“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You are as a rule aware of one system only and not generally conscious of yourself as anything but a creature of that system. I refer here to humanity at this time. These psychological structures through value fulfillment, ever enlarge their abilities to form new realities and to act within them. It should not be forgotten that these environmental systems are directly created by those who dwell within them, and this includes your own.

We are bringing the ego inward, so to speak. It is partaking of this consciousness expansion. In the past the ego has been overexaggerated. It has ruled the roost. This does not mean that the changing pendulum must now attempt to eliminate the ego. Any expansion of consciousness must also include this portion of the self.

The psychedelic experience under these circumstances transforms the ego also in beneficial ways. Otherwise the ego is left behind, unable to perform, as a rule now, its primary functions. The ego can organize the old data when it undergoes a psychedelic experience as a part of the whole self. Then it can also organize the new data.
