Seth, to me, appears to present reincarnation in 2 ways.
First, he presents it in a typical linear fashion of 1 life after another, where in 1 life our current mother may have been our brother, or our wife may have been our father. This is to me the traditional view that 1 separate soul goes through a host of lives in sequential order, going from the most primitive to the most evolved. As Seth says, once all potentials are tapped by the person, the reincarnation cycle is over.
But secondly, he of course says that all these lives are simultaneous. Truth, in my humble experience, is often a paradox. My problem is this: if all lives are actually occurring at the very same time, how can our current mother have been our brother, since she would therefore be both our mother and brother at the same time! Or our “current” wife would also currently be our father. Does that make sense?
If reincarnation is simultaneous, I envisioned our entity, like a glowing orb. From this orb hang human lives, each dipping into another period of earth history. All lives are going on at once, just as all channels on a TV set are LIVE right now, even if you happen to be tuned into just 1 (my metaphor for an individual life). So again, how could anyone be playing multiple roles in various incarnations if they are all happening NOW at the same time?
If you can resolve this for me, I would appreciate it. But what I would really like is for someone to do this using their own words instead of just doing a data dump of Seth quotes. I want to know someone has thought about this and can explain it in current human terms instead of just dumping a load of Seth quotes on me and expecting me to just figure it all out. For the record, I am reading every single Seth book. I am taking cliff notes on them all by subject. I don’t need more quotes!
