“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The father however had a particularly unpleasant life in 14th Century France, and (to Dave) if you will refuse what you had learned in the past, he could not force you to remember. But he could give you a nudge and a push, gently, and in this existence he did so.

You are in control, you are not moved by other forces. You do not always understand nor comprehend, but you have already set your goals and you have chosen your circumstances. You are all working out problems, and you set the problems for yourselves. No one else gives them to you. You know what they are.

Now, I have lived and died many times, and you must admit (Seth speaks strongly and humorously, forcefully, eyes open) that you can sense my vitality; and so I can tell you that the vitality of the boy exists in as vital terms. It would have been indeed almost a penance for him to have stayed here longer. You did not save his life one time, you helped him save his soul, and he gallantly returned the favor; for he at one time was tempted to use his abilities for power and to use the priesthood for gain, and on that occasion you stopped him. (Seth pointed to Dave.)
