“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

To understand what the larger self is, you must try to imagine yourself in an environment that is not physical... not only without physical environment in terms of space and objects but without the intimate physical environment of the body that now you take so for granted. Many personalities do not operate in such a manner, and I am not speaking merely of survival personalities in your terms. I am speaking in terms of personality gestalts that simply do not operate through matter at all, in your terms, and whose components are of a psychological variety unknown to you.

Now when your read what I have said, you should have some good ideas for experiments of your own. Think in terms not only of other personalities, but of your own personality as it might operate in completely different environments both physical and nonphysical. As other personalities then have looked into this room, then imagine yourself looking into other environments. Open up your imaginations in this regard ...throw off the shells of habit ...all kinds of habits (pun to Gert, a former nun).

I bid you a good evening, but I want you to watch your conscious thoughts for a different reason this time. I’ve told you to watch them in the past to become aware of what you are thinking and what negative suggestions you are giving yourselves. But I want you now to watch them to catch your limiting intellectual concepts about your own reality and what is possible and what is not possible. For many of these ideas are so a part of your mental furniture and you do never change the furniture about. You do not even see it, it is so a part of your mental environment. So I would like you to listen inward to your own thoughts with this in mind. You will not open up if you are automatically closing down.
