“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This phenomena is not meant to explain legitimate instances in which the personality and consciousness itself returns for purposes of communication. This image trace is a lingering manifestation, an imprint within your system, a part of its reality, and is held within it as you might for example retain an idea in your mind long after the idea has been expressed physically. As a painting that is destroyed physically may still be retained in your mind, so in the reality of the physical system a trace remains, an image trace of the camouflage structure that enclosed a given personality.

(She said that sometimes “these personalities” seem to be able to look into her mind and see how she is going to deliver a bit of data; if they don’t approve, then they can change the way they give it to her to speak, so we’ll take it the right way. Jane said she used to distrust this process greatly, but no longer does so. She thinks this may be why she doesn’t completely lose consciousness during sessions—so she can aid the personalities as they make use of her verbal discrimination.
