DELETED. SETH’S PREFACE:
“THE MANUFACTURE OF PERSONAL REALITY”
APRIL 5, 1972 9:29 PM WEDNESDAY

The volumes automatically unite the material, present it within certain frameworks of discipline. This does not mean that other in-between sessions cannot deal with helping others, or with personal material. As you now know, some considerable time is taken with your preparation of notes, and so I have been waiting a while.

Now: the inner self is the primary personal creator and perceiver, the seat of identity, a consciousness then with many faces. Each portion of the inner self creates its own reality, and perceives the structure of matter to which it is attuned.

The subject of matter then becomes one of correlating inner data with outward experience and appearance. The inner core of the self has no difficulty in uniting and correlating the outward experience of its many personalities, but the subject of reincarnation cannot be understood without a knowledge of the nature of matter.

(9:45.) Often in the dream state and occasionally in the waking state, a personality will glimpse what seems to be a past personal event . When this occurs the perceptions have already altered it, so that it is very difficult to perceive at the same time the present physical location and the past one. Usually the perceptions glide to one or the other: that one becomes shadowy or indistinct as the other becomes stronger and appears three-dimensionally.

As the personal subconscious that you know maintains your familiar physical image, so does the core inner self beneath give this personal subconscious the power and ability. It does the same with other portions of the self that look out toward other times and places.

Reincarnation, so-called, cannot adequately be considered then as a phenomenon apart from the nature of personality either, for it is a direct result of the inner self’s attempt to project its personality characteristics outward into a world of physical actuality.
