“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The whole self slowly regains knowledge of its own reincarnations, and learns of its relationship to its own entity. I have said that a personality may become another entity. There is no rule against it. It is a matter of inherent strength and ability and also of desire. Many personalities upon receiving knowledge of their entity prefer to remain part of it, though they are always independent individualities within the whole entity, as even the cells of your physical bodies are part of the whole self. They greet the entity as a son greets his father. There is no coercion involved here, and this is an important point.

You as a physical being are also dependent upon many forces that you do not understand, so there is no contradiction in saying that the cells are individual and independent, and yet dependent upon stronger organization. There is no coercion put upon the cells, because each cell is what it is because of its innate ability and strength. Nor is there any coercion as far as a personality is concerned, which is a part of an entity. There are laws of development, which are the only real laws, and which govern such matters. Or really, such matters govern themselves. When capabilities grow there are ways of further growth which become open.

On many other planes the vitality expresses itself in ways incomprehensible to you and at this point to me. The personality-entity concept involves only one main type process involving many planes and plane groups. But this is not all that is or exists. It is extremely possible that many in the personality-existence grouping have been involved within other completely different plane groupings in some inconceivable past.

Later I will attempt to show you where the boundaries are, though (Jane laughed) there really are no boundaries, that form a variety of such planes into a sphere of relation in which to some extent cause and effect operates as you understand it. Beyond that for a long time there is no need for me to go any more deeply. I will speak of the entity, the personalities, the reincarnations, the diverse fragment groupings, the planes with which you are either familiar with or can understand, and ultimately try to deal with your question, implied if not spoken, as to where entities came from to begin with.
