“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

([I asked Jane:] “Is Seth going to say anything about his form?”)

As I have mentioned earlier the senses change according to the plane of materialization. If you are speaking about my present form, I can be many forms. That is, within limits I can change my form, but in doing so I do not actually change my form so much as I choose to become part of something else.

My incipient form is a man’s form, if this is what you want to know, but it is not materialized in the same fashion as yours, that is as your form, and I can dematerialize it whenever I choose.

It is not however at all physical in your terms… And so here I suppose we will run into a block. The physical human form is extremely important to all entities, and they retain its idea shape for a long while. Again I will have more to say about the idea shape, which is somewhat like the physical genes and the blueprint, only on a different manifestation level. I believe, though I am not positive, that this human idea shape vanishes at some point and changes into another that is somehow more fitting and ideal. The entity in itself may only be a part of something else.

I suggest that we close this session for this evening. I have endeavored to fill in some previously mentioned material tonight. After our last arduous meeting you really needed a bit of relaxation. Nevertheless as you read this material you will see that it correlates with many other matters, and forms necessary connections which will be important in future discussions.

There is no such thing as division as far as the personality is concerned. Even a full-fledged fragment can turn into an entity in certain cases. There are no rules that hold any living thing down to one form or one kind of existence. And now, dear patient friends, I bid you a most fond good night.
