“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I am talking in terms of the self within the self within the self...the self that watches the self... the conscious alert self of which your present conscious mind is but a shadow. And this has nothing to do with the ego, which is only a small portion of waking consciousness.

I am not sure whether or not I correctly interpret your question. However, you only seem to be the main conscious part of your identity. Other portions of yourself may consider their selves as the main origin of personality. They would therefore look at you and at your ego, you see, as a fringe self. The ego seems to think that all other portions of the personality circle about it. This is hardly the case.

I have said this to you often, as a group; I say it [to] you again as a group, and I say it to you personally: you form the physical reality that you know. You form your daily life and your work situation. You make it, you choose it! Now, when you truly understand this, you can change it for the better, but until you really understand the truth behind my words, then you will look for excuses. Now you may partially be taken in by the excuses—Ruburt may be partially taken in by the excuses, but I am not taken in by the excuses! And an inner part of your own consciousness is not taken in by the excuses either!

[Seth II:] Let the human characteristics by which you know me, fade into their proper perspective. Seth as you know him, is distant in my own past, a reality that I scarcely remember. He is a portion of my reality and as such he continually exists. He does now exist in his own reality. Yet to me, all that is past. I am not only what he will one day become in your terms I am far more—and in me your Seth, while remaining a developing identity on his own, is a distant memory in my consciousness. We sent him to you in your terms in some indescribably distant past. He entered your universe in a reality I find difficult to remember. He gave guidance to your kind for eons of your time. I do not sufficiently understand the experience in which you are presently involved, in your terms.
