Lately Joseph has found himself embarked upon a series of episodes that seem to involve reincarnational existences. There was a catch, however. He saw himself as a woman — black. Last month he also saw himself as a Roman soldier aboard a slave ship. He previously had experience that convinced him that he was a man called Nebene.9 All of this could have been accepted quite easily in conventional terms of reincarnation, but Joseph felt that Nebene and the Roman soldier had existed during the same general time period, and he was not sure where to place the woman (but see Note 1).
Joseph was “picking up” on lives that “he” lived in the same time scheme. In this way and in your terms, he was beginning to recognize the familyship that exists between individuals who share your earth at any given time.
You are counterparts of yourselves, but as Ruburt would say (amused), living “eccentric”11 counterparts, each with your own abilities. So Joseph “was” Nebene, a scholarly man, not adventurous, obsessed with copying ancient truths, and afraid that creativity was error; authoritative and demanding. He feared sexual encounter, and he taught rich Roman children.
At the same time, in the same world and in the same century, Joseph was an aggressive, adventurous, relatively insensitive Roman officer, who would have little understanding of manuscripts or records — yet who also followed authority without question.12

Appendix
(In the 6th session, however, I made quite an intuitive remark: I told Jane I had the notion that Ruburt had once been Joseph. [...] After I made my statement about Ruburt and Joseph, Seth spelled out his reply through the board’s pointer as it moved quickly beneath our fingertips:)
[...] That is, for a brief time, Joseph (Rob) was consciously able to perceive a portion of another existence.
Now our friend Joseph here was able to handle another reality while still being involved in this one. [...]
There are, of course, future memories as well as past ones … As Joseph often says, “When you think of reincarnation, you do so in terms of past lives.” [...]
