“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Each life, regardless of its nature, possesses it own unique vantage point, and an individual may sometimes take an obscure or a long-lasting disease simply to present himself or herself with experience that most others would shun. An individual might seek such a vantage point in order to look at the universe in a different fashion, asking questions that perhaps could not be answered if asked from any other position.

[...] I feel (as Seth mentioned in the 721st session) that I wasn’t Nebene, or two different Roman soldiers per se, but rather that my whole self chose to manifest such personalities together; that I, too, am such a manifestation at a “later” time, then, and that from my own vantage point I can tune in to those other lives. [...]

[...] I’ll close this appendix with two more queries that psychically are much more personal and very intriguing: Had Peter Smith viewed the same events on that tower in Jerusalem from the vantage point of the soldier who killed my soldier? [...]

[...] However, the situation way back then would have depended on what walls existed (as well as upon my own psychic “vantage point”). [...]

[...] He could theoretically move to a better vantage point in the twinkling of an eye, relatively speaking, but for now we must largely use analogies. Those analogies may lead you or Ruburt, or a few others, to a more advantageous vantage point, so that certain leaps become possible—but those leaps, you see, are not just leaps of intellect but of will and intuition alike, fused and focused.

[...] It is as if you set up a small healing station, or platform and from that vantage point the body is then able to use its healing abilities far more effectively than usual.

[...] It is by altering its own relationship with the physical universe that consciousness can best understand its own properties, and glimpse from another vantage point that physical universe, where it will be seen in a different light. [...]

[...] The methods can be used together, of course, and from your vantage point must be for the greatest efficiency. [...]

[...] From his vantage point it is a matter of when contact can best be made. [...]

He may think of some hypothetical literary writer—a composite image again, comfortable enough, slightly avant-garde, fashionably so, in contact with his peers, quite forgetting again that his—and his mind has always been far less conventional than that, far more probing and again, forgetting that he always enjoyed viewing society from a vantage point slightly outside of it. [...]

[...] It is far better to situate yourself firmly in your own reality, acknowledge it as your own, encourage your strength and creativity, and from that vantage point view those areas of the world or of your own society that need constructive help. [...]

In my own book, for an intellectual exercise—and simply for that, since I do believe that all of you do exist—I am going to deal in one chapter with the difficulties of proving—from my vantage point—that three-dimensional reality does exist and is inhabited by creatures—thinking creatures. [...]

Now let us look at the roots of self-disapproval from another vantage point. [...]

[...] He no longer merged his awareness, so that he learned to look at a tree as one object, where before he would have joined with it, and perhaps viewed his own standing body from the tree’s vantage point. [...]

This does not mean there are not, for your understanding, “good products and bad products” from your vantage point. [...]

[...] Man from his particular vantage point imagines images and events that are not before his eyes. [...]

[...] It has solved one problem and decided to use the method to solve another, or it has decided that from its particular vantage point it would rather close the books and begin anew.

But for such consciousnesses the bulk of their activities will be elsewhere, possibly in other probable realities, possibly in nonphysical realities that we can hardly imagine from our own vantage points. [...]

[...] Instead, your vantage point and your focus is such that you cannot turn your head to look higher. [...]

[...] There are ancient maps drawn from a 200-mile-or-more vantage point — these meticulously completed on return from such journeys.
