“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.

When consciousness leaves the body, it identifies itself with one of these portions, and travels in its form. Each form, embodying certain identity characteristics, has its own environment. Its abilities allow it to operate in particular dimensions.

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.)

These various seemingly separate projecting selves are of course portions of the one. Now there are classes indeed where the newly dead are instructed. I used to teach some of these. We attended such a class last evening. The physical self as you know it, for physical purposes hardly needs to be concerned with these issues.

However that portion will not always be physically oriented, and so its consciousness does become aware of certain other realities. On one level your religions try to explain such matters.

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.
