“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I would add that when I realized I was receiving information for the first time, on a level below that of alarm, I encouraged this flow of data. I believe my perception then sharpened to some degree, and it was at this moment that I saw so clearly the minutest detail of the eyes, the shadow below the lids, the individual lashes, etc. I would say that at this moment of suspended judgment, before the ego exerted its authority, I was perfectly willing to receive this data and to examine it.

You could just as well have tuned in, so to speak, on any one of the numberless other such systems. The individual within this particular other system, however, has a different sort of psychological makeup than your own. He is not as capable of intense concentration within as large a perspective as that possessed by your ego.

We have spoken, saying that the ego has a relatively small but intense focus. Your friend however has an even smaller specific field of attention, to yourway of thinking. The concentration however and the focus is much more intense than that with which you are familiar.

Such encounters also occur during waking hours, but the ego is not aware of them. I will have some comments later in the session that may enable you to become more aware of other realities beside your own, and also some advice that will enable you to operate within your own system more effectively.

The entity has awareness of these ten portions of itself. Consciously however no one of the ten personalities is aware of the others, nor of the entity. Each of the ten egos travels along an egotistical time of successive moments. We understand that subconsciously much more knowledge is available, but not to the ego as a rule.

What Ruburt sensed however was somewhat legitimate. When you allow disturbances to upset you, then you become concentrated so deeply within ego time that you close off those very abilities that you need to help you.

Again, we come to what is truly practical, as opposed to what the ego may think is practical at any given time.
