“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.

(To Bette.) So do not turn aside from that endeavor, and again do not judge the information that you get in the terms in which you are used to judging it. There is a validity to the information that you received, and accept that validity. Accept it, and realize that the nature of its validity will come to you. Do not insist it must necessarily mean that this is completely your imagination, or hogwash, or that it is the God’s truth on the other hand, and that there is nothing but an abyss between. You have picked up legitimate information. You have perceived and to some extent had the sensations of the personality that was Dolly Madison. Your Jason tried to give you this information in the clearest way that he could. But because you insist it must be one thing or another, legitimate reincarnational information or complete fantasy, there was no way he could give you this information clearly, except in the way that he gave it to you. So do not thrust it aside and do not blame your Jason or yourself, but be thankful for what you have, which is valid information. You have a close affinity with that personality and there were some strong connections between you and that personality, and it is for this reason that you were able to pick up the sensations and emotions so strongly. There is still, however, some conscious control and questioning on your part that inhibit the details that you receive so that they must be given in a certain fashion, and this is also understandable and a part of your progress. So do not throw out the baby with the wash water. It is clean, good water, and I see we are going to have a sphinx in class, and that is something new.

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.
