“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Like the fossilized layers within the physical earth, so do the subconscious layers hold intact the traces of an individual’s past lives. [...]

[...] As earthquakes cause lava to boil up seemingly from the center of the earth, so do some secondary personalities in their explosive emersion bring with them debris from other levels of the subconscious, often personifying themselves in the guise of those buried and frightening fears that have, until then, found no vehicle for expression.

[...] Ruburt is the sum of the earthly personalities, intimately aware of all past lives.

Each of the personalities alive on your own earth are connected. [...]

[...] He’s known many places on earth, and many loves as man and as woman, but I’ll bet that even now his experiences are still new, and that he reinforces Jane’s living feelings for each one of us. [...]

[...] To the child the father simply vanished from the face of the earth, an equally fearful fate.

[...] Incidentally, working with the earth will almost always restore him.

[...] The idea of a god’s “descent” to earth was ancient. [...]

[...] An avalanche or a flood or an earthquake will not be seen as a natural act of the earth’s natural creativity, but instead as a punishment from God for sin.

(8:53.) Early artists hoped to understand the very nature of creativity itself as they tried to mimic earth’s forms. [...]

[...] Jane functioned all right, but felt as though she could “fly,” as though her feet would not come back to earth. [...]

[...] The female principle then became connected with the earth and all those elements of its life over which you as a species hoped to gain power.

(“Seth, when you were incarnated on earth as Frank Watts, did you know a Treva Watts?”)

Furthermore, the natural elements of sun, air, and earth are refused him. [...]

[...] For they intuitively recognize the need to be free, and they sense the lack of the mystic communion with the earth that has been denied them. [...]

[...] Seth went on to say that once this proof was made known and accepted, it would change the behavior of every man on earth, for man would have to live his physical life in the face of knowledge of an afterlife.

And amid all of this frenetic activity our painting and writing—those activities we’d always regarded as the creative hearts of our lives, the very reasons we’d chosen to live on earth this time around—had receded into a far distance, so that they’d become like dimly remembered dreams, or perhaps actions practiced in probable lives by “more fortunate” versions of ourselves.

[...] It was a national holiday, sacrificial day ...something that we would translate into atonement but that wasn’t the word at all ...where children were sacrificed, so that the earth would grow ... [...]

If there are individual probable selves, then of course there are probable earths, all taking roads that you have not adopted. [...]

[...] The object was a homemade pattern made on light-colored paper, with hand-ground gray brown earth color for pigment and polymer medium for binder. [...] The effect is like an inkblot, except that the quality and texture of the paint is much superior as far as charm goes; this particular hand-ground pigment, which I make myself by heating a certain Italian earth color, has a texture like fine cement or roughened stone. [...]

[...] As far as we know, human beings are the only creatures on earth who would seriously engage in such learned, futile behavior. [...]

Aside from anything Seth has said or ever may say about other probable realities, or even about human origins here on earth, I think it most risky at this stage in history for anyone—scientist or not—to dogmatically state that life has no meaning, or is a farce, or that attributes of our reality of which we can only mentally conceive at this time do not really exist. [...]

Now, in your terms you are graced to have a half acre of land upon the earth, and the hillside, with trees that change, and a house that is secure. To some small extent that environment is a part of the entire earthly structure, and its roots go deeply into the past and the future. [...]

When man feels powerless, however, and in a state of generalized fear, he can even turn the most natural earthly ingredients against himself. [...]

Earth life is seen as murky, a dim translation of greater existence, rather than portrayed as the unique, creative, living experience that it should be. [...]

I have said elsewhere that no species is ever really eradicated — and in those terms no disease, or virus, or germ, ever vanishes completely from the face of the earth. [...]
