“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

For this reason I’ve chosen three full, though brief, sessions, and portions of several consecutive recent ones. This presentation shows Seth’s way of weaving one subject through another as he inserts new discussions and information while building on past sessions, and points up his method of using Rob’s and my own daily experiences as a launching pad for his own material.

You may even smile at the child’s utter sense of desolation until he finally connects the motion of his own hand with the destruction of the paper cardboard house that is now gone, and in his eyes, gone beyond repair.

Now, mankind builds civilizations. He has gone beyond the child’s game. The toys are real, and yet basically the analogy holds. I am not condoning those violences that occur. The fact is that they can never be condoned, and yet they must be understood for what they are: man, learning through his own errors. He also learns by his successes, and there are times when he holds his hand, moments of deliberation, periods of creativity. (Pause.) Identities take many roles in many lives.

They exploded and were re-created many times—disappeared and returned. They would seem to pulsate. To you, they would seem to disappear for eons. To them, their existence was continuous. As atoms and molecules give your chairs a reality within your system even though the atoms and molecules themselves come and go, so this planetary system still retains its identity. Your astronomers may perceive a ghost image of it at the edges of your universe, but only a reflection from a reality that you cannot perceive. Now take your break.

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.

There can be, in your terms, some loss of memory—complications that confuse the knowledge of origin. When the situation does occur, there is always a division of forces, some entities turning to form, and others not entering the process. These watch, keeping their memories and knowledge intact, and acting as directors against whose memories the new models are formed. Again: this has happened within your own system.
