“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now I come to you often with playful characteristics—like a benign bishop who comes for a cup of tea and discusses realities with you. I come complete with characteristics that you can understand. I come complete with human characteristics to which you can relate and you can smile usually when I am here and smile when I am gone. But you must understand that they are the characteristics that I show you—there are other realities of personality and identity that are mine—just as there are other realities within your own personalities and you cannot laugh these away. You are but symbols of yourselves. I can tell you how to meet your own identities, and I have told you, but no one can make you look into yourselves. I can look within you and beyond you into the selves that you really are. I can see your potentials and your abilities and your promise—and you could see your own potentials and promise if you would open your inner eyes, if you would look within yourselves.

The other personality with which you are familiar, which speaks through Ruburt, that personality seems very remote from you. It seems very different from me. This represents the distance that you have to travel—the inward distance. The vastness of the vision is within you, the road is within yourself, the truths are within yourself.

We have been playing games for you, using pretty colors. The pretty colors that we have used have been good, they have caught your attention—as my personality captures your attention. But reality is far more than the children’s blocks and the houses that they build in kindergarten.

Now, I do not want any of you drifting. You cannot afford to drift. You cannot afford to come here and see me as a fine old fellow either. For these characteristics by which you know me are but one portion of my personality and my reality. And I come to you from distances that you cannot evaluate.
