“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] It is a world of individuals, and distorting an old historic statement: God must love individuals because he never made anything else. [...]

[...] To some degree historically speaking, that sort of situation operated in the past when — comparatively speaking, now — people realized that there was indeed an inner world of complexity and richness that could be approached in certain fashions, one that existed alongside with the physical world, so that the two intersected. [...]

[...] So within the system that you know, you also have probable reincarnational selves within those probable historical earths. [...]

In each case the individual is the judge, not only of each succeeding life, its time, environment, and historical date, but also of its overall character and methods of accomplishment. [...]

[...] One historical event may be simultaneously accepted in several probable realities, for example, while others may occur in one and not in an alternate history.

[...] It may not have occurred, in one place and in one time, and to one called Christ; but because man has created the myth, he created the Crucifixion out of his own need; and this Crucifixion, which historically did not occur, as the myth says it occurred, nevertheless has as much reality, and more, than it would have had, had it occurred in so-called hard fact.

[...] So this hypothetical greater identity also chooses to be born in different time periods, historically speaking; and the same pattern appears in which counterparts are born as individuals, each biologically and spiritually connected, but with great intertwinings and variations, as with a physical family tree.

[...] three children who died before the age of three, and records, I believe, attesting to this fact—couched in one of the historical societies—or in land grant information. [...]

[...] Members of your species are at various stages, and if you ignore stereotypes, historical connotations, then you can see traces of all of the areas of man’s so-called past development now in the present, and also examples of future development. [...]

[...] The myth became more “real” than the physical event, which of course is the case in many so-called important historical events. [...]

[...] As Seth and I both noted in Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality, each of us has our focus of identity now—not in some other portion of the spacious present, just as each reincarnational self has his or her own historical focus of identity. [...]

[...] Within the context of my discussion, reincarnation is Seth’s historical version of his counterpart concept, which is that each of us is physically connected with certain other males and females who are living at the same time we are, and who are exploring physical life from a variety of viewpoints in ways that no one physical self could possibly match. [...]

[...] That is, the similarity is one of organization, a variety of historical continuity, a strong and involved ego mechanism, a complicated camouflage code system; without, however, the dual inner and outer sense of alienation with which your race has become involved.

To a very limited extent, the different civilizations and cultures with which you are historically familiar represent a dim glimmering of the various qualities of consciousness and their varieties of experience. [...]

[...] You take it for granted that memory is faulty if you do not agree with another person on the events that happened at a certain place and time — say those in a recently experienced historical past. [...]

[...] There is a close bond between reincarnational cycles and earthly historical periods that we will discuss later. [...]

[...] Seth says that he did not exist as one historic personage. [...]

[...] Whether this is established historically Jane and I do not know. [...]

[...] Although she left Appendix 6 unfinished, it contains many ideas worth more study: “Some of the experiments with man-animals didn’t work out along our historic lines, but the ghost memories of those probabilities still linger in our biological structure … The growth of ego consciousness by itself set up both challenges and limitations … For many centuries there was no clear-cut differentiation between various aspects of man and animal … there were parallel developments in the emergence of physical man … there were innumerable species of man-in-the-making in your terms….” [...]

[...] And behind all, Seth insists upon the condition that each of us chose to experience this camouflage reality within this historical context.

[...] As Seth himself told us in the 683rd session for Volume 1 of this work: “Reincarnation simply represents probabilities in a time context — portions of the self that are materialized in historical contexts.”

[...] She was herself; but in the interweavings of probabilities, while certain agreed-upon historic events were accepted, she admitted into her reality whatever portions of your probable reality she chose. [...]

“These counterparts are psychic relationships, formations that in the deepest terms flow into historic time and out of it. [...]
