“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now you may or may not realize that here we have made a small, a very small, start in the study of multidimensional personality. And the theories are not yet fully presented by any means. But the theories will be laid out, and clearly, and the methods will be laid out, and clearly. And I hope that by the time these theories are laid out, you can use them well. And you are beginning to use them now whether or not you realize it. For you cannot understand the self that you know when you think that it is the only self that you are. For the self that you know is only a small portion of your entire identity.

And Jung’s so-called “unconscious” is very conscious indeed. When you allow yourselves enough freedom, you will be able to close your eyes and become aware of these other fully conscious portions of your own identity. For when you momentarily leave aside your ego, as I have told you before, there is not chaos, there is not darkness, there is not a maze of subjectivity. Instead, there is a fully conscious and wise light. And the light belongs to other layers of your own personality. It illuminates your own egotistical awareness even now whether or not you realize it, and it guides your actions even now whether or not you realize it.

And do not judge according to your egotistical ideas alone. I am speaking to you now since you have set yourself (Brad) some problems. It took courage to set yourself the particular problems that you did for this existence, otherwise you would have tackled so many at one time, so to speak. There were certain truths that you found difficult to face. Now when I say this, I do not mean that the truths were difficult. I merely mean that in past lives there were certain portions of reality in which you did not have experience. And in this life you decided to experience these. And you are so doing and you are working toward solutions. If you knew this and if you knew what the problems were at this point, the problems would not be as real and the solutions would not be as valid. It would be like cheating in an examination.

You (Rachel) are somewhat like Ruburt, in that you are gifted but you are also highly cautious. You know very well that you are gifted. You are concentrating upon your job and upon physical security, and you are determined that you will be well cared for in your later years. All your conscious efforts are focused in that direction. And at the present time you are not willing to give that much attention to these other portions of your personality that you recognize do exist. And you have recognized your own gifts for some time. You are much more aware of your inner travels than you think you are. You know more about your nightly excursions than you admit to yourself. You come to class because you like me—you also come to class because it is your contact with this inner reality and you do not want to lose contact with it. You are not willing, however, to go all the way, at this point. You can, however, allow yourself more freedom than you are now allowing yourself. And I tell you this honestly—you can afford yourself more freedom than you are presently allowing yourself. You are afraid for example that in psychological time—granted you find the physical time for it—you will take needed energy away from your physical pursuits. Now I tell you, you are overly concerned with these pursuits, that you could get the same results by trying less, by being freer. You are trying too hard... you can get better results by being freer—in your relationships with those with whom you work and in your own attitude—you will get better physical results. You will also get better physical results if you will allow yourself more inner freedom for you will gain energy and strength that you need now. You will not be depleted, but refreshed.
