“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now good evening. You can hardly be in the middle because there is no beginning or end. I am pleased to meet you both. He (referring to Baba) is not who he says he is; nevertheless he speaks the truth. He is a part of who he says he is, as indeed I am. When you read our material, there will be one issue in particular on which you will not agree. You will later agree. I am coming in softly, you see. I am coming in very quietly indeed, so that I do not startle or frighten Ruburt. He is very easily startled.

Now I speak from several layers, though the word “speak" is a poor one, I turn myself, you see, into steps down which I walk and the steps represent what you would term personality fragments, though the term is distortive. I speak on a level that you can all understand. I have been to your seminar—not your seminar—but ones much like them in what you would term the past. I attend my own and I give my own. I am broken up into highly energized personality fragments of my own accord, you see. The breaking up itself is an illusion. Those who wish to learn will be found by others like me—individualized and equipped because of their own internal structures to communicate and to receive communications from them. You must have your own circuit through.

([Gene]: “Seth, can you tell me more about who is running the seminar?”)

He is who he says he is and yet he is not. There is a deception. One might call it an honest deception there.

He who knows who and what he is need not say so.

Saying so in those terms will not help teaching. Example—yes; existence —yes. You need not say who you are, when you know who you are; and if you say who you are, you do not know who you are. Beware who speaks in those terms. There may be distortion. (Too fast to follow.) It is dangerous to have highly distorted truth. If you know who you are, you do not need these words.

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.

([Gene]: “I do. May we pursue that point a bit? We would like to create a sort of school—a very simple kind of school—to help anyone who seeks for it, without presuming that we have any answers, but going on the assumption that the way which has been proclaimed by many men is a good way—namely the simple way of love. I presume that you know about the idea that we have for creating such circuits. Will they work? If not, what are their major shortcomings? What would you recommend?”)

These are impressions: two people in particular. (Am not sure here.) One older than the others—perhaps (now, perhaps) 48—some difficulty and misunderstandings connected with him. A “D" and an “H". The project can succeed if purity of intent is retained. There is someone I believe approximately 23 years old who would be dropped.

You do not have to play complicated games. There will be those who will expect them and you will feel their pressure.

([Gene]: “To those who can hear.”)

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.

([Gene]: “Suppose someone has yet to learn who they are? I am afraid we are quibbling over teaching techniques. Let me put a question bluntly. What would you do in my shoes?”)

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