“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This is not to say that the outer ego is a puppet. It is to say that the outer ego is far less conscious than the inner ego or the inner self, that its perception is less, that it is far less stable, though it makes great pretense at stability; that it springs from the inner self, and is less rather than more, aware. (Pause.)

The inner ego however is always aware of both aspects of its reality. In the deepest sense (pause), this inner self is organized about its primary aspect, which is creativity. It constantly translates the components of its gestalt into reality, either physical reality through the EE units I have mentioned, or into other realities equally as valid.

An individual inner self, then, through constant massive effort of great creative intensity, cooperates with all other inner selves to form and maintain the physical reality that you know, so that physical reality is an offshoot or by-product of (pause), the highly conscious creative inner self.

(Long pause.)

Buildings appear to be made of rock or wood or steel. They appear fairly permanent to the physical senses. They are actually oscillating, ever-moving, highly charged gestalts of EE units (pause), organized and maintained by collective efforts on the part of inner selves. They are solidified emotions, solidified subjective states, given physical materialization.

We have to a very brief extent begun to explain that phenomena in a recent session. The inner self has a vast and infinite reservoir from which to draw knowledge and gain experience. (Pause.) All kinds of choices are available, and the diversity of physical matter is a reflection of this deep source of variety.

Suffice it to say however that in the future what I am telling you will be more generally known. Men will become familiar to some extent with their own inner identity, with other forms of their own consciousness. (Pause.)

Quite the contrary, the ego is replenished, and rather directly. (Pause.) It is the fear that the unconscious, so-called, is chaotic, that causes psychologists to make such statements, and there (pause) is also something in the nature of those who practice psychology, a fascination, in many cases, already predisposed to fear the so-called unconscious in direct proportion to its attraction for them.

(Pause.) The ego maintains its stability, its seeming stability, and its health, from the constant subconscious and unconscious nourishment that it receives. Too much nourishment will not kill it. (Emphatic.) Do you follow me here?
