“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In order to gain knowledge, in order to discover your reincarnation realities, you must not necessarily block out the conscious mind with which you are familiar and turn to sleep. Instead, you see, it is like turning off one channel and turning on another channel.

You are not expected to become unconscious. There is no need for you to feel that when you block out one conscious mind, there is only blankness—for you have other conscious minds. There are other conscious portions of your own personality. We simply want you to look out other windows. The shades are pulled down now over these other windows (indicating the particular windows in the room). We simply want you to snap the shade open and look out. This can be a joyful and an alert experience. It does not need to have to do with sleep and relaxation as it has been spoken of in your recording. That recording, to some extent, maligns the subconscious and the inner self.

When you turn off what you think of as your conscious mind, then another conscious mind clicks into focus. You have more than one conscious mind. You can experience them only one at a time, although they exist simultaneously. When you cease using the conscious mind that you know, there is another one that will take over—you do not sink into a limbo. You are used to thinking of hypnosis in this following manner: You seem to think, most of you, that the conscious mind is blocked out, and then what follows is a murky and a shadowy version of the normal conscious mind—that the subconscious, for example, deals with material that you cannot understand consciously.
