Many intuitions, hunches, and inner disturbances of this sort can be explained in like manner. It is always best to heed them, though the original wound to the psyche occurred to a previous personality.

Nevertheless at such times the old wounds are opened without the present personality’s understanding or awareness. The reminiscent stimulus charges storms in the subconscious, which themselves sometimes initiate fresh instances of unpleasantness.

You were not in this family, but were resting during this period. Your two present brothers were intertwined with your life on two other occasions, once as friends and once as cousins. Your present father secretly admires Loren’s apparent easy sociability, not knowing that Loren is forced to laugh and shout loudly, just as your father is more or less forced by his own personality to sit silent and sullen.

Personality fragment of your own. You were wishing for a friend to play with. You were jealous because your brother was staying so long with your father. Quite without knowing it, you materialized a personality fragment as playmate.

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.

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.

The powers of the seeds are to remain latent, but many times they bear fruit. In each life the new consciousness struggles to tie together the whole present personality, to use what is necessary from the subconscious for the good of the personality, and to keep submerged in the subconscious any knowledge that would threaten the dominancy of the present ego.
