“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Incidentally, so-called schizophrenia follows in many cases along these lines. As for the writing, it was by an (pause) unorganized, unformed, possible personality of Ruburt’s that merely took this opportunity to show itself and supersede a strong hand which has always dominated it.

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.

Many people are unable to endow fragments with such physical reality, and thus shove them more or less harmlessly away at arm’s length. It is as if in Ruburt’s great experience the other night that the dissociated part of the personality donned another identity and battled with Ruburt’s own for dominance.

Many so-called cases of possession can be laid to this alone. The dominant personality can be likened on your plane to the dominant entity. Please understand that I am using an analogy here. As the personality on your plane actually changes, expands and grows according to its potentialities, as it presents at various times varied images to the world, such as—if you’ll excuse me for using clichés—a smiling face, a sorrowful face, but is still basically the same personality, so on another level does the entity present at various times a varied appearance and speak in a different voice. As the smiling and the sorrowful face also express and expand the personality, so too do the various reincarnated personalities express and expand the entity as a whole.

Such people realize their deficiency, yet conversely because they do have a distorted but seemingly dominant “I” they are only all the more furious and confused. There is no basic unifying factor to give them consistency, and no unifying subconscious memories to give them true inner identity. This is one of the main reasons why they strike out at strongly integrated personalities, and why it is so easy for them to be catapulted by raw emotion into tragedies of this sort.

The entity never dominates or tries to dominate a previous personality. Sometimes these personalities also travel divergent ways for their own benefit and with the entity’s full consent.
