“Relax, all of you. You do yourselves no good by rehashing the past in a negative manner. This applies to you and to everyone in the room, in whatever way given. Your future selves are as real as your past selves. You are here. You are with your selves and you are safe.
It would do each of you good, in fact, as you go to sleep at night, to say to yourself, ‘I am couched safely in the soul of my being. Therefore am I secure and can I move with the greatest ease and freedom in all the dimensions of my reality. ‘The past has no power over me, for I live secure in the power of the present and the knowledge of my own power and reality.’
Whenever you react as you have just reacted, and as others here can react when other subjects come up, you are granting to the past, power that it does not have. and you are denying yourselves the power of the present in which you reside, and through which present you can therefore change the past and its seeming effect on you.
You are NOT powerless before your past, whatever it might be. You are born anew in this moment. Therefore, each of you, use it to assert the independence and the joy and the vitality of your being. From here, you make your reality, not from the past.”
Jane Roberts/Seth Quotes, Unpublished ESP class session February 5, 1974.
