“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Jane’s animus is indeed quite a different sort of chap from myself, much more omnipotent to Jane’s subconscious. I will indeed speak concerning the inner ego, which is the organizing principle within the subconscious, but which looks into other worlds; toward worlds in which it has its origin, and does not have awareness of itself or possess self-consciousness within the physical universe. Its attention and focus is, rather, directed elsewhere, so that it appears to be dormant. But it is not.

In many respects it is a reflector, the surface of the self looking outward. While this is necessary, the whole remainder of the self could not be left to an organizer or caretaker who did not focus his attentions within the depths but sat, as it were, on the front porch of the house, leaving the inner workings unattended. The outer ego does not want to meet the inner ego. The outer ego does not want to admit the existence of the inner ego. As the eye cannot see its own pupil without a mirror, so the outer ego could not even see itself, were it not that the inner ego hides in the depths of all reflections.

At death on your plane the ego merely changes the focus of its awareness. We have come through very well this evening, and I will here end our session. My fondest wishes to you both. We will take up the question of transubstantiation, as asked by our friend, at a not distant date.
