“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, I understand that you have had a visit from a friend of mine. I knew that he would give you a visit. He does not understand you as well as I do, but then he has not had my background. I can tell him, you see, “Well, I was there,” and he cannot say anything. But it is good for you to understand that personality can have other characteristics than those you presently ascribe to it. Your imagination, at least now, can lead you to think in terms of various dimensions personality can take ...for your intellect is highly limited in this regard. You see yourselves from the inside but through a glass darkly.

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 you can close your minds to such possibilities, or you can open your imagination and inner perceptions and try to perceive them. You can take a step out of the self that you think you are and the world that you think you inhabit.

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).

Now, my friend, Ruburt, has had some time this evening and so I am not going to keep you long, but I hope that these sessions do stretch your own concepts and I would like to have each of you catch yourselves peering into other realities. It is a good exercise. Even imagining concepts as physical objects will help you. I have just given you a very good clue in that last sentence. Think about that sentence and put it to use.
