“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

These coordinates are simply points where other fields of reality come into contact. Each exists to some extent where the other is, and yet the camouflage structures make it necessary for those within any given system to recognize the certain characteristics, only, of the one in which focus is to be maintained.

The personality does indeed turn its focus into another field of reality, and does desert the camouflage image that it maintained. However, some trace of that personality remains in that camouflage reality, quite literally, as what you might call a ghost image.

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.

Consciously, you are able to focus within, understand, and gain development in, one field of reality at a time. (Smile.)

These points, these coordinates, are all about you and impinge upon your physical form and your universe constantly, but you cannot understand nor perceive them. Consciously you work with what you call a one-reality field psychological structure. Other portions of your entire entity are not so limited.

This is simplified. Consciously you deal with those problems of one given physical life. Consciously you are not aware of what you call reincarnations, though these occur within your own system. Now these are not separate existences at all. They only appear so to you. Your earth identity (smile) in singular terms, is one existence. When you sleep at night and awaken, you do not suppose yourself a new personality, or imagine that you have died during the night. This is what you do when you imagine that you have several existences as different people.

So while you operate in a one-reality field psychological structure, you do not on a conscious level even perceive its entire reality, nor your place in it. The word progression is a poor one, and again however I must use it. (Pause; smile.) Seth’s material on action will help you here.

Your consciousness expands and develops according to its own abilities. Previous lives are handled in conscious terms when you are in existence between physical lives. When you are completed in those terms you may operate within a two-reality field psychological pattern, in which you are consciously aware of existing in two systems at once, and able to manipulate with full awareness within each.

A psychological existence presupposes experience, experience in terms of value fulfillment (pause) and the emotional manipulation and direct knowledge of subjective states. This involves a capacity and ability to throw yourself whole-heartedly into a reality enveloping situation, and yet to be aware of the self who is then so lost or enveloped. (Pause; emphatic delivery.)

(10:25. Jane sat quietly for a moment, then jumped and came out of trance. Her voice had been the same throughout, and almost fast at times. She said she knew she was having trouble at the one slow passage, above. She was making an effort to get something through by using words that were correctly suggestible. It was very difficult, even though both sides were doing what they were supposed to.

These sessions themselves are a very slight evidence. As you have mentioned, Ruburt’s egotistical self is now aware of potentialities and problems that did not exist for it earlier. For the reality did not exist consciously then.

In conscious projections you are also learning to deal to some extent with multifield psychological realities. Much that I will tell you concerning my psychological structure will be initially based upon some information you have concerning the inner senses, for these are my conscious senses.

Using them consciously automatically brings about a psychological reality so different from your own as to be alien. In terms of value fulfillment there is such a multitudinous variety of simultaneously held experiences that you could not contain them and hold the realization of your own identity.

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.
