“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Such an arrangement would indeed allow more freedom and creativity than usual. However this is not the case. There is instead not a working arrangement between various portions of one personality, but a working arrangement among many quite independent personalities. They exist in various dimensions, and all of them have access to knowledge that Jane does not possess.

(Last week in one of her ESP classes, Jane found herself speaking as Ruburt, knowing she was doing so. There was evidently strong telepathic/clairvoyant communication with another student when this occurred, for as Ruburt, Jane, while conscious, described a certain ancient scene set about a campfire; Jane and her student, also female, described the same scene. Jane saw the scene clearly, and among other facts realized that in this ancient time both she and the student were existing as males in that life. Jane has been giving this episode much thought.)

Now this is a more respectable theory than many, but in my case it is not the correct one. Again, the theories of personality that are taken for granted within your system still manage to confuse you. It is a highly simplified version of the truth to say that I am a spirit, in those terms, though in those terms I am indeed.

Ruburt then, would be considered Jane’s third self in approximate terms. In the analogy these future selves would dwell in other dimensions, and usually self one, or Jane, would be relatively unaware of their, existence or knowledge. In this case self one is able to make such contacts however.

(I seemed to have the ability to shift my focus so as to see more of the scene. I became aware that another figure was seated at a table just in front of the robed figure, with its head, also shadowed, turned toward the robed one. While Jane spoke and as I made my notes, I found time to do a little sketch in the margin. The sketch merely recorded the idea of what I had seen, and noted the composition, for I thought it would make a good painting. I saw all this in color: browns, reds and yellows.

We will have much more to say here at a later date. Suffice it to say, using again our analogy, that although both self 6 and self one are independent, there are certain connections between them, and that these can be activated.

Suffice it so say also that in this analogy, self 6 is far more than simply a future self one. Do you follow me?

Now. You, Joseph—I will speak to you as Robert. You and Jane are a part of the same entity. You know that you are not Jane. Jane knows that she is not you. In the same way I am not Jane, and Jane is not me. You share some general joint memories with Jane, even before your acquaintanceship and despite the difference in your physical ages. These having to do with national and cultural events, so they are common to you both. This does not mean because you have some general common memories, that you and Jane are one individual.

Yet a psychologist would come to this conclusion if the same statement were made about myself and Jane. Now we as portions of one entity, have certain memories that could be compared to the general cultural ones that you and Jane share, even before you met. These however, that you have, are obviously felt by you both in an entirely different manner, because of your own different viewpoints and so forth.

(See pages 111-12 of the 442nd session for Oct. 14, 1968 in which Seth warns us not to get into other cars. We have scrupulously followed this advice since October 14, and to date no mishaps have taken place. This auto data was one I wanted to ask about particularly.)

Do not drive with your brother. It is not something that is being formed within your own direct sphere, but one into which you could be drawn.
