“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It is true that some physical relaxation is of great benefit. It is true also that certain methods—and I have given some of these to you—are necessary to allow you to switch your focus of attention from physical reality to other realities. It is true, also, that it takes some training to use these other conscious portions of yourself. But remember that these other portions of your identity are portions of your identity—they are a part of you. Your perceptions can be vivid using them. There is no need for you to feel that any reincarnational information must come in a murky, shadowy way through vast areas of a self that you neither know nor understand. Memories of other childhoods can be fresh and bright. You can indeed feel a sense of recognition and familiarity.

([Class Member:] “You might, instead, sense or feel something?”)

Correct! The inner senses are the portion of you that can be used with confidence to perceive these other realities. Now you should reread the material on the inner senses and all of you should learn what they are and how to use them!

I appear to you—and I show myself to you—in certain ways—in familiar ways—so that you can sense the bonds between us that do exist. And yet, there are freedoms that have nothing to do with human consciousness as you understand it. There are roads that you will follow and you will look back on the selves that you know now as the first bare glimmerings of your birth.
