“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. As I have told you in the past, the individual does indeed survive physical death, but there is a reorganization of psychological elements that compose the personality. The personality, even as you know it, is never static, always changing, and even the ego is not the same from one day to the next.

It is a great mistake to imagine that the human being has but one ego, however. The ego represents merely any given pattern of characteristics, psychological characteristics, that happen to be dominant at any given time. If any kind of a thorough investigation were to be carried on, it would become apparent that during one lifetime any given individual will display several, sometimes quite different, egos at various times, each one quite honestly seeing itself as the permanent I.

These levels of the self have known self-consciousness in other existences, before the present one. But they cannot be allowed to remain completely dormant, but must continually reassert their characteristics and abilities.

In my communications to you, I speak as my whole self, and not on the part of any one of the egos which have been dominant in other existences. If I had known either of you as contemporaries within your physical time in your present existence, then after death I would have assumed, once again, the dominant ego by which you had known me. I am not tied to physical existence by any strong emotional bonds however, and my personality structure is more advanced than is usual for communicators from other systems.

There have been a variety of circumstances lately, with which Dr. Instream is not pleased. One having to do with a man with a mustache, and a change of locations.

I have the impression of a solid-appearing rectangular shape, in the center of a larger white object. The smaller one made up of small shapes which have been interpreted as script.

(“The number four in the center of a square.” We made no connection here, although Seth points out an interesting one, somewhat distorted, after break.

(“Connection with a dog.” I drew a blank here. Jane offered a connection perhaps twice removed from the object. Leonard Yaudes has a girlfriend who has a dog; occasionally they leave the dog in Leonard’s apartment when they go out on a date. The connection would be that the object came from Leonard’s apartment. It is a weak one, in that the girl in question is not the girl who was present in the apartment on November 20,1965, when Jane and I were given the object. Jane didn’t know whether her interpretation was correct.

(“I have the impression of a solid-appearing rectangular shape, in the center of a larger white object. The smaller one made up of small shapes which have been interpreted as script.” As stated, by script Jane meant print, or type. Jane said this is another reference to the object.
