“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.

It is as if the physical elements themselves retain, in your terms, the memory of all the images that they have ever been a part of; and this is a simplified explanation of what indeed does occur. It is a difficult matter to explain to you, for the words that I must use necessarily must be couched in somewhat questionable terms.

I am able to change them as action while retaining the knowledge that I am that which changes, and find my stability in change. You must hold the action back for perceptive purposes. You do not really hold it back, but your one-reality field psychological structure only experiences in tiny segments.
