“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In the experience of personalities outside of your system, events are not recalled nor held in such a manner. A personality outside of your system does not therefore recall events from so-called previous lives in any serial form. The events are held simultaneously.

It follows then that I am aware of the other Seth personality, and he of me. Because of your time misconceptions you make serious errors whenever you attempt any predictions into life after death, or life within other systems than your own. It is most difficult for you to conceive of an ego who experiences events not in serial form. When any contact is attempted in so-called mediumistic situations, then it is expected that the survival personality will “remember,” in quotes, events as you do; but events no longer exist in that way.

You must understand that in any way your situation, and any that you know of physical reality, is highly artificial. It is the mass creation formed by your inner ideas. The time concept is but one example, and it is responsible for many of your most cherished misconceptions. You must form ideas into physical materialization in order to recognize the force behind the ideas you are learning to use and understand. However such materializations are only necessary at certain levels. The time scheme appears valid only within that framework.

For our friend here (Jane pointed to Emolene), an existence in the land called Greece before it had that name. An existence in 14th-century Belgium. (Pause.) A life in a Spanish environment, with Spanish speaking people but in South America. This in the 1200’s. The personality has often been in a position to work with building, and in their construction, and was instrumental in working out the principles behind the arc (Jane gestured), arch, form.

Then there was a love of detail and planning, and the ability to form in the mind complicated building plans for others to carry out. The personality was often involved then in the flowering period of civilization, when such building was usually carried on. The artistic ability is connected with the detailed drawings done in the past.

And yet such definitions are far more near the truth than those that have to do with measurements. There are no measurements of any kind. Reality, of itself, forms an apple. Your perception of the apple enables you to see it piecemeal.
