“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] But that does not mean there are not future lives in earthly terms for you. If all of your lives are looked at like a Ferris wheel, then this is the seat you are in when you get off, though some of the other boxes or seats may be labeled future or past.

In certain terms then, and following a given line of probabilities, in future lives you know the outcome of your work now, and you can also ask for advice from your future selves, who are very actively interested, since their reality is so involved with your own. [...]

(By way of reactions, we thought of improving our behavior in any such future encounters, insistently if necessary, and of preparing for them by informing would-be visitors that they’d have to read a selected list of books beforehand. [...]

[...] The Atlantis, however, as it is known in myth and pseudo-fact, is a psychic structure from the future that sheds its light backward into the past, and illuminates not one but several past cultures, which taken together, become in your terms a conglomerate Atlantis.

Present and future experience of those in the room are available to me, and as real as their present experience. [...] I say for example that I am aware of their past and future actions and thoughts; and yet what I am aware of, actually, are ever-shifting and changing patterns, both in the future and in the past.

(11:00.) Some of the events that I see connected very clearly with these persons in the future may not, in your physical system, occur. [...] I would have to tune into a future date, in your terms, and probe it with all of its ramifications in order to ascertain which of the probable actions I saw in your earlier would be actualized in your later.

I perceive people in a room in a far different manner than they perceive themselves; their various past and future reincarnated personalities, but not their probable selves, are perceivable to me.

[...] I am aware, within the limitations mentioned, of future events in your lives. [...]

[...] He will become involved directly or indirectly through Timothy (humorously), and he will have much to do in the future with our own work. [...]

[...] The experience was a split one, involving an accident in the past and one in the future, that were fused in his perception. [...]

[...] Eve represented the nighttime as well as a name, and this led to a future possibility, a minor accident involving Mr. Mossman’s Eve. [...]

[...] This was a slip on Jane’s part, for Callista had actually said James’s future.

[...] You can perceive the future as you can perceive the past, again speaking in your terms only. You react to the future today. [...]

Now the future, in your terms, to that extent affected the present but this is something that you all do all of the time. You must remember that there are no divisions between past, future, and present and that you do not react simply to the present. [...]

[...] Your body is your method of perception at this time, but I am telling you that if you identify your entire reality with your body then you are heading for severe feelings of depression and desolation and also letting yourself in for some surprises in the future. [...]

Now you are used, to some extent, to studying your dreams for precognitive information and checking dream events against future events, but you are not used to checking your reactions in the waking state today against the information that you learn tomorrow. [...]

“Therefore, it is possible to react in the past to an event that has not yet occurred, to be influenced by your own future. It is also possible for an individual to react in the past to an event in the future which may never occur in your terms.

[...] You perceived that portion of the probable future and reacted to it, and the possible transformation of yourselves into those images did not occur. Because past, present, and future exist simultaneously, there is no reason why you cannot react to an event whether or not it happens to fall within the small field of reality in which you usually observe and participate.

“Again: the past is as real as the future, no more or no less. [...] … An individual’s future actions are not dependent upon a concrete finished past, for such a past never existed.”

“I mentioned, in our last discussion, that this material would be the basis for future sessions. [...]

[...] You are seeking from future probabilities unpleasant—or perhaps the most unpleasant—circumstances, and actually demanding that the body handle that stimuli now (all intently).

[...] If one unpleasant event today automatically causes you to think of 20 more that might happen in the future and you dwell upon those, then you hopelessly confuse your body. [...]

[...] This involves communicating not only with past personalities in your terms, but future ones. [...]

Since past, present, and future do not exist, this is a level of crystal clear communication of consciousness. [...]

[...] The future speaks to the past. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Those from both your past and your future have a hand in your present world, and at this level the problems that have been met and will be encountered are being discussed. [...]

[...] Your past, present and future does not concern them. They also have memory of the past and future, but always experienced within the context of the present; and this is quite at variance with your own experience.

It is very difficult for them to understand your ideas of past, present and future. [...]

From what I have told you it is obvious that there can be memory of the future as well as memory of the past.

[...] There are far too many complicated discussions along this particular line, so we will not attempt the matter now, but merely note it as one we will develop in the future.

Living in the moment will automatically let some of these things take place, and will automatically, again, stop negative projections into the future; even a five-minute future.

Because you are obsessed with the idea of time as past, present and future, you are forced to think of reincarnations as strung out one before the other, and indeed we speak of past lives simply because you are used to the time sequence concept. [...] To make the concept understandable to you it is convenient to speak of past and future reincarnations.

[...] Since there is actually only a spacious present this means that the self is rooted both in the past and in the future, using your terms.

[...] In a basic manner, as you know, the past, present and future exist at once in the spacious present.

[...] You simply do not recognize that the so-called past exists now as surely as the so-called future exists now.

He should also imagine the future when present symptoms have vanished like the others. Anything but projecting them into the future. [...]

[...] He may make contact with you in his now during this visit, but this may not be known by you or experienced by you until some time in your future.

[...] The idea behind the psycho-cybernetics exercises is that in the future such thinking will become automatic.

(Jane asked that I read her some Seth material, so I picked the last nine sessions — starting with our new resolve and intent on July 30, after the long layoff since July 4. They’re all short sessions, but now carry all of our hopes for the future, and so far have been paying off. We also talked of plans for the future.

[...] As a rule anything that you know is categorized by you as either memory or present experience, since usually you do not realize you have practical knowledge of what would seem to be the future. Your own knowledge of Joseph is, for example, from both past and future.

[...] I explained to her about what I really meant by my question concerning physical life in the future, and she then said that Seth was going to comment on our experience in physical reality in new ways in the future, rather than experience a lifetime of continuous physical creatures.

[...] (To me:) You will not reincarnate again in physical terms, but those who will can also have dreams in which they catch a glimpse of their own future life.

[...] You react to others, not only because of their position and relationship to you in this place and in this time, but because of memories from the past and, in your terms, because of memories from the future. For what you do today affects not only the future, in your terms, but also the past. [...]

There are, indeed then, connections between you that you would call past connections but connections that also reach into the future as you conceive of it. [...]

[...] So when I tell you that time has open ends I will presently be satisfied if you understand that you can affect both the past and the future from your present viewpoint, and that is extremely simple. [...]

[...] So you are affected, again only in your terms, by your future reincarnations as well as your past ones. [...]

[...] It was indeed a dreamlike world, but a highly charming and vital one, in which dreaming imaginations played rambunctiously with all the probabilities entailed in this new venture: imagining the various forms of language and communication possible, spinning great dream tales of future civilizations replete with their own built-in histories—building, because they were now allied with time, mental edifices that automatically created pasts as well as futures.

(Pause.) In a fashion those ancient dreamers, through their immense creativity, dreamed all of life’s creatures in all of their pasts, presents, and futures—that is, their dreams opened up the doors of space and time to entities that otherwise would not have been released into actualization, even as, for example, the units of consciousness were once released from the mind of All That Is.

[...] As a result you forget your natural selves, and become involved in a secondary, largely imaginary culture: beliefs that are projected negatively into the future, individually and en masse. [...]

[...] These may belong to the past, present or future, in your terms.

[...] In the dream state you experienced literally a future life that existed as a definite possibility. [...]

[...] Therefore you are aware subconsciously of your own future, since you chose it.

[...] You foresaw then future possibilities within the main choice system.

The forward motion brings you into the future, out of the past from which it seems you are emerging. [...] Each present moment of your experience is dependent upon the future as well as the past, your death as well as your birth. [...]

[...] Past, present, and future merge in a seemingly bizarre alliance in which, were you waking, you would lose all mental footing. [...]

[...] In your terms they emerge from the future and form the past, and are given vitality because of creative tension that exists between what you think of as your birth and your death.

[...] Whenever you feel that you have not used your abilities fully, you are doing two things: you are disapproving of yourself as you are, taking it for granted that you have gone astray in an important fashion, and you are also projecting that disapproval and “error” into the future.

(10:11.) When you become so worried, of course, you concentrate even further on the problem—how bad it is, and what will happen if it becomes worse in the future. [...]

[...] You felt too sorry for him, and yet angry and embarrassed, and all of that was caused by concentrating upon the problem, projecting it in the future, in the definite belief, for all I have said, that that method of problem-solving works.

[...] The way to solve a health problem, whether private or national, is to emphasize its existence, exaggerate its characteristics, and project into the future, and this is supposed to bring health.

[...] But this procedure is so far superior to anything that you know that the body, therefore, actually takes precognitive pictures of its future condition — as if the body situation at the time were projected into the future.

[...] In your terms this means that each cell operates with an innate picture of the body’s entire history — past, present, and future.

[...] An alteration in just one cell is instantly noted by the body consciousness (the combined consciousnesses of the cells), and the future effect perceived. [...]

This is merely an analogy but it will explain your body’s concept of itself; for as a whole it knows it “dies,” as now its portions do, but is also aware of its “future” transformation. [...]

If you hold grudges, if you—and I mean both or either of you—concentrate upon past dissatisfactions with Prentice to whatever degree, and if you project those differences into the future, then to that degree will such be your future experience with Prentice.
