“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

Your physical personalities as you know them are projecting personalities from the whole inner self. But the projecting fragments themselves, you see, do not come and leave unaffected, but grow and mature and develop, really, other portions of the self in continuing extensions. There are no dead-end projections.

The physical personality, a projection from a whole inner self, develops into more than it was, and has experiences that the inner self could not have under any but those particular circumstances.
