“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I am speaking now for your convenience simply. There are four cornerstone personalities involved in your seminar. Now three of these personalities are yours: one is not yours. One is not “yours" in your terms as of this time. When you look up and recognize, you will accept that which you do not now recognize as yourself, as yourself. If you looked up now, you would not recognize the self that you will recognize. Because the Spacious Present exists as it is, the recognition has already been made. You have not yet caught up with it, you see. You are slowpokes. My friend Ruburt in many respects is also a slowpoke. The environment is not where you think it is. I refer to these seminars. The voice that does not “speak" in your terms is yours, but the instructor is not yourself as you know yourself. It is a self you do not as yet know in your terms.

It is extremely difficult to pinpoint an answer. For you the seminars are run by a self belonging to you that you do not yet know or recognize. For others the seminars are run by selves they do not yet recognize and yet the seminar is run by one and not many.

It would, as long as you realized that the self you are as you know yourself now does not run the seminar. I speak in terms of your time.

([Gene]: “Is it possible for one to be aware of the larger self, the universal self that exists apart from what I here and now call time?”)

([Gene]: “Can we teach ourselves to be guided by that larger self?)

([Gene]: “Among all of us is the same self, in this larger sense?”)

It is indeed. The separation process is illusion; nevertheless in this way a depth perception is achieved. You are all one self, but you are all individuals and no individuality is lost. There is no merging. There is no need for merging, since what you are already is a part of all else.

You are all pieces, you see, of the whole; but you are not all the same pieces of the whole, but rather individualized pieces of the whole. You do not all fit together like a crossword puzzle that any idiot can put together. You are still highly individualized portions of the whole. You are the whole, but you are all highly unique. You fit into different portions of the whole. The self or structure or personality travels outward and inward and (if you will forgive me) in all directions. It is action. It constantly changes. Each self as you know it has its own abilities and inclinations and sympathies. It has its own particular place within the Pyramid Gestalt. It can contact that whole self which in your terms does not yet exist, but which is of course always present. In your search you must contact that whole portion of yourself toward which you are growing—toward which I hope you are growing. This is your individual circuit, so to speak. All ways are one way, but your way is your own way. And you can travel no other. He is—Baba—highly advanced indeed. He is a way, however; he is not the end. He is not completed. He is right, but he is wrong in taking pleasure in his rightness. (I have never been known for my own humility. It ill-behooves me to speak.) Nevertheless he who is and knows that he is, is. He has no need for words and he has no need to proclaim himself, for he speaks without the necessity for words and he is heard. Those who are really heard have no need for words. I speak to you now in words because without words now, there would not be the necessary understanding that must be reached before I can become wordless.

They hear without ears and they know directly when they are in contact with he who knows who he is. To be communicates instantaneously and directly and is instantly translated into truths that the inner self can understand. The communication speaks to the whole system of the self.

Indeed you form the patterns in the sense universe, but when you have formed them, you must know them not only as your own creations. You must know their nature for the physical chasm represents a mental chasm within the self.

You are indeed. The self who teaches the seminar already exists.

To give it a name is unfortunate. We have not used a name in our sessions. I would call it IGNAPTHA, which is a poor approximation of the term I am trying to express. In your terms perhaps the whole self constantly expressing itself and that which is knowing itself in all its possibilities.
