“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 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.

You and Ruburt have changed since our sessions began. I have also changed. Because I have changed you have changed, and because you have changed I have changed; and each new encounter continually changes, yet in a way that has to do with developments, not single-line continuity.

Our contacts now are not just contacts with Robert F. Butts and Jane Roberts, and that is why I have always used your entity names. The contact is also with your other reincarnated selves that you do not presently recall. (Smiling:) I see a larger portion of your identity than you do.

And when I speak to you I speak also to other portions of you that I have known and do know.

(“What do you see right now?”)

Right now I see you symbolically speaking, in your terms, as the sum of the various people I have known in past lives as you, plus the you that is present, in your terms. In terms then of vision, I see Joseph rather than Robert. And I speak through Ruburt rather than the less—rather than the more limited concept of Jane. Do you follow me?

Now. Our relationship, simply in these terms, is multidimensional. For you also react to me unknowingly on the basis of other relationships with me that you do not consciously recall.

Your reinforcement is necessary however, for you act as an amplifier. One of the reasons is obvious, to me. My own personality, as simply as possible, also represents such a reference point or entry point between you and Ruburt and myself. Because, again as simply as I can explain it, because of our natures a certain field has been set up of receptivity, and though our positions change, the quotients within it do not.

(Pause at 10:31.) Ruburt may be invited to go somewhere or do something, on a Wednesday shortly, and I suggest that he not do so. There seems to be a situation that could arise, that would be highly unpleasant to him, and therefore to you.

Do not drive with anyone else. The situation could arise (underline could) when others here suggest you go somewhere. The situation does not seem planned, in other words. There is an element of surprise. Normality that could catch you unaware.

We are getting more of this sort of information because Ruburt allows it now, but since it involves yourselves we are learning personally to get through such information, where with others we have progressed to some extent beyond that point, you see. This represents progression on Ruburt’s part, but he must still learn lessons that he has already learned in giving such information to others. Do you follow?
