“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You, as you know yourself, will not grow into this quote “higher” self. This higher self and you exist simultaneously. And yet the abilities and knowledge of this “higher” self can become part of your own conscious knowledge through the psychological bridge of which I have spoken.

I have several suggestions as always. Our new bride here is not so worried about psychic phenomena. She is only worried about Adam. This will pass in time. She needs a part to play: something in which you can participate, and develop yourself (directly to Eve). You would do well to try experiments in the out-of-body state. You have your own abilities to develop. You do not have to be an Eve to Adam.

You can also develop along the same line in the dream state if you give yourself the suggestion that when you are dreaming you will see color truly and remember the colors that you have seen. You will remember them, and you can try to reproduce them. Now these colors are like nothing in this world. (Humorously.)

You can also yourself participate in another way. (To Eve.) You would do very well—I can see now, however, that this will not appeal to you and it is to some degree an unusual knack—but you would do very well in finding lost animals. You would have a knack... particularly in finding dogs. You would do very well also in dealing with animals where you cared for them and picked homes for them. On one level I can see this does not appeal to you. On another level, however, you would do very well. It is a knack from previous experiences, a knack you may never use. You may add it to your list of accomplishments. (Humorously.)

Now: it is quite possible for you at this point now to visit this room. Give yourself the suggestion.

It will enlarge your concepts, change your ideas of what is real and what is not real and what can be and what cannot be; and what you are and what you can be. You can both discover the greater identity that is your own, and step out of your own shadow image. For you identify yourself with a very small portion of your true identity. And when you use the word, I, you do not realize the I of which you speak.
