“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

What you call thinking is a dim shadow of true comprehension. (Pause. Jane lit a cigarette. Her voice, with its distant quality, was not faint however.) This involves being united with knowledge in a way you cannot now appreciate. This kind of comprehension automatically puts you out of self- (hyphen) structures as you think of them, but does not deny identity. Since you are very involved with self-structures as you think of them, then knowledge must be given in such a way that it affects the structure as you know it.

Now you are merged with a concept, now, of what you are. So merged that you cannot see your way clearly out of the concept, nor easily imagine reality from any other viewpoint but the self-structure that you presently imagine yourself to be. (Pause.) Another part of your whole identity is quite aware that you are delving into one concept of yourself. To delve into it, you gladly and willingly momentarily forget the greater portions of yourself. You experience the concept fully. Your prime identity is quite aware of other self-concepts that are also being experienced. (Pause.)

Self-structures and identities are not the same. Identity requires no structure. Identity knows, and knows that it knows. Self-structures know and do not know that they know. Self-structures are a part of identity. Identities can contain pure knowledge without translation, and use it to seed various existences and to form realities. They do this consciously in your terms. They are far more conscious than you can presently imagine.

Here knowledge is sifted through self-structures. (Pause.) Pure knowledge is not impersonal. To the contrary (smile; pause), it is meaningless unless it is (smile; gesture; pause), experienced intimately within every part of an identity. But to you it would seem impersonal.

Even so poor a small fish as I, am not bound by your time, and can be quite aware of what would seem to be future branches and developments that will intimately concern my own identity.
