“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Then we will let  you take my place. Now, to some extent, what you say is true and yet much of this is not of my doing. The voice mechanism, unfortunately, is something that we must work with and to get my own personality across through the female image and vocal chords, certain adjustments must be made. Beyond this, however, as I believe I mentioned in a few classes, it is not out of the inner sense of my invisible heart but out of the depths of your own psychology that you make me into the image of a wise old man and project upon me authority images that lurk in your own mind. I have always tried to keep you from making this error and always sought to release from within yourselves your own abilities. And told you that knowledge must be directly experienced. You will not learn nearly as much from me as you will through traveling through your own inner self and searching into the reality of yourself for other realities that are also there of which your are unaware. Now my voice is loud but the voice of the inner self is very still and you must be quiet to hear it and so from the loudness of my voice let your self run inward into that silence that is very active.

(Bobby remarked that we impose our projections on Seth.)

I remain spontaneous and alive and do not allow myself to be deadened by your projections upon me. Now continue.

You project but your projections are real only to you and do not affect me. Continue.

(To Ned.) And sometimes in your disappearing acts you have gone three steps. ... (Words lost) different than before. A third projection, if that is the word you want to use. And a greater absence.
