“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(1. About reincarnations Why do people say they remember past lives, but very seldom refer to future lives? If Seth’s ideas on the subject are correct, people should remember both past and future lives.

In the past, improvements did not “take” for a long-enough period to produce desired results, because of your own lacks of confidence—Ruburt in particular and you secondarily. If you do trust the body and its wisdom, then you trust it. I will try to clear up such issues as they arise. For now you must take it for granted that such conditions will exist.

A past death does not bother them, but the contemplation of a future reincarnation implies the death within this present life, and is largely avoided.

There is something else, in that in certain terms the way must be open, because people believe in a continuous time, and would feel the weight of future actions bearing down upon them in this life if they were aware of their future existences. They feel that other lives are past.

However, it is the belief that reincarnations are past that largely closes the door. Those futures in your terms so affect the present, however, that vast confusion would result with any mass knowledge. Yet many inventions occur in a strange fashion, as men do at times travel into their own futures and bring back the memory of, say, gadgets existing there, which then in this life they “invent.”
