“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There are periods, cycles if you prefer, through which such identities live and learn again within your system. To some extent they are taught by others—practice teachers if you prefer. (Amused.)

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: the weapons and destruction are the obvious things that you see. The counterparts are not so evident, and yet it is the counterparts that are important: the self-discipline learned, the control, the compassion that finally is aroused, and the final and last lesson learned—the positive desire for creativity and love over destruction and hatred. When this is learned, the reincarnational cycle is finished.
