“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(To resume: Sue Watkins, one of Jane’s ESP class members, left three questions last night for Seth to answer when possible. Here is question 1: When I project while I am pregnant, is my astral body pregnant; i.e., does the astral body carry the astral counterpart of the fetus, or does the astral fetus remain in my physical body, within the physical fetus? Does astral projection remove any necessary energy sustenance from the fetus?

(“Can you say a little bit about Sue’s first question, about the astral body of the fetus?” Jane didn’t know I was going to ask this question.)

The fetus does have its own astral form. Now, this astral form belongs to the individual, the personality as it will be in this life. It is not the astral form that existed in a previous reincarnation, for example.

There are many complicated issues here. I will try to put them simply. (Long pause.) There is great energy connected with the fetus. At no time in physical life is so much energy utilized so purposefully, so well directed. It is this charge of energy, of truly cosmic proportion, that allows for this initial breakthrough into matter.

The personality is busy transforming literally infinite data. Much of this work has already been done by the third month of pregnancy. As quickly as the new data forms the fetus and the physical structure, the self from the previous reincarnation must begin to withdraw its hold. It enters briefly then into this process. It does not become the new individual however.
