“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Within the self that you know there are countless combinations of selves that you do not admit, and in other layers of probable realities these selves have their say and live out their potential. They are sleeping within you in this reality, but in those realities you are sleeping within them as latent potential.

(To Sue.) Within you, for example, and everyone in the room, there is an unlimited amount of what you would call identity. Now all you do when you have an identity and focus on it, is grab out of your own bank of potentials a group of potentials and say, “these are the ones I will settle upon for now, and these I will call my identity, and so I will use these and I will ignore anything else.” But another portion of the self says, “ah hah, these potentials are not used, they are freewheeling and I will adapt these and these will be those potentials with which I will work.” There are no potentials within you that are not being realized and no creative abilities that are not being used.

If there is any sense of divorce between you and All That Is it is only yourself that has done the divorcing and it is quite an artificial divorce. You cannot stand apart from All That Is and examine it. You are a part of it. You can wonder about the nature of existence and about your own purpose but you cannot deny either, since you are alive and who wonders then about the nature of reality and your own purpose. Who is the self that wonders and where does it derive its meaning and its energy. The answers, basically, are not to be found by listening to me, although I can help you, the answers are to be found by listening to the inner voice within yourself. Your heartbeat has more to tell you than any philosopher’s word if you once listen to them and feel what they say. There is no reality within you that you do not understand if you open yourself to the feeling and the understanding.
