“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In answer to one of your questions. The name Alice. A last name like Prince, with an S initial, or like Prentice. One who tries, an apprentice. 1963, Florida, a lung difficulty. Two children, one with a name like Gina (spelled); a relative in Schenectady, New York. Ill in 1963. Died in 1965.

(None of the above data, outside of the familiarity with the name Alice, meant anything to me. I graduated from high school in Sayre in June 1937, 32 years ago, and have seldom seen any classmates. The class was also a rather large one.

There is one difference of course. The star does not know upon whom its light falls. It is blind to the landscape that it brightens. It cannot see that which it illuminates. In the case of these psychological structures however, because of the multidimensional aspects, there is understanding and purpose. A portion of that kind of personality structure knows well that while its main focus of consciousness has gone into other dimensions, it will nevertheless be perceived by others at any given point.

Now because the spacious present exists, in other terms, these selves are actually in all places at one time. As you seem to approach different dimensions however, then you seem to approach a personality who exists at the time of your perception of him.

They come to understand then their basic oneness, while still retaining their own identity, since change is never still. In quotes: “By the time” this realization comes, inner value fulfillment has already created new realities. The answer, as closely as I can approximate it for you, is this: the purpose is being. This is something different than your idea (underlined) of brute survival.

One aside here: while I am myself as you know me, I am also the other personality that sometimes speaks. This does not mean that what I am as you know me, ends, or is finished, in what he is.

Both of us are obviously then portions of a larger self, and manifestations of it, but one does not end in the other, and one’s purpose is not to become the other. We all, quite simply, are. Keep this sort of thing in mind when you think in terms of purposes. For the word can distract you, and lead you into narrowing concepts.

(Seth repeated the name, which surprised me again. I believe this is one of the very few times when my question seemed to catch him unprepared, or off guard, or what have you.)
