“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. As you have a tendency to think that earth is the center of the universe, although you know this is not true, so you have a tendency to think that the ego is the center of the personality, and that other aspects of the personality exist for the use of the ego, that all else revolves about the ego. This is not true.

In my own book I will describe the makeup of personality from another viewpoint indeed. You take it for granted that each individual has but one ego, and therefore perhaps understandably you ascribe to it more importance than it possesses.

I have told you that through many existences you don egos for the purposes set by the inner self. It is necessary of course that you believe in your role. The difficulty is that you must believe in your role, and yet also realize that it is a role that you, the inner self, have chosen. Otherwise your connections with the inner self are nearly forgotten. The ego forgets that it is only a part of a much more complete personality structure, and therefore cuts itself off from abilities and insights that are necessary, even for its own comfort and stability.
