“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, in a few of his delusions he was quite content. He imagined his sons as children sleeping. The whole personality who left is aware of the situation, but he is not vitally concerned. Your father began in this life as a whole personality. Various goals were set by him, and these were reached. He left a fragment of himself to satisfy the few lingering requirements.

Now, and no distortion here from our friend (Jane), your mother was from the beginning a fragment, an offshoot actually, from the personality that she was in her last existence. The offshoot of fragment had to, and chose to, deal with the relationship that then took place between this fragment and your father.

The whole personality is a stubborn one, and had to learn in this manner. The vitality of the fragment personality but hints at the overall vitality of the whole self involved.

The characteristics are explosive and seemingly overwhelmingly impulsive, simply because by the nature of a fragment there are few balancing features, usually instead a one-sided explosive offshoot. These characteristics have in other lives held the personality back. Now the personality will realize the detrimental nature, and has purged itself, so to speak.

The fragment also knows that this life is being lived for the particular reason given. A duty is being performed. Certain characteristics and qualities incorporated about a fragment identity for a definite purpose. The fragment is always aware of this, and it is always aware of its inner identity with the whole personality.

The analogy is perhaps an old one, but the fragment is like an actor playing a character role, partially lost within it, perhaps disliking the character he plays, and yet through the part learning lessons that he will use in his own private life with its greater dimensions. Do you see?

At such a crisis point as is now reached, there is great activity on the part of the whole personality of which the fragment is a part. The coming resolution of the drama brings subconscious backflashes from other lives as well.

The overall personality was not so detached as uncommitted. There has on the other hand been a strong commitment to life on the fragment’s part.
