to learn, and that could not be taught. This is the agony from which creativity originally was drawn, and its reflection is still seen.

We do know that within this system, this overall system now, of our All That Is, that creation continues and developments are never still. Therefore we can deduce that on still other levels of which we are unaware, the same is true.

All That Is protects itself therefore, and all that it has, and is, and will create.

These connections between you therefore and All That Is can never be severed, and its awareness is indeed so delicate and focused that its attention is (underlined)directed with a prime creator’s love to each consciousness.
