“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.
