“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The ego would have chosen an easier road, through fiction. (Pause.) Through easy success, through in fact a far more shallow route, but the intuitive self would have suffered drastically in your future, and there would have been severe difficulties.

The symbols have great meaning to the inner self. They also serve as intuitional springboards, opening up channels through which insights can flow. They can also serve as vehicles for energy.

Until then the ego and the intuitive self had not come into conflict, as far as basic philosophy was concerned. The intuitive self presented the ego however with a new line of development that it was not prepared to follow.

Now it adds its strength. I made no attempts to browbeat it, recognizing its purposes. Ruburt chose a strong ego as a necessary guardian in adolescence, and as a balance to the strong spontaneous self, until a mission made itself known, and the correct mission. It simply did not recognize the mission for some time.

It understands quite well that I am more than a subconscious extension of the personality. I would not be satisfied, either, with a highly simplified version of my existence, accepting me as a long-gowned spirit in those terms known to it, and knows that I am far more than that, that the truth is deeper, and it will work with the intuitive self to search for answers. (A bit jumbled, Seth!)

Now I will let you end the session, but this is information that is highly valuable. The spontaneous self is also highly relieved that it is on good terms again with the ego, and that the personality is establishing itself and the main work is beginning.
