“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now I am shortly going to close my session, but I have a few words for you. Now, as Ruburt told you, the Alpha I state is an adjacent state of consciousness, and when he has talked about it he has spoken about going below into other deeper layers, and also in his mind, he also has the idea of going above into other layers.

Now if you take any number of layers of consciousness and layer them in this manner, you should realize that each of them has adjacent levels of consciousness on either side, so to speak, so that it is not simply a matter of going up and down as if you were playing with scales. But you can also choose any number of adjacent areas, and there are interconnections between them. But since you must start somewhere, we will start with Alpha I and not with Alpha II. But you will learn to feel your own experience in reality in many other layers of consciousness. And I hope that in class, and alone, you will learn to communicate at various levels of consciousness. And I hope you learn to follow the changes in your own symbolisms that occur in these various stages.

And not of the man himself, but of a difference between the man and yourself. A difference in the behavior of two personalities that he holds dear. Now give us a moment here. He has been identifying with you as his male image. There are some adjacent personalities about your home which also serve as semi-images in this respect. When he is away from you, however, in his particular case, any characteristics that are not yours that he sees in his grandfather somehow become threatening. He wants to identify with both of you. He wants to think of you in some manner as one. Any individual differences between the two of you upset him. When the two of you are together, you and grandfather, there is no difficulty because the boy, in his own mind, interweaves these characteristics. When he is alone, however, with the older man, any characteristic of his that does not agree with yours becomes threatening to him.
