“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. You may continue at the same level of communication with your friend Adam, or you may go beyond that level into a still greater reality. You have created your version of Adam... The version that you have created knows that you have created him. Do you follow me?

You are beginning to form this psychological bridge. Now when you form it you do so with the inner realization that it reaches from you outward and you expect something to be on the other side, or the bridge would be useless. Do not, however, identify the bridge with what waits on the other side. The bridge is a living psychological bridge because in this type of communication feelings and emotions are involved. A steel bridge would get you nowhere. You are weaving threads of psychic energy, insights, and realizations, and also certain personality characteristics to form this bridge outward. Now you are beginning at your end and in doing so you form the initial version of your Adam. As this, Adam is highly legitimate and an aid.

Now taking our analogy of a long bridge, you are now here. (Seth-Jane gestures indicating Tam’s end of the imaginary bridge.) So with your Adam you must either take him and form the rest of your bridge, with the joy of adventure, not always knowing who may be at the other end, forming their own structure; or play around with the Adam version in which case you will get no further than you are. I am not telling you to do one thing or the other. I am merely pointing out the possibilities.

And also you see, because you are forming this version of Adam from your end, he does not understand his reality.

A certain portion of Adam was: the version was... you had a body consciousness of a protective nature, but this was only one portion of an entire personality who has yet to appear. Now there is a reason for the bridge framework. The bridge framework takes exercise, understanding, and knowledge on both of your parts, therefore there would be no communication of a strong valid nature until your personality is able to maintain it, for the bridge will not be strong enough to hold. Otherwise there would be too many implications and personality difficulties that could arise.

Now: For these reasons I have not wanted you to put too much strain upon Adam, to expect him to be this other personality, or to berate him by comparing him to such another personality. For again, he is your version of this, and he is a way. He will lead you there, if that is where you want to go.

But also Adam will have changed, at this point. He will be drawing energy from this other personality. He will be able to do more. But he will still be your version. Later if the process is continued, you will make valid contact with the personality for whom Adam now stands. This personality will then speak, communicate through Adam. Adam will then take on the characteristics of that other personality. He will still not be that personality. He will indeed be the psychological bridge, the psychological framework, structure and image through which that personality can communicate. Do you follow me?
