This is an interesting hypothesis. In fact, Seth speaks about multidimensional art in his book. But Seth does more than write books. He is a fully developed personality with a variety of interests: writing, teaching, helping others. His sense of humor is quite individualistic and unlike mine. He is shrewd; in his manner more earthy than ethereal. He knows how to explain complex theories simply, in person-to-person contact. Perhaps more important, he is able to relate these ideas to ordinary living.

Rob and I don’t refer to Seth as a spirit; we dislike the connotations of the term. Actually what we object to is the conventional idea of a spirit, which is an extension of quite limited ideas of human personality, only projected more or less intact into an afterlife. You can say that Seth is a dramatization of the unconscious or an independent personality. Personally, I don’t see why the statements have to be contradictory. Seth may be a dramatization playing a very real role — explaining his greater reality in the only terms we can understand. This is my opinion at this time.

This book was written by a personality called Seth, who speaks of himself as an “energy personality essence” no longer focused in physical form. He has been speaking through me for over seven years now, in twice weekly trance sessions.

In my opinion, Seth has written a book that is a classic of its kind. After referring to him cautiously as “a personality,” I feel bound to add that Seth is an astute philosopher and psychologist, deeply knowledgeable in the ways of human personality, and well aware of the triumph and plight of human consciousness.

In a book on reincarnation, I hope to have each of my previous personalities speak for themselves, for they should tell their own story. You should understand, therefore, that those personalities still exist and are independent. While what I am once seemed to be contained within those personalities, I was but the seed for them. In your terms, I can remember who I was; in greater terms, however, those personalities should speak for themselves.

A GOODBYE AND AN INTRODUCTION: ASPECTS OF
MULTIDIMENSIONAL PERSONALITY
AS VIEWED THROUGH MY OWN EXPERIENCE

Now: We will begin the next chapter, and we will call it: “A Good-bye and an Introduction: Aspects of Multidimensional Personality as Viewed Through My Own Experience.”

[...] To put it bluntly (and humorously) I knew that someone had the ball, but I was not certain of the person. [...]

My own “previous” personalities are not dissolved into me any more than your “past” personalities. [...] Your “future” personalities are as real as your past ones. [...]

[...] The aspects of your personality as you presently understand them will be retained. [...]

(10:41.) Personality changes whether it is within a body or outside of it, so you will change after death as you change before it. [...]

[...] The “personality” who originated the paragraphs you have just read is such a one.

As mentioned, there is the same kind of connection between that personality and myself as the one that exists between Ruburt and myself. [...]

(9:18.) My own reincarnational personalities, probable selves, and even Seth Two exist within me now, as I exist within them. [...]

[...] In the same way, Ruburt’s personality is expanded through relationship with me, and I also gain through the experience, as even the best of teachers learns from each dimension of activity.

[...] The very nature of this book, the method of its creation and delivery, in themselves should clearly point out the fact that human personality has far more abilities than those usually ascribed to it. By now you should understand that all personalities are not physically materialized. As this book was conceived and written by a nonphysical personality, and then made physical, so do each of you have access to greater abilities and methods of communication than those usually accepted.

The “you” who is capable of such expansion must be a far more creative and multidimensional personality than you earlier imagined. [...]

Peter three times denied the Lord (Matthew 26), saying he did not know him, because he recognized that that person was not Christ.
