“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(10:06.) Give us a moment.... You are dealing with your father, for example, from one probability only—the one in which you knew him. As I told you once before, his “main life” was not here, in your terms. (See Volume 1 of “Unknown” Reality.) In the realities in which you saw him in the dream state, he was a wanderer—lonely, from your viewpoint, not his. The dreams represented your symbolic understanding that he was “a loner” in the probability in which you knew him—and in that guise you saw your father.

You did not see his reality as a personality apart from the fact of his being your father. You did make contact, however. He could not break through your own symbols. Some of the dreams did involve other probabilities, however, in which members of your family died at different times than in your world, as with the dream involving Loren (my younger brother).

The past not only still exists, vital and alive, but it constantly gives forth multitudinous futures, as does your present. Yet each self is couched in an infinite cocoon of being from which it cannot fall, but ever emerge in changing form. If you want a better knowledge of your father’s existence, then try to think of him as a being who happened to be your father, and that will free your concepts of him.
