“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Your own instinct for survival, so-called, is the result, so to speak, of experience in other systems. The original problem was far different. A way was needed to teach these personalities to focus long enough, in your terms, intensely enough, within any given reality.

When the lessons are learned there is no need for physical reality. The survival instinct, strongly connected with the physical self, keeps it anchored in focus within your system. Without it consciousness would tend to float free. It is your anchor.

Now. (Pause.) You are intensely focused within physical reality.

As you know, other portions of the self are intensely focused elsewhere. Before physical birth, you have already made the decision to choose this probable reality, and to probe its potentials. The entity is therefore learning to realign its methods of perception.

It is aware of you both as psychic entities, and retains strong and unclouded perceptions of your past relationship. These connections must pass from its memory as it matures. The memories can be retained, but the primary focus of activity and the intensity must deal with this personality, and with this existence as you think of it.
