“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Physically you multiply. If you have a child, you are not diminished. You are not less yourself. You accept parents and grandparents, and see them as individuals, while you yourself are also you as an individual, and yet sprung from the same biological seeds.

Your parents have physical representations of their memories in terms of photos and letters — but take your break.

Now: Those memories are not yours, and yet they are a very definite part of your heritage. In some cases your parents might tell you about events that happened in your own early childhood that you have forgotten. In a strange way, however, these are not your memories, but those of your parents about you. You take it on faith that particular events occurred even though you do not recall them.

New paragraph. Those incidents are recorded unconsciously, however, if they applied to your direct experience; and under hypnosis, for example, you could make them your own. So there are different kinds of memories. You share certain biological similarities with your parents, but there are other biological groupings not understood, uniting counterparts in any given century.

(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. They add to what you are. They can give you correct information about the “past,” even as your parents’ photographs can tell you about a time in which you did not directly participate (in your terms). The old photographs will strike a chord within you, however, and so will the psychic memories.
