“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

A person in time, then, can only do so much, and in your terms the great sources of the psyche are barely tapped in a given lifetime. That much is obvious. Earlier in this work I hinted at the hypothetical existence of a truly fulfilled earth-person — with a hyphen.¹ All of the spiritual, mental, and biological abilities would be actualized to whatever extent possible. Each physical body — in its own way, now, following its own individual peculiarities — would develop whatever skills it chose and found comfortable. Bodily abilities, however, would be freely expressed so that one woman might be a great runner, or a man excel at swimming. Physical endurance of the kind now considered extraordinary would be the norm. At the same time, all of the latent spiritual and mental qualities would be fulfilled in a like manner, so that all of the potentials of the species would find actualization in the most developed way in the experience of each individual. All aspects of the sciences and the arts would be explored.

(Pause.) Each individual recognizes the existence of abilities or talents, leanings or propensities, that are largely unexpressed. In your system of reality you must operate in time. To develop as an athlete, for example, great training is required that automatically focuses energy and activity, and hence usually precludes deep concentration to the same degree in a different area. Similarly, to be a musician or an artist or a writer takes effort in time, and automatically focuses attention in specified directions that bar the same kind of work in other fields.

(Pause at 10:02.) Again, in the terms of one lifetime such achievements are practically impossible. This does not mean that a different kind of education would not bring those ideals closer. It does mean that individuals choose to develop certain portions of their abilities, and that such a choice often necessitates ignoring other talents.

Each of those children wants to develop its abilities in a particular manner, translating them into earth experience in such a way that all other portions of the earth are also benefited.

[...] I don’t mind noting that I wish she had.² She might have been able to offer insights about it that I couldn’t come up with, especially concerning the seemingly endless abilities of the psyche — call it personalized energy, consciousness, or what-have-you — to travel through its own space and time.

[...] I trust the elements of those perceptions, and my reactions to them, but their conscious understanding and integration remain beyond my abilities at this time. [...]

[...] A peculiar set of abilities and interests is required for work like this to be even partially successful, or accepted by the personalities involved. [...]
