“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There are many portions of the self, as you know. They do assume a form that is visible within their own dimension. These portions of the self are all simultaneous; in various stages of consciousness you become aware of other portions of the self, and an I identifies itself with one or another of these.

One form may indeed serve, and then consciousness may project out of it into a new form that is familiar with other dimensions. In Ruburt’s experience three different forms were used. He spoke, incidentally to his Father Trainor, and Lizzie Roohan together, while he was in the second form. He was then led by me into a further dimension of reality in which his third form was used. You must remember that all of these portions of the self exist at once, and that the whole inner self knows them as a part of its own identity. (Lizzie and her mother shared the two-family Saratoga, NY home with Jane and her mother.)

Since these selves exist simultaneously, it is then possible for consciousness to enter, or really form, such an image, undergo experiences within the characteristic pattern of reality, and then project to another image. In all cases consciousness forms the image. When consciousness changes, or travels at certain frequencies, it automatically changes its form. It is indeed possible to be involved with more than one form at once as in usual projection.

You can enter a trance state in any form, you see. The time element is important when you project from the physical image. It becomes less important the further away you get from the physical form. Since all of these selves are simultaneous, it is also possible to project yourself into one of your own previous identities.

Any real psychology must take all these levels of the self into consideration, for the physically-oriented self that you know is largely formed by the subjective self of which you know so little.

We have been speaking of ascending selves in your terms. In your (underlined) terms, there are also, of course, descending selves, in that each atom and molecule has its own consciousness and contains all the characteristics inherent in consciousness itself. It is individualistic, it contains qualities you term personality qualities. It adopts form, gains experience, and develops through value fulfillment.
