“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Once again the session was held in our back room, and Jane spoke sitting down and with her eyes closed. She does not wear her glasses at all during sessions now. Her voice was rather quiet, her delivery contained pauses as usual.)

(She was aware, she said, of a pulsation within while dictating. It was definite but not very strong. Jane likened it to the vibration one might feel through the floor of a house, say from traffic passing close by. At break, now, she checked to see if this was the effect she had sensed, but it did not seem to be, although traffic does pass our house rather heavily at times.

Yet as you can see, what it was when we spoke of it is still present in what it will by now have become. The ego, through its own nature and characteristics, attempts to limit such change, but it succeeds only in limiting itself by limiting its perceptions. It still must change, as is obvious. But it changes along certain lines, moving within certain patterns of perception which are characteristic of it.

If however we changed our arbitrary boundary points, then the minor selves at either end would now seem to be portions of other selves. For practical purposes it may be said that a self is composed of a gestalt of perception patterns, within which a fairly constant efficiency is maintained. This is the best definition I can give you at this time.

You may take a break now, and if you prefer I will then continue briefly.

The deeply and strongly dimensioned sphere I used as an analogy for an action, if you recall, for any portion of action; you can now indeed further imagine one entity being composed of such an action, with egos like many faces looking outward in all directions, and each perceiving vastly different fields of reality; looking inward and outward, backward and forward as it were, through and beyond. And yet each action, or entity, is a part of another, and is both within and without another. And none of it is meaningless, and yet in a basic manner all of it has the meaning that you give it.

I will now close a most excellent session.

(She reported that at the end of the session she received a strong emotional feeling from Seth. It was directed toward us and was to this effect: “Through action, see how I’m a part of you both now, and how foolish it is of you to worry about identities, when all identities are so bound together.”
