The pendulum is an excellent manner for reaching the personal layers of the subconscious. Unless a trance state is adopted, it is much less effective as a manner of reaching those layers that lie, so to speak, beneath the personal subconscious. For practical purposes it is excellent policy to check often with the personal subconscious through use of the pendulum.

This experience will be most beneficial. It will enable your present personalities to operate in a much more enjoyable esthetic, psychic and practically efficient manner. As you realize, I have little to do with the personal layer of Ruburt’s subconscious. It is merely something through which I pass.

I have explained through which layer of the subconscious I come, but my origin has nothing to do with any portion of Ruburt’s subconscious, not even those vast areas beneath the personal subconscious.

Such easy communication with the subconscious will also allow the subconscious to be more flexible, in allowing various information through to the ego from the deeper layers of the whole self. As a further benefit there will be increased joy, and a feeling of oneness with the self, and with reality in general.

I can then, therefore, enter the limits of your psychic comprehension. This is a very simplified version, but I must, so to speak, therefore journey through the various areas of Ruburt’s whole self, or inner self, until I reach a point where entry into your consciousness is possible. This happens to be the third undifferentiated layer of Ruburt’s subconscious.

(Seth devoted the 88th session to the layers of the subconscious, especially Jane’s third undifferentiated layer. He discussed his source and structure to at least some degree in many sessions, among them the 128th, the 24th, etc.)

I am usually able to escape the personal subconscious area in general. However, as you know I speak only for convenience, for there are no real barriers to separate these layers. They are simultaneous areas, that merge one into the other. For an analogy you may say that upon some occasions, though few, Ruburt’s personal subconscious layer expands so that I must travel through portions of it, and at other times it contracts and bothers me not at all.
