“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, each event of which you are aware is already a translation of an inner event, a psychic or mental event that is perceived by the soul directly, but translated by the physically oriented portions of the self into physical sense terms.

(9:35.) Now this particular level of consciousness, occurring in the sleep state, has not been pinpointed by your scientists. During it, energy is generated that makes the dream state itself possible. It is true that dreams allow the physically oriented self to digest current experience, but it is also true that the experience is then returned to its initial components. It breaks apart, so to speak. Portions of it are retained as “past” physical sense data, but the whole experience returns to its initial direct state.

Now, the soul is never diminished, nor basically are any portions of the self.

It regenerates all other portions of itself, and gives you the identity that is your own. And when it should be asked, “Who are you?” it would simply answer, “I am I,” and be answering for you also.
