“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(On March 29, last Thursday, I failed to get to the hospital to see Jane for the first time since she was admitted last April 20. The reason was simple: a late snowstorm of very deep and heavy wet snow the night before, and continuing on into the next day, had split the Chinese elms in the back yard and caused the one nearest the garage to fall across the driveway, so I couldn’t get the car out of the garage. The trees are ruined. Insurance will not pay for them. On March 31, Frank Longwell came over with his power saw and helped clear the driveway enough so I could get the car out. The day before, John Bumbalo had taken me back and forth to the hospital.

Reincarnational influences are not nearly as rigid as many believers in the concept think. That is, reincarnational influences usually leave many options open to an individual in any case. It is quite simplistic, for example, to say, as some people do, that any given particular event from a past life leads inevitably to a particularly matching effect in a present one. There are too many other elements that also apply to the human personality. No one is “fated” to have bad health. No one is punished in one life for “evil” activities in a previous one.

(4:24 p.m. I read the session to Jane. While I did she had some thoughts of her own — that a person can choose illness, for example, in order to explore that reality, and to exert certain effects upon others around the ill person: thoughts I have had many times — my old idea of consciousness getting to know itself in as many ways as possible.
