“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There was some question in the article about long-term and short-term memory. Now basically the original intensity of the charge determines its duration in your time structure. The intensity of particular charges can completely reorganize the personality structure through changes in the RNA formations. (Long pause at 9:10.) Previous life memories, existing electronically and magnetically, may carry such intense charge that they superimpose themselves in the present physical structure, and form memory patterns quite alien to those of the present ego personality.

Once physical symptoms actually appear within this system however, they are to some extent accepted as any other established pattern, at least by a portion of the personality. In some cases physical symptoms can actually make up a somewhat independent supersonality structure. This is the case with many chronically-ill individuals. The destructive tendencies are collected about a particularly emotionally-charged group of reactions, and cut off from the dominant personality.

These portions operate almost like a secondary personality, sometimes in actual conflict with the dominant one. Finally, you see, cases develop where the dominant personality is not in control of the physical image at all. Certain classic cases of hysteria can show this in a limited but dramatic fashion.

Now each personality has set up conditions for itself, under which it can operate at its best. When these are upset various difficulties show themselves, until the conditions are met again, or until a new system of adequate conditions are settled upon. In Ruburt’s case the conditions mentioned earlier, in our last sessions, operate to his best advantage. Every effort should be made to maintain them, for they will bring about the highest conditions of maturity possible for his personality structure.

Once symptoms are accepted they can return, for the memory pattern is never completely erased, but only bypassed. For various reasons having to do with past-life experiences, writing has become a structure within which the personality best operates. Psychic development has been welded onto this. As long as he faithfully and consistently follows these lines he will operate at maximum levels. When he falters he lets himself in for difficulties.

Every personality operates in this manner. These are simply his peculiar psychological necessities. This obviously does not mean he need never take time out. It does mean that his overall identity will not stand for a protracted period when concentration is not primarily focused within this work framework.

His personality structure is different, and he has other qualities to counteract against the obsessive tendencies inherited from his mother. The turning point has been reached and passed however in this last episode. He learned from it, and what he has learned will stand him in good stead. Because of the lesson his peaks of achievement will be higher, and his overall physical condition instantly will show improvement.
