“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Give us a moment.... My new book is progressing at its proper pace, following certain contours of Ruburt’s consciousness also, as his psyche “expands.” I do not like an overreliance on terms. Many of the ones that I have used are simply guidelines because people insist upon definitions. My new book will break beyond the concept of counterparts—as that concept broke beyond the concept of reincarnation.

The terms are handy to describe certain affiliations and experiences of the psyche. In greater terms, however, those experiences and affiliations overlap. There are, unfortunately for neat definitions, no definite, absolute, complete boundaries. There are leaping, explosive, volatile, rapidly altering relationships in which psyche touches psyche, forms an attraction or mutual response that can be both eternal and fleeting, never destroyed or forgotten, there as a trace or as an overwhelming experience.

There are psychic affiliations that defy language. The term “reincarnation” hints at some. “Counterparts” hint of others. “Probable selves” evoke still other such experiences. In greater terms the psyche is always in a state of creative change. Counterparts can alter affiliations—a fact I did not mention earlier, simply because then it would have added a confusion.

To one extent or another you can “pick up on” any personality living or dead, historically or in the future—but in any future, because in far more complicated ways each psyche contains within it the experience and knowledge of others. “You” change your viewpoint in the universe, and “you” are someone else. Yet you are still yourself....
