“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There is a reason why these lessons must be learned in just this way. Elementally there is only creativity. Destruction is merely the changing of form. A cloudburst or a tornado knows nothing of destruction. This same energy encased within a human form is something else. There are different kinds of creativity, then, that must be learned, and a specialization in energy’s focus and feelings that emerges—elemental energy becoming conscious of itself and aware of issues that did not exist for it “earlier;” millions of molecules momentarily united with living consciousness, filled with primal energy, now learning love and forming highly sensitive psychic patterns; electrical charges that now form emotions instead of clouds; the innocent chaos of undifferentiated personality that exists behind the highly specified and truly sophisticated mechanism of one thought. And all of this before an individual is born within your system! In terms of time, this is behind us all.

This is some of the most important material that I have given you, for you have wondered about the purpose (of consciousness within this system), and have been able often only to see one small speck of time and space.

There were nine planets once, grouped like jewels around the sun. They were evenly spaced, one from the other, and they were evenly distributed outward from the sun. And this was the first system that knew the race of man. These were in your corner of the universe, but in your terms they would have seemed to have drifted off so far that none of your instruments could ever find them.

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.

It possessed creatures of consciousness, but not as you know creatures. Energy, entities (long pause), continually transforming massive roytans …

There was a direct and instantaneous reaction between consciousness and matter, an outburst of electromagnetic power strong enough to seed a universe. Your universe is but one of many, and you perceive but a small portion of it. Now I will end the session unless you have questions.
