“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There were three men whose lives became confused in history, and merged, and whose composite history became known as the life of Christ, for example. Each of these were highly gifted psychically, knew of their role, and accepted it willingly.

It made no difference to your history. The three men were part of one entity, gaining physical existence in one time. They were not born at the same date however. There are reasons why the entity did not return as one person. For one thing the full consciousness of an entity would be too strong for one physical vehicle. For another the entity wanted a more diversified environment than could otherwise be provided. The entity was born once as John the Baptist, and then he was born in two other forms. One of these is a personality that most stories of Christ refer to.

I will tell you about the other personality at another time. There was constant conscious communication between these three portions of the one entity, though they were born and buried at different dates. Yet the race called up these personalities, so to speak, from its own psychic bank, from the pool of individualized consciousness that was available to it.
