“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The fact that you slipped so easily into this frame should remind you of abilities that you had at one time. Then, you misused them. But without their previous experience you could not have entered such a state so quickly, with so little knowledge and preparation. When I mentioned homework I was not thinking of anything so strenuous, or certainly suggesting anything that could be so dangerous to you at the present time.

That state which you achieved could be likened to my state, except that I am fully conscious and able to use the abilities inherent in it. As Joseph supposes it may well have been possible for you to have levitated had he so suggested it, and he used extremely good judgment in restraining from such a suggestion.

In your York Beach experience had you not been able through your peculiar creative abilities to form those images outside of yourselves, and so endow them with a physical reality, you might very well have instead turned yourself into schizophrenic personalities. Even your psychologists know that the schizoid is at least temporarily two personalities, a primary or dominant personality and an inferior one.

In dreaming, such a dissociated state as Ruburt reached is of course the rule, only here the ability is used to form the dream images. But these dream images work for the entity as a whole and serve as a means for the various personalities to communicate. That is, in many cases for the previous incarnated personalities to correspond with the present personality. It is a means of acquainting the present personality with its past and also of reminding it of its goals, without disturbing that blatant awake ego.

Your vision experience is coming along well, Joseph. You can expect it to enlarge, grow and mature, as Ruburt’s ability has already shown astounding progress. I hesitate to go into Jane’s Walter Zeh experience at this time. Her conscious ego sets up barriers, and in all cases she must willingly permit material to come through. Suffice it to say that she got rid of some previous responsibilities and paid off an old debt.
