(Very forcefully:) One sentence repeated is not the same sentence that it was before! One breath is not another! You are never repeated, and what you know is always new. Because you know it, and because you are the one who knows it, it is never what another one knows. So all knowledge is public — and sacred. And ancient and new.
3. The session given in last Tuesday’s class (for January 29, 1974) had indeed been one of Seth’s best. It was also a long one; the typewritten transcript ran to five and a half single-spaced pages. Seth discussed many of his basic concepts, the wedding of the intellect and the intuitions, his reality and our camouflage physical one, Seth Two, language, myth, and so forth. We’d like to publish it as a chapter in an appropriate book. Here’s how he closed out the session:
(Seth’s material here in the 724th session, given on December 4, 1974, at once reminded me of an informal session he’d held on a Friday evening some 10 months ago. Thirteen of us had gathered in our living room for one of the weekly get-togethers that Jane and I enjoy so much. Some of those present were members of Jane’s ESP class; all had heard Seth speak at one time or another.
(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:
Roman
soldier
tower
Jerusalem
Peter
“Now the scene changed, as one might change a slide in a projector. In another little drama, motionless like the first one, I saw my Roman soldier suspended in the act of falling from the tower. [...] One of them, I believe, ran a spear into the body.
[...] Seth referred to Nebene in the 721st session also.9 Here too, through that individual, the ramifications of authority are confronted again; if in a way less drastic than one involving death, still certainly in a very dogmatic manner, as expressed through Nebene’s rigid personality. [...] Counterparts all — three simultaneous lives in which I seemed to play a part, although, as explained below, I insist that I participated in each one of those existences in my own way.
[...] But I question, at least provisionally, any idea of past or counterpart lives that I lived one hundred percent. At this writing, I think that I am living my only one hundred percent life now, with the privilege of occasionally being able to focus upon scattered portions of those other existences emanating from my whole self, which has its basic reality outside of our space-time concepts.10
“Rob: In one of my own ‘past-life’ memories, I was a guard or sentry on a tower like the one in your drawings. [...]

I am saying that in a way the people alive on the body of the earth have the same kind of relationship, one to another, as the cells have one to the other.
(A one-minute pause at 11:48.) These are like psychic snapshots rather than physical ones, involving instances that are a part of your heritage — yours but not yours. [...]
(Now for two concluding paragraphs of commentary and reference: Jane’s statement that the four-fronted counterpart self persists outside of space and time implies a contradiction, of course — but this situation is one that we, as physical creatures, will in some manner always have to contend with when we encounter certain of Jane’s and Seth’s concepts [including that of the four-fronted counterpart self]. [...] To me your time is a vehicle, one of several by which I can enter your awareness. [...]
