“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Before this life both of you decided upon the search for knowledge. Knowledge, of course, is not some thing that you find or discover. You must become knowledge. It is never apart from you. It is a process of self-discovery. You chose your environments, your interests, your families, friends, and associates forming bit by bit the details that would become the pictures of your lives.

You both believed in relating personally to the universe. You wanted some relative seclusion. The search for knowledge would mean often that you would be between beliefs, operating as you had been taught through training, and trying to operate according to the new knowledge. You know this, of course. The search for knowledge on your parts was personal. You would share what you learned with the world —but he who seeks knowledge must first of all be himself or herself, for most members of the world cannot follow such a course.

Ruburt found our last session extremely depressing, as he saw how the two of you conspired to bring about his physical condition. Though the primary “responsibility” is his, of course, yet each of you in the same fashion “conspired” to explore art, psychic realities, and the search for knowledge together. Each of you conspired to learn far more than might have seemed possible from your backgrounds, to sort through systems of beliefs. Each of you conspired to share your knowledge with the world, so that other lives were also enriched.
