“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There are very dim memories still lingering, confused. These are ghosts of memories, not this man’s memories really at all—ghosts of those memories that still linger because of the physical connection, the relationship between the man who remained and the main personality who did not stay.

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.

His part in it was finished early. Her part was not, and she has chosen this road, all without knowing. Characteristics now being shown impeded the progress of the whole personality to which she is attached. The whole personality has to work these characteristics out in physical terms in order to discover through direct experience where they would lead.

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 whole personality will be much more free to progress. The characteristics were allowed to run their course. It had been agreed between the mother and the father beforehand. The whole personality of the father did not need to be involved after a certain point however, and withdrew. (Long pause; one of many.)

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.

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.

As a change of environment affects twins, Twin A becoming something different again through a given environment from Twin B in another environment, so twins born in different times also develop different portions of a basic personality pattern. This is the case here.

This son is basically a psychological twin of the mother, but developing a more spacious personality, and a more giving nature. This one has progressed so well, with indeed little experience comparatively, that he most probably will become an entity of his own eventually.
