“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Those in your system are relatively impatient, have decided to work with large amounts of energy. Your physical system itself rapidly responds and mirrors the use of this energy. Results are seen quickly. Large groupings and regroupings occur within the mass psyche, huge waves of energy as the race makes important decisions. All of this is done on an unconscious basis, but as a teaching method the results must be seen physically.

Because you respond as physical creatures you respond best of all to tangible physical results. You do not know how far you can go in any given waves of activity until you see it objectified, or nearly so. If you knew how to handle energy effectively, if you fully realized that your thoughts were the motivating factor, were the realities, then you would not need a physical existence, for that is the reason for the physical environment.

Not one portion of consciousness is lost in this process, you understand. When you think of a possible destruction of your planet, you imagine perhaps the mutilation of nature as you know it, the species changed. Or you imagine the race of man vanishing, or starting all over again as it were from scratch.

Each epoch that ever existed within your planet in one way you see still does exist, and any consciousness that was involved with it still exists. Each consciousness retains memory of all its experiences, of each gestalt of which it has been part, and of the errors and of the successes in which it has been involved.

In one way all of this happens in the blinking of an eyelid. But in terms of value fulfillment you see, you explore it thoroughly. As you know, there is no destruction, and yet in other terms you must believe for a while that there is, if you are going to work for the good of yourselves and others, as you must.

There are purposes beyond those that I can tell you. Their meanings unfold as your own development does. Within consciousness all things are incipient, and all creations are lovingly nurtured. You cannot step out of existence or reality even if you try.
