“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There are several points I would like to make concerning psychological identity. For the sake of analogy only now, imagine your present self at the center of a circle of endless spirals. You are yourself, and yet one of the spirals that form the circle. You are a vortex for the circle. You do not have to contact it nor its other spirals, in that you already belong to it.

Now the same is true of other portions of your entity, if you consider any other given portion as being the vortex of its own circle. In any psychic investigations or endeavors you will often gain assistance and support from those others who make up the circle of which you are a part.

Now I am speaking simply, for I am speaking of a circle as you understand it in three-dimensional terms, but there are more depths and dimensions to a circle than you can imagine when you picture, say, a globe; and so of course in this analogy identity has other dimensions that do not appear.

Give us a moment with this. (Pause. ) There are points or identities more easily reached from any given viewpoint within such a multidimensional structure. (Jane drew in the air, eyes open.) Imagine a superstructure of a circle, put together like a pie, except that each segment is also in itself a globe, and that this structure is in itself an exterior one, the multidimensional equivalent of the pie’s crust or the apple’s skin.

Now the circumference of these circles interlap and bisect each other. Nor are the dimensions of circumference or radius stationary in your terms, for they exist in value fulfillment rather than in space, and their measurements in terms of intensity rather than in inches or miles.

(9:49. Jane easily emerged from a deep trance, she said. She said she didn’t feel like delivering any more emotional material at the moment. She had internal images or visions of the circles and vortexes as Seth spoke, but she could not now put these into words. They also changed as Seth continued discussing the analogies involved.

In terms again of the image set up earlier, there are various reference points where overlapping areas of the various circles penetrate each other; and as has been mentioned earlier, Ruburt’s personality presently is in such a psychological location.

Now mathematicians will not like this, but in your (underlined) terms within the multidimensional circle image, we form a triangle. The triangle is mobile, but we are to some extent (underline some) eternally allied. We were always formed something more than we are individually, in your terms.

Now within our relationship as a triangle, dimensions are open and constantly changing. Because of it we have all a rather unusual freedom. Now, I am part of another triangle still, that is within this circle, and through my contacts with this other triangle there are abilities, perceptions, insights, talents available to you that you have barely begun to tap.

The circle image that I gave you is meant to represent the basic meaning of each individual’s entity. Within it each individual is free. In the simplest of terms I have tried to suggest through analogy the multidimensional aspects of a basic self.
