“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In the foregoing chapters, I have taken excerpts from many sessions in order to present Seth’s views on various topics. This appendix is included for those readers who would like a more complete look at individual sessions, and a clearer idea of the way in which the material was originally given.

The race of man is far more than the physical race, however. You see him in but one stage of development. When an individual leaves your system, it is for other systems. He has learned his ABC’s, but that is all. There are exceptions—identities who choose to return and teach. They are not in the same league, so to speak, as those whose reincarnational cycles are not complete. They may return, even enduring violence, as a man might set up a school amid a jungle of savages.

Now: existence uses form. When a planetary system is disrupted, in many cases entities who are attracted to it or consider it their home, simply change their form, regroup their forces, and—if they consider it worthwhile—put the house back in order. They enter, then, such forms as are available or make such forms as could survive. This has been done within your own system on several occasions. It is not often done, however, since with the materials at hand, often a complicated-enough structure cannot be formed in which consciousness can fully enough express itself.
