“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(She enjoyed the exchange a great deal, she made sketches while speaking on such subjects as the many facets of the electron and its behavior; time and its variations; gravity, its changes with motion, and its attributes in the past, present, and future; the velocities of light; mathematical equations; astronomy, including perceptions by telescope of the future as well as of the past; the structure of the earth’s core; earthquakes and “black” sound/light; language, including glossolalia and her own Sumari; pyramids, coordination points, and so forth. Our guest recorded it all and is to send us a transcript [which he did]. Jane plans to quote parts of it in Psychic Politics.² These bits are from her material about gravity and age: “There is a different kind of gravity that surrounds older objects than that which surrounds younger ones, but we don’t perceive this at the level of our instruments. We can pick it up, however, if we know where to look. Age affects gravity … Older objects are heavier. This is ordinary gravity — not some new kind.”

In your dreams, in your terms, you find your personal past appearing in the present, so in those terms the past of the species also occurs. (Long pause.) Future probabilities are worked out there also so that individually and en masse the species decides upon its probable future. There is a feeling, held by many, that a study of dream reality will lead you further away from the world you know. Instead, it would connect you with that world in most practical terms.

Now: In your terms only, [neither of you] … has a reincarnational future. Give us a moment … You have accepted this as your breaking-off point. In other terms there are three future lives, but your greater intents, as of now, break you off from this system of reality, and you have already journeyed, both of you, into another; and from that other reality I speak. In those terms I am a part of both of your realities. Think of this in terms of other information given this evening, and you may see what I mean.¹⁵

Time expands in all directions, and away from any given point.⁸ The past is never done and finished, and the future is never concretely formed. You choose to experience certain versions of events. You then organize these, nibbling at them, so to speak, a bit “at a time.”

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.” You are afraid to consider future lives because then you have to face the death that must be met first, in your terms. And so you never think of future selves, or how you might benefit from knowing them….
