“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The above passage refers to tests Jane uses on herself. Sometimes these involve Dr. Rhine’s Zener cards, sometimes objects sealed in envelopes, etc. Jane has not really extended herself in such tests, mostly due to a lack of time. She is interested in learning what other abilities she may have, however, outside of these sessions.)

There are levels of which we have not yet spoken. The repository of potentiality however is contained within those layers that are not conscious. As a rule the ego chooses those elements from this repository which it feels will be most beneficial in dealing with physical reality.

Ego concern is a very jealous concern, and it is directly connected to the personality’s concept of survival necessities within the physical universe. The ego that is overly fearful for survival will allow little potential to show itself unless that potential is directly connected with physical survival. Actually what happens here is that the ego sells the personality short, out of fear, and denies those very abilities that are needed, and in practical terms.
