“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane continues:) In a sense the present individual in any given life could be called a fragment of his entire entity, having all the properties of the original entity, though they remain latent or unused. The personality fragment in this sense can learn to develop what it has, rather than seek new powers. There are no new powers. The image that your friend saw was, as I said, a personality fragment of his own. It contained all the abilities of your friend, whether latent or not I do not know. This type of personality fragment is of different origin than your friend, who is himself a fragment of his own entity. We call this type a split personality fragment, or a personality image fragment. Usually it cannot operate on all levels of your physical plane.

Seldom, but sometimes, an individual may send a personality fragment image into another level of existence entirely, even without his own knowledge. This image personality fragment may even gain valuable experience on this other level. It will then return to the individual. Sometimes the individual is not even capable of assimilating this knowledge, or even recognizing his own returning personality image. The type of fragment your friend saw was something like this latter personality image, but so disconnected from your friend, and so absent-mindedly was it sent upon its travels, that its information was probably passed directly to the entity which your friend represents.

(Break at 9:50. By now I had developed writer’s cramp from taking the above down at nearly top speed. We were both by now more than a little surprised and amazed. Jane had delivered the entire monologue exactly as I have recorded it here. She made no mistakes in delivery, did not lose her way, make any changes or corrections of any kind, at all. She said that Seth would have outdistanced her had she insisted on keeping to the board. She had to recite it because the words sounded within her. Resume at 10:00.
