“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane has been reading Jung for the last few days. This afternoon she told me she thought Seth might talk about the self-conscious inner ego. As session time approached she had no idea of what her procedure would be—whether she would sit, stand, pace, open or close her eyes, etc. She was still worried also about the time element when her eyes were closed, and we agreed that I would ask for breaks if it seemed the monologues might carry past the customary half-hour limit.

Ruburt should learn much of advantage from the book by Jung which he is reading. And I would like to mention here that I am not Jane’s animus.

If the outer ego would be content to work on an equal basis with its inner counterpart, then many severe difficulties would be sidestepped.

The outer ego, being of later development, is jealous of its position and would have all knowledge at its fingertips. This is impossible. It cannot stand to have anything hidden, but the very mechanism of its own behavior is hidden from itself, and it knows only the feel of its own surfaces.

(Jane’s definition of Jung’s animus is the male characteristics incorporated in the female subconsciously. Anima would be the female characteristics subconsciously incorporated in the male.

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.
