“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He is not, therefore, supposed to think of me, and I have said this often, as some sort of ghostly spirit in those terms. There is no conflict between what I am and what he thinks I am. Any conflict has been a result of his own misinterpretations.

I am what I have always said that I was, and I said it in as emotionally neutral terms as possible: —an energy essence personality. It is he who adds any other coloration here, and then reacts to those. I have reincarnated, as the material mentions, and so have you both. I have tried to explain personality gestalts and the connections that exist between us.

Now, the personalities that are reached under ordinary seance quote “conditions”, are not personalities such as mine. They are personalities recently dead, in your terms, with strong connections to your environment, and not aware as yet generally of their own larger existence. In other words, this is not what I am.

I must answer questions in the terms in which they are asked, or the questioner cannot understand what I say. I explain my material on various levels, therefore, when I am questioned. In our own material usually, I can deal with matters more as I would prefer.

His intellect is a fine one, and should have no quarrel at all with our sessions. It is only when he uses it falsely as a shield to hide behind that he is bothered, and an objective reading of the Seth material would show him that there is nothing in it of which he need be emotionally or intellectually ashamed. To the contrary, he does not have to see me as a white-gowned spirit. (Strong and emphatic.) I am not physical. But the picture of a white-robed spirit, with those connotations, is not one I have given him.

Personalities are composed of action and of psychic components. This is what you are. It is what I am. There are at all times more various kinds of personalities than there are flower seeds—different varieties. Some mature and develop, some are in ways I have not yet explained, transitory. They merge into other gestalts, but what they are is never destroyed. They operate independently while part of other gestalts.

Frederick Fell has the book he wanted—the first one, and he will play it to the hilt, for him. (Pause.) I am trying to give you some undistorted material here. He thinks, Fell thinks, he is interested in the Seth material. He is playing around with it. He is afraid to take the plunge. He is afraid to say no also.
