“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

On this plane you must work within certain limits. Man simply cannot use all his abilities on the earthly plane indiscriminately. Nevertheless, occasionally a personality will astound itself by such an image production as the one you met in the park. Usually this particular type of image production vanishes by the time the personality reaches adulthood. In childhood, however, such occurrences are frequent.

Often when the child cries about a bogeyman, what he has seen is such an image production or fibrous projection, formed by vivid desire or fear on the part of the subconscious. These powers to project realities of this sort, or pseudorealities of this sort, are meant to be suspended for all intents and purposes during the earth plane. The entity, however, is not so bound. Naturally the subconscious is always linked with the entity, and merely attempts in these cases to imitate the powers of the entity itself. And it does have these powers, although they are usually latent.

The entity, after all, does just this in creating the various personalities. What are they but projections or fragments from the entity itself? What the entity does however it does consciously and with purpose, since it is by definition beneath consciousness, and without consciousness there is no purpose.

It is obvious, however, that all these powers of the entity cannot be vested in its various personalities. The consciousness of a part of the whole could not bear the weight of the consciousness of the whole. Fragment personalities could not possibly contain the whole, but they do contain the seeds of the whole.
