“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I was going to suggest, for practice, that you yourselves find out from the pendulum. I would like you to become familiar with the experience of conversing with this portion of your own personality. I would like you to become intimately aware of this not-so-silent partner.

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.

For a portion of the self that is relatively so powerless, this is quite presumptive. It is obviously no coincidence that almost the entire survival of the organism is held under the responsibility of the subconscious. To be somewhat prosaic here, it is nevertheless true that the whole efficiency of the personality can be improved if the inclinations of the subconscious are taken into consideration, in the manner of clothes and accessories and living surroundings in general. The personality is simply not pulling against itself so much.

The whole self of which Ruburt is a part is an extremely elastic one. The various portions of this whole self reach outward and inward with much more resilience than most. Therefore this whole self surrounds many more moment points simultaneously, using one moment point in particular as a reference or entry point.

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.

Translations, and faithful ones, of my communications are constantly made by a certain portion of his inner self. Nor is your capacity here a passive one. Your psychic energies help him make these translations. At times you join together to enlarge your psychic environment, allowing me to come within its limits.
