“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

If you consider the conscious mind that you know as one door, this is the door through which you usually walk. You stand at the threshold of this door and look into physical reality. But there are other doors—you have other conscious selves. These conscious selves are like windows that belong to your entire identity. When you look from one window, you look out into physical reality. When you look out through other windows, you look into other realities.

Other portions of your consciousness may have as much difficulty seeing through the windows as you do. You will find yourself, for example, looking through many of these windows at the same time. And in these windows you may view other portions of yourself. These portions may seem objective—distant from you—and different. You may seem to be viewing strangers. The viewpoint is entirely different form the viewpoint of any other figures, however. Do you follow me?

Pretend, pretend that yourself...your whole identity, is a tape, such as being used here, but in stereophonic. Now, pretend that you have eight channels on this fantastic machine. Now, the whole self is composed, to use this analogy, of the entire eight channels. Usually, however, you can only play one channel at a time. The whole self, however, is aware of the entire eight channels and is able to keep track of them. The conscious mind as you know it is only one note on the first channel, not even the entire channel. You can learn methods that will enable you to tune in on these other channels. These other channels are all conscious portions of your own entire identity. They may or may not be aware of you as one small note on the first channel. They must learn to tune in, but many of them have already learned this knowledge and it is part of their own training.

What I want you to realize is that there is one entire fully alert and aware identity of which you are a part. As long as you are used to looking in only one direction, you will not be aware of this. But when you look, as with the flashlight, have faith that you will see.
