“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now my relationship with you, brought up quite cleverly by our friend over here, is indeed a strange one since you do not relate to me as you do to each other. But you may tell our friend over here the effort I make precisely so that you do not set me up as a demigod and that you use your own abilities. Now if this were not the case you would be dealing with my friend, Seth II, all of the time so you had all better watch out.

Now some of this is, indeed, a translation or, again, you would be speaking with Seth II, yet what I am continues to exist. And the, I hope, the delightfully human egotistical characteristics that I show help calm your fears and show you that the self as you think of it, continues to exist. I have a reservoir of personality banks upon which I can draw, and as a teacher I use the one that is most effective in any given system of reality and this is the one that I use here. It is a portion of myself that is the most closely connected with earthly existence, and it is a self that I like very well, indeed.

([Ron:] “If we didn’t interpret ego-sensitive ourselves you are saying that Seth II could speak more directly and nonsymbolically to us?”)

(Seth II:)(Words lost)...observed then realize that we are highly interested in such experiments as Seth is conducting, and that as we observe you, so do you, though unconsciously, observe other realities in your sleep state. If our reality seems strange to you then yours seems strange to us. We move through systems such as yours faster than the speed of light, and so what I am saying is already a translation and, in your terms, a message left in the past of your time. Your own consciousness also travels faster than the speed of light, and big portions of you does understand, to some degree, the nature of our reality. At least it has an innate comprehension of the probabilities in which you exist. There are portions of your own identity, in other terms, that dwell in these probable systems that have not known physical reality and that come to observe those portions of itself that have so developed in that fashion. And so do we observe and does yourself serve as a translator in our behalf. Unfortunately, we do not communicate easily with the portion of you that can understand. You are not in communication with that portion of yourselves that is not physical, that was never physical and that will not know physical existence at all, and since you identify with the physical self then, indeed, we come to you in the guise of ghosts that you do not understand our forms that you cannot see. And yet, since we seeded the universe in which you have your present existence then do we observe, and do we watch, and do we have concern.

(Seth to Florence.) You set your own program.

You have all done more this evening than you realize you have done, and so I will now bid you a fond good evening. But remember there are differences in your own reality and in your own identity that are as great as the difference between my personality and that of Seth II. And there are journeys within yourselves that you can take that will lead you from selves that you know to selves with whom you are not yet acquainted. And so now I give you those blessings that are mine to give.
