“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. What I am trying to do is to awaken within each of you knowledge, intuition, abilities that are a portion of your entire personality. Now, once these are awakened, you can use them and they become a part of the physical self that you know. They become real to you. These abilities will help you solve other problems. You are being changed in this class and through your own experiences in that you are learning and you are expanding your idea of reality and of consciousness. Each small advance quickens other advances within you and each knowledge leads to other knowledge. Sometimes you are on a plateau and then you climb from the plateau to new awareness. Sometimes your greatest moments of understanding come to you in the dream state. Then, in the morning, it seems to you that they are fresh and new for you do not recall their origin.

I have told you and I have told each of you here—that you are basically no different than I am. You are a consciousness in your time—dwelling within flesh. Presently, I have no body with which to manipulate in your physical system. And yet, regardless of that fact, each of you knows me well—you feel this vitality. And as I have said time and time again—such demonstrations should show you, since they are coming through Ruburt, that this energy is a portion of the energy that is your own—you have as much energy as I have—you have as much energy available to you as Ruburt has available to him. You each have as much energy within each of you as is being shown now in this room. My message is to use your own energy—to open yourself so that it can be known through you. The answers that you want reside within you. They will sweep out as easily and as clearly as air... if you let them! I repeat again: physically, Ruburt dwells within the same world as each of you. He has access to no more energy than you each possess! Then use your own energy! When you finally feel what I am saying, then you will ride above your own energy!

The whole self is involved not only in this reality but in other realities. The whole self sends a portion of itself into various realities. These portions of the whole self are to learn to materialize as best they can the strength and energy as they know it in whatever camouflage they find themselves. The whole self gives you, therefore, a responsibility—and it leaves it mainly up to you.

Now. My prescription immediately is to think in terms of motion. Do not say again, “I think in terms of immobility.” Instead, immediately change your imaginative image of yourself. You must and you can do this. You must first change your image in your imagination and act upon it immediately. You must refuse, and absolutely refuse, to accept any more excuses from this superficial portion of yourself. You must imagine that within yourself—for this is the truth—there is a stronger and more powerful self, a larger self.

And when the “little” self says, “I am afraid and I will make excuses,” you must imagine the larger self saying, “I am strong. I will not allow the smaller self to make excuses. There is no need for them.” You must identify with the larger portion of your self.

Indeed in joy, for I play at being Seth, in joy, for I am many others as you are many others. And as I have said often, the portion of me that you know in this room is a certain portion of my personality from those personality banks that are mine. It is my present currency with you all; the picture that I now portray.

This is not original with me, but you cannot deny one feeling without cutting off all feeling to some extent. You cannot cut off one portion of yourself without cutting off the channels to the whole self to some extent.
