“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I am speaking here of identity between your selves and the existence of a parallel self in the world of negative matter. That parallel self would not be recognized by you, as psychologically identical, and is indeed quite independent, and a by-product. [...]

It goes without saying, or should, that the inner self sends its projections of inner senses through both the physical universe and the dream universe; yet all this talk of space and placement is a mere convenience. [...]

[...] There was no subconscious distortion on Ruburt’s part, when I told you that the nonphysical self book would sell. [...]

[...] The situation was simply the point at which the cat, in self-defense, threw back the destructive energy which it had received, and I must say in fury and full measure, and in the only way it knew.

[...] I am doing this for you: I have the impression of a six in regard to the nonphysical self book. [...]

[...] The self that decides upon reincarnational existence is the same self who chooses experience within the probable system. [...]

[...] Put it this way: A portion of the whole self focuses in reincarnational cycles and handles developments there. [...]

[...] You break away from self-adopted restrictions, and you grow spiritually as you learn to step aside from limiting conceptions and dogmas.

The inner self is always aware of the hidden mechanisms of these family gestalts. [...]

[...] There are as many different ways to reincarnate, therefore, as there are inner selves, and each inner self will choose its own characteristic methods.

[...] Unconsciously it reminds him of a physically vigorous, flexible self. [...]

[...] Dreams, also being electric actualities, depend upon an electric system of patterns to communicate their data to the various levels or areas of the inner self.

[...] Dreams are particularly interesting from this viewpoint, as the original dream experience is a direct electrical experience, decoded electrically, subjectively then translated for the various areas of the inner self. [...]

(Pause.) You had some time ago an old newspaper article you had saved, on the dangers of using the words “should” or “would” too often—and there is perhaps nothing else you could do that is as detrimental to the true development of the natural self. [...]

Remember what I told you some time ago, though you have made excellent strides in that regard, apropos natural man, in contrast to what you may think you should (underlined) be doing, in terms of any idealized self with characteristics that are not your own. [...]

[...] The release and self-knowledge gained is this last painful episode will allow him to bring more freedom to our sessions.

[...] His rigidity of attitude resulted in a trend for self-destruction, tempered it is true, but dangerous. [...]

[...] To some extent, it is a way that the body distinguishes between self and nonself.

[...] They throw off a barrage of “foul viruses”—that is, they actually collect and mobilize from within their own bodies viruses that are potentially harmful, biologically trigger these, or activate them, and send them out into the environment in self-protection, to ward off the enemy (more vigorously).

[...] The inner self is aware of what is being done in all of these realities. [...]

[...] For this reason the inner self withholds much of its knowledge. [...]

[...] Then use the positive suggestion in your own worth, backed up by your own personal self-examination. [...]

[...] If you do this honestly, feelings of self-worthlessness or despondency will go through and vanish, changing of their own accord. [...]

[...] On a different kind of scale, then, each individual has the same sort of idealized version of the self, and so does each species. [...]

[...] The idealized earth version is not meant to mean a perfect self in flesh at all; instead, it represents a psychic reality in which your own abilities fulfill themselves in relationship with your earthly environment to the fullest extent possible, within the time and place you have already chosen.

[...] You are the judge and the final word in that regard, so that as your ideas change, as you move toward one probable self and decide upon that as your official³ self, you will always have a rich bank of probable actions to choose from. [...]

[...] When he is alone and writing, the distrust of the self becomes apparent. [...]

The whole point of this of course is trusting the inner self—the source of just about any problem. [...]

It is self-propelled, self-perpetuating as a psychological energy unit. [...]

[...] All energy is basically self-activating, but different energy potentials are required for effective utilization in various electromagnetic fields.

More difficult to achieve is an experience in which the ego becomes more alert in self defense. [...] When the ego’s instinct for self-protection is aroused, then of course it rises up in arms. [...]

[...] Now this breaking through is a release of the inner self from the camouflage, and the resulting camouflage laws of any particular plane. [...]

In the matter of publishing, or selling paintings, others are involved—others who very rarely in their lives experience that important encounter between, say, the self as actualized and the idealized sensed self, between the painting or the poem as an ideal and the actualization of that ideal. [...]

[...] He tried to form a protective self to keep himself in line. [...]

The other is the lingering doubt (pause) about the self’s good intent. [...]

[...] It became his version of the soul, and there seemed to be a duality—a self who acted in the physical universe, and a separate spiritlike soul that acted in an immaterial world.

Sleepwalking was once, in that beginning, a very common experience—far more so than now—in which the inner self actually taught the physical body to walk, and hence presented the newly emerged physically oriented intellect from getting in its own way, asking too many questions that might otherwise impede the body’s smooth spontaneous motion.
