“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It floundered like a wet rag in a foul wind. This all ties in with the personality fragments which we discussed earlier. In like manner the personality is divided, one part conscious of the primary self and another disconnected and waiting formation into something new. On a subconscious basis this is exactly how you both created the images at York Beach, the difference being that the personality split occurred on the subconscious level.

An excellent question. Schizophrenia is caused by a personality fragment that is broken off, so to speak, from the primary acting personality, operating often in direct opposition to the primary personality, but in any case operating as a secondary personality.

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.

Your cat is indeed a fragment, and he does sense me at times.

(Seth now referred to a fragment of a vision I had experienced the day before. I had been doing some painting when once again I seemed to see my brother Loren, as a monk in a previous life, wearing his old red robe, fall face down with outstretched arms upon the same dusty red road upon which I had seen him before. This was a very brief vision, and the first that had popped to mind consciously while I was doing something else.)

Oswald was always a personality fragment, as all psychopaths are. As fragments of a personality break off in the manner that I explained for schizophrenics, so in some cases part of an entity reincarnates before it should, does not carry its full mental gene blueprint, and therefore causes trouble and confusion. It is as though one of the wild images of a nightmare emerged with full physical power into the world of the day.

There are various types of dreams and dream fragments. I will follow this through also later, since in these beginning sessions I am giving you what may be considered a broad outline to be filled in. These dissociated states often occur in sleep, an excellent time since the ego is quieted. At such times it is extremely possible for present personalities to be visited by others such as myself, but only on the bidding of the entity itself.

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.
