“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The ego is a king with a very precarious crown, and you think you are what your ego is. It does not occur to you, however, that there are literally countless, countless probable egos within yourself, numberless abilities that could come to the foremost of your consciousness to be latched upon and used. You are unaware of these buried selves, these buried abilities, these buried creative functions and combinations, and yet in other layers of reality these come to the forefront and you allow these their play and the characteristics that you think of now so securely as your own, these are buried. But while they are buried, they are not unaware, they are in trance and you can become aware of them.

(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.
