“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

“Rob: In one of my own ‘past-life’ memories, I was a guard or sentry on a tower like the one in your drawings. Or I was the sentry’s enemy, who came up the steps and attacked him. I was overcome and pushed off the tower, falling backwards in the position your drawing shows. It was night or semi-dark.”

(A group of us — Alex, Warren,² and others — had come over to Jane and Rob’s for a casual get-together, and also to talk about that week’s class, which seemed to be one of the “milestone” classes that happen occasionally.³ During the conversation, Alex said that the rise of literacy in the world would spread Seth’s ideas on a scale that had never previously been possible. In the discussion of “primitive” and “civilized” man that followed, Warren presented his opinion that some civilizations, such as those of Babylonia, Egypt, the Incas, and so forth, had been founded by initiate groups from Atlantis⁴ … that while “primitive” man may have had a kind of gestalt consciousness, he had no individual consciousness. As Warren made similar remarks about the development of individual consciousness through historical times to our point of civilization, Seth suddenly and unexpectedly came through loudly and forcefully:

(Here, Rob asked if Seth would “shed some light” on why all those masses of people had chosen to allow the eradication of their histories by the elite.)

In one of our books (Rob grimaced — much laughter), I will take many chapters to answer.

(Rob: “How about a little hint?”)

(Rob: “Medium-sized?” Laughter. Someone says, “Do you get this sort of thing all the time?”)

(Rob: “Yeah, well, say a group of people chose that type of existence, where their history was essentially obliterated by never being recorded. Could reincarnational reasons be involved, probabilities, or what?”)

(To Rob:) Remember the private session I gave you the night before last, in which I told you that you could have developed very well as a sportsman⁷ — considering the athletic qualities involved — instead of as an artist or writer. In this life, however, you used [the elements of] your personal environment as tools for the artist. The sportsman that you might have been would have used the same tools far differently.

(To Rob:) So that is a very partial hint as to the direction the material will take when I begin to answer your question!
