“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Yes, but observor should remain silent. No one should sit in who is not of same mind yet.

A board is neutral, messages in own mind are not. She is cooperating and your two attitudes give excellent ballance. She will grow used to it. Individual attitudes change with various approaches, and you will try other ways also.

(“Seth, was this image conscious of Bill’s presence?”)

In some submerged manner all fragments of a personality exist within an entity, with their own individual consciousenesses. (Jane dictates:) They are not aware of the entity itself. When Bill saw the image and recognized its prescence, the fragment itself seemed to have a dream. As Bill saw and did not recognize, the fragment saw and did not recognize.

(Jane did remember it, beginning with the word superego, but she was receiving the answer very quickly at that point; also she thought she might be consciously tinkering with the message by using such a word as superego.

The entity operates its fragments in what you would call a subconscious manner, that is, without conscious direction. (Jane dictates:) The entity gives the fragment independent life, then the entity more or less forgets them. When a momentary lapse of control happens they both come face to face. It’s as impossible for the entity to control fragment personalities as for the conscious mind to be aware, or control its own heartbeat. In this case the image concerned was a past fragment.

You can try it. However, I like you to work with me consciously.
