“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.

(Jane now paused, waved a hand and frowned. She was still sitting down, and had indeed slid quite a ways down in the chair; with her feet up on the register, she was actually very nearly in a prone position as she spoke. Her eyes were closed.)

Scientists have glimpsed the complications of the human body. They have scarcely glimpsed the complicated realities of the mind. If it were understood that the areas of the subconscious are indeed populated by many and various subpersonalities, then they would not wonder that the human body is sometimes so besieged with ailments, or that the dominant personality so often appears in contradictory terms.
