“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

To say I am energy is no lie. It is actually truer than many designations that would sound more authentic and complicated. I am a personality in essence-energy form. This in no way implies that I am a spirit, nor does it imply that I am some weird sort of granddaddy longlegs of science fiction. What I am is difficult to explain because of the limits set not only by your own knowledge but by the present method of our communications.

It is even difficult for me to answer that, since you are partly on the track and partly way off. The emotional aspect of course would be the personality-essence. However it also has a structure that is very simple, but to you would appear complicated to the extreme. This is because of your present habit of thinking in word patterns rather than energy transferral complexes.

I do not bring about the trance state in the manner of which you are speaking. Ruburt switches another channel on, through which my essence can enter more readily. There is the problem here of my entry also into your conscious minds. This does certainly involve a looking inward on Ruburt’s part, but it is not self-hypnosis in the terms usually spoken of, merely a focusing upon an objective inner stimulus in much the same manner that you focus upon an outside camouflage stimulus.
