“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Imagine the whole self as composed of some master tape. Your recorder has four channels. We will give our master tape numberless channels.

Each channel will represent a portion of the self, each one existing in a different dimension, and yet all part of the whole self, or the whole tape. You can see that it would be highly ridiculous to say that the material on your Mono One was any more or any less valid than your material on Mono Two. Mono One and Mono Two could be compared then to self one and two; self one and two here, however, in the context of the ego as self one and the subconscious as you know it as self two. We are not using Dunne’s terms here, in other words.

There is communication between them but they are not aware of it. The tape is the element common to all the channels. Now. The inner ego is the director as you know, but the whole self must know itself simultaneously. It is not enough that the inner ego knows what is going on. Ultimately therefore the inner ego must itself bring about comprehension on the parts of the various portions.

Each portion of the self must therefore become fully aware of all the other portions. We are not dealing however with anything as simple as a mechanical recorder, for our tapes, in analogy, are constantly changing.
