“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There is a chameleonlike characteristic, a continuity, not in terms of successive moments, but a continuity in terms of design. Events are perceived in what would seem a most alien manner to the ego. The probabilities are traveled through, so to speak. Identity or continuity of the self is retained and strengthened in a series of simultaneous events, with value fulfillment foremost insofar as purposeful action is concerned.

The ego maintains much of its stability by looking backwards, so to speak, into its experience of its past, and finding something of itself there. Now the past may be an illusion, but it is not illusion to the ego. The portions of the self that deal in probabilities do not have such an experience with a past, to give them their feeling of identity or continuity.

The identity, the basic identity, of these portions of the self, are carried by what you could compare to the subconscious that you know. This is difficult, but listen: in these portions of the self it is the subconscious that carries the burden of identity, and it is the ego whose experiences are of a dreamlike, plastic nature. I use these terms to make the point clear. Do not let them confuse you. These portions of the self would seem topsy-turvy to you for this reason.
