Seth in Seth Speaks, recounts he was a spice merchant in Denmark, and that was where he met Ruburt (Jane Roberts) and Joseph, Jane's mate in this life. He had lives as monks, and one as a pope and a victim of the Spanish Inquisition. female lives are, Dutch spinster, courtesan at time of the biblical David, several lives as a humble mother with children. He is an entity, not an aspect of Jane/Ruburt. Jane had to attend out of body preparation classes while her body slept at night, to learn how to channel Seth; not everyone has the temperament for this kind of work. I believe there was an agreement between her and Seth, to do the work.
We each maintain our individuality from life to life.
and this is a belief system planet. it is a duality based planet. Without a belief system, there is basically nowhere to go from there, without some sort of belief system to start from. since it is duality based, some are said to be wrong, some are said to be right, and yet we learn from Monroe, there is no right, there is no wrong. Whatever your belief system is, it will cause you to perceive FROM that belief system, that will be your perception. Perceiving something is not knowledge. a perception is only a perception and is not proven correct or incorrect.
True knowledge can only be demonstrated before it becomes true.
that is why we teach the very thing that we need to learn.
Religion is a belief system. The Christ light is beyond all belief systems, and is within all persons, but basically unrecognized until the person does examine their own belief system, by living the belief system out, and proceeding to the next more comprehensive belief system level.
Seth is asked this question on page 293 of Seth Speaks, the Eternal
Validity of the Soul; Was the statement correct, given by Jane, while speaking for you, that there have been millions of speakers? Or was this distorted?
Seth answers: It was not distorted. The speakers are gifted according to their own characters, some having far more abilities than others, but all having playing roles in the communication of inner data. In your terms, therefore some speakers would be much more accomplished than others. For example, there have been a far smaller number of truly prominent speakers than the number given.
There have been less than 30 great speakers. The Christ entity was one. The Buddha another.
These speakers (the 30) are as active when they are nonphysical as they are when physical. The Christ entity had many reincarnations before the emergence of the Christ personality as known. So it is true of Buddha.
The greatest speakers do not only translate and communicate inner data, but also go much further into these inner realms of reality than others connected with your physical system. They add, then to the basic inner data.
At another level Emerson was a speaker. a man named Maubundu, in Africa, 14 B.C. are several speakers. They are still active in between lives with ELS.
question number four: Is it possible to name or describe a first speaker?
Seth: In greater terms, there was no first speaker. Imagine that you wanted to be ten places at once; and that you actually sent one portion of yourself to each of these 10 places, and that each of these portions were conscious, alert and aware. You, being the 10 of you would be aware of existence in each of the 10 places.
(Bruce is reporting experience of being in more than one place, at this time, because we are able to do this)
Continuing with the speakers; Speakers do not originate in the locations or time periods in which they manifest.
I'm enjoying the conversation Beau and Justin. thank you!
regarding differing kinds of ressurrection, since the body is not real nor eternal, I do not believe Jesus died, not in the sense that we think of death. We often think of this speaker as suffering, painting pictures of him with a thorny crown. A speaker has learned to circumvent suffering, they come and go as they wish from the vehicle of the body.
In Jesus's case or Yeshua as Justin calls him, is probably the more accurate name, I still believe he could transmute his body into pure light at will and this would be a truer ressurrection concept.
In addition more NDE reports are coming in. Where monitoring the body for life signs shows none. and the spirit is able to make a new decision to come back into the body.
I believe as examples for us, to show on a basic level, we are more than the body, that it is the soul which animates the flesh, and that consciousness came first, the body second.
