“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Or the earth did. [...]

[...] Some have failed, but the inhabitants of some earths have succeeded very well.

[...] First of all, take it for granted — as you do — that your ideas about the age of the earth are erroneous. [...]

“Those species did not vie for domination of the earth, but simply shared the same general environment with the more sophisticated groupings beyond their own perimeters. [...]

[...] Your methods of dating the age of the earth are very misleading.

[...] Birth and death contain between them the earthly experience that you perceive as happening within a given period of time, through various seasons, and involving unique perceptions within areas of space — encountered with other human beings, all to one extent or another sharing with you events caused by the intersection of the self and time and space.

[...] It seems obvious, but the full enjoyment of life would be impossible in the framework, now, of earthly reality without the knowledge of death.

Even biologically on the most microscopic of levels, there is a vast inbred network of cooperating activity, and these unite the animal and mineral kingdoms with all the other aspects of earthly existence. [...]

[...] All exist (long pause) in an inner webwork, and are held in the memory of an overall earthly knowledge — one that is biological, so that each smallest microbe has within it the imprinted biological messages that form each and every other microbe. [...]

(“Is it space as we know space here on earth?”)

(“How many times have you lived on earth?”)

“In my darker moods I find myself thinking that I love the earth and everything upon it except the increasingly destructive activities of human beings — and sometimes I wonder about the human beings themselves! I love the deserts and forests, the oceans and rivers and lakes of the earth, the plains and the poles, the marshes and the mountains. [...]

“So what about acid rain, say, to name but one human creation that’s having a strong effect upon the earth’s surface and aerial environments? We’re told that it’s now evident in a number of places on earth — often downwind from certain kinds of industrial activity. [...]

“‘Have you ever noticed,’ I said to Jane the other day, ‘that everything on earth remains the same except human activity?’ Jane has heard it all before. [...]

[...] We strive toward an impossible, or at least rosy, future in which we will have met all of our challenges, so that we’ll live in some sort of unreal wonderland on earth. [...]

[...] Certain earth experiences however are dependent upon duration in time, and result as a consequence of the mind playing upon its experience through long earth seasons.

[...] As the mind within the body clearly sees its earthly time coming to an end, mental and psychic accelerations take place. [...]

(Jane continued: “But that devil image comes from a long pagan line of earth gods, and always represented the innate knowledge inherent even in the earth itself. [...]

[...] “I forgot: my head went up through the roof and I guess I was a giant walking over the earth. [...]

All of the ages of Earth, in your terms both past and present, exist, as do future ages. [...]

Biologically it should be easy to understand that you are physically a part of earth and everything within it. [...]

You are biologically connected, chemically connected with the earth that you know; but since it is also formed naturally and spontaneously from your own projected psychic energy, since you and the seasons even have a psychic interaction, then the self must be understood in a far greater context. [...]

(“Did you know either one of us here on earth?”)

(“What was your profession here on earth, Frank Watts?”)

(“Are you saying that we have access to the truth, here on earth?”)

(9:54.) Natural disasters possess the great rousing energy of powers unleashed, of nature escaping man’s discipline, and by their very characteristics also remind man of his own psyche; for in their way such profound events always involve creativity being born, rising even from the bowels of the earth, reshaping the land and the lives of men.

[...] Under such conditions men who feel a part of nothing, of no structure or family or country, can understand in a flash their comradeship with the earth, their place upon it and its energy; through suddenly recognizing that relationship they feel their own power for action.

[...] The symptoms often seem to be inflicted upon the body, just as a natural disaster seems to be visited upon the body of the earth. [...]

(10:27.) There are as many reasons then for “earth illnesses” as there are for body illnesses. [...]

Some of those conditions could be called the result of psychological atmospheres that surround the earth, say. [...]

This time reference is perhaps the most important within earth experience, and the one that most influences all creatures. [...] Earth’s time reference, however, brought to experience a new brilliant focus—and in the press of time, again, certain activities would be relatively more necessary than others, relatively more pleasant or unpleasant than others. [...]

[...] Joseph and Ruburt represent the full scope of your earthly personalities, toward which you must grow. [...]

You existed as j and r spiritually, but you must be fully j and r on earthly plane.

[...] If you do, then again from your viewpoint that particular next earthly life will be yours. If you do not, your next earthly life will be a different one, where for example that information from the future did not take, or was not given.

[...] One entity might focus its main energy, intent, and drive in one particular earth life, filled with incredible creativity, so that that “focus life” becomes a central core for all other existences, the foundation and the source of energy for all other lives.

And I know I am only going to confuse you but if you have probable selves then you know there are probable universes and probable earths and probable histories of your earth and you see what this is going to do to your concept of reincarnation as you now hold it. So within the system that you know, you also have probable reincarnational selves within those probable historical earths. [...]

[...] In your terms, the inhabitants of some earths, however, have succeeded very well and your future, in your terms, is not set. [...]

[...] There is no time schedule, and yet it is very unusual for an individual to wait for anything over three centuries between lives, for this makes the orientation very difficult, and the emotional ties with earth have become weak.

[...] There are those who are simply loners, who reincarnate without any great feeling for earth’s historical periods. [...]

[...] As mentioned earlier, earthly existence is a training period; and yet as far as possible I would like you to forget your ordinary ideas of progression.

The earth years will be experienced again, but not necessarily in continuity. [...]

Each person’s thoughts flow into that formation, forming part of the earth’s psychic atmosphere. From that atmosphere flows the natural earthly patterns from which your seasons emerge with all of their variety and effects. [...] You are creatively involved in the earth’s cycles. [...]

It is easy for you to see that seeds bring forth the fruit of the earth, each [of] their own kind. [...]

(This question refers to a discussion the four of us had at first break, after Seth had given us data on any possible destruction of our earth, the various probable systems involving other earths, etc. We had wondered what course the entities would take who had manifested on our particular probability-earth, in the event of its literal destruction.)

[...] Other probable earths and other probable races of mankind coexist, and you are apart of these also. [...]

[...] I am not speaking of marijuana at all, which is a different thing altogether and is a natural product of the earth. [...]

[...] You may say that such chemicals are natural because they exist within the reality that you know, but the body is equipped to deal with ingredients that come from the earth. [...]

[...] They accept it as a natural ingredient belonging to their earthly structure. [...]
