“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(10:25.) Give us a moment.... I am going carefully, because much of this could be misunderstood. In a way, modern medicine has brought about many of the complications that now assail it. When women had too many children in the past, many did not live to adulthood. In the larger scheme of reality, this provided a framework for individuals to taste infancy or childhood without growing to maturity. It seems like the most heartless lack of compassion to say that such a situation was the most natural, and in the long run for all, the most advantageous. And yet that can be said, for the framework worked, individually, and fit in with the goals of the species. The quality of life is all-important. There were fewer suicides, for those who survived, survived because of their own intent, their own desire, and the young died when it seemed natural to them. They died naturally, that is, and wholeheartedly, and were not torn between life and death.

The speakers operate in individual capacity, and yet they affect mass life conditions, for they can point out needed alterations in, say, a political system long before this is apparent. The speakers use language, yet stretch it beyond its means. They are natural communicators, gifted so that their works affect not only the conscious lives of others, but also change and alter dream patterns.

You might decide, for example, to put all of your eggs in one basket in one life, knowing full well that in another you are taking a seemingly appropriate course of action. This is not the only life you will know. Any challenges, triumphs, or problems must be considered in that light.

If you had but one life to live, it would surely be a tragedy if you made any important errors. It would even be a tragedy if you made none—for whatever road you took would seem to be taken at the expense of numberless, perhaps more promising ones.

(10:59.) Ruburt’s body is also a method of communication. It is communication. I want him to give another suggestion for a Turkish reincarnational dream, and I want him to suggest that he see his life in context with others that are equally his own—for from them he can draw greater understanding, energy, and the knowledge that physical vitality, and mental and psychic vitality, go quite well hand in hand. Both last sentences are important.

When he made his earlier choices, leading to his difficulty, he did so in a smaller context, and when he considers his condition, he still does so in the light of one life alone, therefore depriving himself of other knowledge, quite personal, that is available. You will note, if you keep track, that your high and low periods largely correspond, as this afternoon, and the period on Sunday.

Your own difficulties after shoveling become exaggerated because you also make a division between what you think of as your own mental life as opposed to the world’s physical orientation, as if in some way mental life makes you unfit for physical activity. The emphasis upon exercise is vastly overrated. And the most expert athlete can die in his tracks. The body is a mental expression, yet thoughts are physically expressed. There is no physical tremor that is not first a mental one.

(11:24.) As a speaker, I bring into your world information not generally a part of it, and in other terms as speakers yourselves, you contribute your knowledge of the world as it is in your time, along with that vaster knowledge that is a part of your heritage. You are aware of the books we write and of the sessions we hold. You are not aware of the larger ramifications, the communications that continue both while you sleep and while you wake. You are not aware of those greater dimensions of activity that go on as you work at your notes, or familiar with the millions of people who will respond to them in their conscious life, and in the multiconscious level of their dreams. It will help if you keep that in mind.
