“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

“We taught man to speak before the tongue knew syllables. We adopt whatever personality characteristics seem pertinent, for in our own reality we have a bank of complete inner selves, and we are all Seth. We attempt to translate realities into terms that you can comprehend. We change our face and form, but we are always the one. [...] In one way we have seeded ourselves through endless universes.

“I have told you who we are. We are Seth, and whenever we have spoken we have been known as Seth. [...] We are not alone in this endeavor, for through your centuries other entities like us have also appeared and spoken.

[...] I think we were afraid that our regular Seth sessions were over, and that the new ones would take their place. “Besides,” Rob said, “what do we call this new personality?” We knew it was meaningless basically, but we felt we needed a name, a label. And how exactly was this new personality different from Seth? What could it do that Seth couldn’t? [...]

“The Seth personality has been an intermediary and a legitimate one. [...] Seth is what I am, yet I am more than Seth is. Seth is, however, independent, and continues to develop as I do. In the Spacious Present we both exist.

“So I am the Seth that is beyond the Seth that you know. And in me the knowledge and vitality of that Seth still rings. In your terms, I am a future Seth, but the terms are meaningless to me.

Seth said, “We will make an effort in the future to give you both some direct experience in concepts. [...] This will be a different kind of in-depth learning, a rather unique and original development that will be as devoid as possible of stereotyped symbols, which are usually almost automatically superimposed on such experiences. [...]

[...] Keep in mind that all names are arbitrary, and we use them merely for your convenience. Basically, Seth’s name or mine isn’t important. [...]

“In the most important way, and in the only basic way, I am Seth, dispensing with certain characteristics which are mine, which I used to contact you. The Seth personality, again, is legitimate and independent and is a part of my identity. Seth is learning as I am.

[...] Seth as you knew him will also be Seth as you know him, for whether or not I speak as myself or through him, he is still the intermediary and the connection between us. [...] There are necessary emotional elements that are uniquely his own.

[...] Our usual Seth sessions still continue, and only now and then does this other personality speak. We refer to it as Seth Two. [...] This time I wasn’t frightened, realizing that we were getting an answer to Rob’s question. [...]
