“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You are aware of the selves that sit in this room on a particular evening of a snowstorm with certain members of the class present, certain members of the class absent, and some new people here, but I am familiar with the inner portions of yourselves that you also know but that the egotistical self has hidden from you. And so I must think constantly to myself, oh, yes, our Lady from Florence thinks that she sits in this specific room at this specific hour and is wearing a blue outfit but I am aware of a Lady of Florence you see, in several different manifestations in various existences all occurring at once. And so I must remember that she is not aware of these, and when I speak to her I must use a designation that will make sense to her at this particular time.

You have been much given to thoughts of death this evening. Now, I have been a very lively corpse many times, but then, so have you all. And the inner portions of yourselves know this well. You have walked away from more graves than you can remember and will, indeed, many of you, walk away from more. Why then do you worry about justifying your own existence in this hour?

Now, when I come here to speak I focus my energy, not toward this room as a destination, for this room, in your terms, does not exist to me but in these terms, this room does not exist to you. You pretend to agree that the room exists and so we meet in no place of space or time. The true meetings that take place here have nothing to do with the room or the people that you think you are. You know that you hallucinate the room. You know that you are as much in trance here as you ever are when you are in psy-time or when you are making an effort to look inward. I simply want you to realize that if this life is a trance you can turn the direction of your consciousness in other ways and perceive greater realities that presently exist. That you can be aware of your own greater identity even as I am aware of it. That you sit within the miracle of yourselves and then ask for signs, it is your inner eyes I would open.

You have in the past, collectively or individually, to blame a God or a fate for the nature of your personal realities, those aspects, indeed, that you did not like. Avoid the temptation to use, instead, the word, whole-self, for the personality is given, again and this is not new material either, the greatest gift of all. You get exactly what you want to get. You create from nothing the experience that is your own, and if you do not like your experience then look within yourself and then you can change your experience, but realize also, that you are responsible for your joys and triumphs. And realize also, that the energy to create any of these realities comes from the inner self. The energy, but what you do with it is up to the individual personality.

The inner self, however, realizes that potentials are present that would not be present necessarily under other circumstances and that abilities can be brought to the foremost that could not be met under other circumstances. Abilities that can be a help, not only to the present personality, but even perhaps, to the society at large and to other individuals involved.
