“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You are not aware of your experiences in their entirety, for you experience events in a consecutive manner. You are therefore aware of your dreams only in a consecutive manner. You are hardly familiar with all of the dream experiences of your dreaming self, and barely familiar with any of their implications. The dreaming self is to some considerable degree conscious of the self which we shall here term the probable self. The probable self is somewhat like a twin self to the dreaming personality, for neither the experiences of the dreaming self nor the probable self occur within the complete radius of physical reality.

There is a constant give and take between the probable self and the dreaming self, for much data is received, particularly by the dreaming personality from the probable self, or the self that experiences what the ego would term probable events.

It will take us many years before all of this information on this particular subject is clear. You must take it for granted also, you see, that this probable self has operated in each incarnation, in each materialization of the whole personality, and has therefore at its command literally millions of probable situations and conditions upon which to make value judgments.

It must be recognized also that these portions of the self exist in each incarnation. In the materialization of personality through various incarnations, only the ego and the layers of the personal subconscious adopt new characteristics. The other layers of the self retain their past experiences, identity and knowledge.

(Break at 10:25. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her eyes had remained closed throughout both experiments. She said she had tried to block out all personal associations in connection with the envelope data.

(I read the data to her before she opened the envelope. Jane pointed out three instances in it where she had personal associations with Seth’s data, and as it turned out all three would have been in error had she voiced them.

(“An initiation, and a bringing together of fragments.” We thought this of course a reference to Linda’s marriage. The use of the word fragments here, by Seth, led us to think that reincarnational motives might be involved in the marriage; but I did not think to quiz Seth about this when he resumed. In the very early sessions Seth began to use fragment as a reference to each physical personality manifested by the entity.

(“Too many too soon. November six three”, are very accurate references to Linda, but are here not explained because of personal reasons on her part. The data are available however to anyone making a study of these experiments. The numbers refer to November 1963; during this month Linda was involved in a strong emotional experience that was unique for her.

(“A connection with something twice” is another quite accurate reference by Seth to personal matters involving Linda, and data on this are withheld here for the same reason announced above. The three pieces of data that are not explained in this experiment are the best, incidentally, that Seth gave in connection with the object.
