“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(John Bradley was a witness to the session, and part of the material deals with John’s relationship with his employer, Searle. The first part of the session however takes off on various matters Jane, John and I were discussing before session time, and so is unplanned. Remember that Seth’s entity name for John is Philip.)

When you think in terms of mankind solving its own problems, remember that reincarnation is involved, and not a group of persons in existence for only a particular time. When the personality is thoroughly ready to leave the body, nothing, including transplants, will keep it within the body. And if personalities refuse to inhabit a new body, then no science will be able to give life to the newly formed but uninhabited body.

As a matter of fact there has been such a population problem in the past, in your terms, on several occasions and involving your planet. An earthwide epidemic took place on one occasion. On another occasion the number of conceptions was drastically reduced. The women’s fear of bearing children alone made them barren when starvation loomed. The third time artificial means were utilized to prevent birth.

The third time involved Atlantis. The first time I mentioned with the epidemiclike disaster, was 14 centuries after Atlantis. Give us a moment. (Pause.) A pre-Inca type civilization.

For many reasons at various periods in your time there has been particular work to be done requiring numbers, a broad stratum, a physical pool, that would serve as a basis for future generations. In many such instances there is a ferment of activity, a birth of new ideas, and an unstructured psychic activity, that is freewheeling and explosive.
