(“What was the name of that river?”)

(“In what year was she killed? Can you tell us?”)

(“In what town or city in England did Dick die?”

(“What was Dick’s name at that time?”

(Jane dictates:) Of course. The images represented a culmination of many years experience of a negative trend. If you had accepted them you would end up as an exact replica, as you transferred into the images. If you had, then what creativity and constructiveness were still in you would have softened the faces of the images, really to an amazing degree. You would be recognizable to friends, but nevertheless changes would be noted. The remark would be made that perhaps you didn’t seem the same, and for good reason.

(“Seth, what was the significance of that episode for me?”

(Jane dictates:) However, you had no way of knowing what had happened, and your abilities at that time would not give any permanence to the image. Subconsciously, there is no limit, really, to what mind can accomplish.

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.

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.
