“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Our sessions are experiences in the expansion of consciousness. There will be questions as to whether or not some images in some such periods are legitimate or imaginary. The questions of course will be meaningless. The images will be quite valid in their own system, and if you travel within it you will see them.

With our methods the ego is taken into confidence, you see. (Long pause.) Insanity, as it is labeled, is sometimes merely the result of a strange situation, in which certain individuals use the ordinarily dormant portions of the brain as well as, or sometimes largely in place of, the recognized portions. The perception of reality is therefore largely alien to society.

It goes without saying that in our methods the ego is changed rather completely but gradually in many cases, and only through its own willingness to do so. It recognizes its identity as a part of, underlined, the inner self. Therefore basically it has no need to fight the inner self, since it knows its survival is dependent upon this inner framework.

The ego to some large extent, you see, has extended its functions and performance. Since our sessions began, for example, it has expanded in both of your cases. It has expanded not because it has grown more egotistic but because it has accepted as a part of itself, intuitional realizations and inner psychic responsibilities in a way that it did not consider before.

The ego has completely changed its structure. It has changed its electromagnetic identity in your cases, since our sessions. It has learned, to some extent, to assimilate your inner experiences. In the long run this is the most effective method. And in the long run no consciousness expansion can occur unless the ego structure is so altered.

There are other methods that also alter it, but our methods are the most advantageous from many standpoints.

(Seth did not return after 10:25, so Jane and I made our own connections. Jane said she had images while giving the data, but as usual could not pinpoint them until we began going over the data item by item.
