“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You are tapping the energy of your being, the inner self, with which you have not been familiar. You are picking up information, often of which you conscious self is not aware. But it is part of your own heritage, a part of your being. And it is a first step and a good step. It is an unfolding. And if you were more natural about it, it would come more easily. It is as natural to you as the air.

([Gert:] “When I do this mirror trance, I’m getting an image on the wall behind me of my ‘Golden Boy.’ Is that a projection of my inner self?”)

([Sue:] “The creation of individual symbols of self is what Dave Zale did in that incident, wasn’t it?”)

... (Words lost) far as the inner self is concerned, for you must translate what you receive. You are more than you think you are. You are each more than you think you are. Then why should it amaze you that you are beginning to use and recognize some of the information that belongs to your entire identity? Because you give yourselves certain names does not mean that you are not one self. You are given names as children in this life, and so you give names to other portions of yourselves as they seem to become born within your psyche. And yet, this is all a portion of your own identity.  It is you. It is the voice that speaks within you, whether or not you listen, the information that is a heritage of your own, that is a part of yourself, that has always been with you. It is the self that was familiar to you before you learned to speak. The messages, therefore, come, as far as class is concerned, to this time from the entire entity, the inner identity, whatever word you want to use or coin. The innermost portions of yourself that is indeed a part of all energy, must be sifted through the self that you now recognize, and your job is to learn how to receive the information and how to open and use the inner self. But these are all evidences in your own experience of the multidimensionality of your own personality. You have the evidence within you.

Now, all of this effort, in your terms, will be quite valuable to you in this existence, as well as in others, in your terms. But the potential is within you now, and the source of your knowledge is indeed infinite. It is only you who have to learn how to draw upon it and use it. And in your terms it will seem to appear at different stages. It will seem to... get better. You will seem to draw upon a greater source as you learn to use your own abilities. And in all cases, the ego that you know develops and learns, and this alters the nature of the self that you are now, and it changes the characteristics of the ego as you presently think of it.
