“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He has been reading various sections of the material, including portions having to do with the ego, personality and action, and you see attempted to set himself aside from the action in which his whole personality was intimately involved. As impossible [to do] as the ego’s general attempt to insist upon some sort of permanent, unchanging, stable identity, since it is composed of action.

One portion of the personality therefore set itself aside and therefore was unable to use the abilities and energies inherent in the personality as a whole, constructively; and erecting barriers in one respect, the barriers were erected in all important regards.

I, who am the source (pause), sent a portion of myself, an independent portion, to you. Seth as you then thought of him, was far more than a delivery boy however, for it was his peculiar personality, and his particular qualities, which gave the material life for you.

You have always been then in contact with me, but you were only able to see a portion of me. (Pause.) Keep in mind that all names are arbitrary, and we use them merely for your convenience, as we use words. (Still speaking carefully.) Basically, Seth’s name or mine isn’t important. Individuality is important, and continues in ways you barely suspect. (Long pause; voice light, not like Seth.)

I am far more however than this portion of me that you contact, for it is only one portion of me that experienced that reality. (Pause.) It is highly important that the material not be distorted then, for most communications take place on far different levels than this, so closely connected with your own system that even the most undistorted material is highly distorted, because the communicators themselves are so closely involved with camouflages, and do not realize that they create the realities which they then describe.

I do not want you to feel I have taken away a friend. I am also a friend. In many ways I am the same friend. Still, only a small portion of what I am speaks to you now. (Pause.) Other portions of me are concerned elsewhere, for I am aware of my own existence in other dimensions, and keep track of them, and direct my many selves. (Pause, eyes closed. Then Jane said in a faint voice:) Call him.
