“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Again: when you are in a state that is not the usual waking one, when you have forsaken this daily self, you are, nevertheless, conscious and alert. You merely block out the memory from the waking ego. So when the attributes of consciousness are given, creativity is largely ignored. It is assigned, instead, primarily to the unconscious. My point is that the unconscious is conscious. Creativity is one of the most important attributes of consciousness, then. We will differentiate between normal ego consciousness and consciousness that only appears unconscious to that ego.

All the richly creative original work that is done by this inner self is not unconscious. It is purposeful, highly discriminating, performed by the inner conscious ego of which the exterior ego is but a shadow—and not, you see, the other way around. Jung’s dark side of the self is the ego, not the unconscious. The complicated, infinitely varied, unbelievably rich tapestry of Jung’s “unconscious” could hardly be unconscious. It is the product of an inner consciousness with far more sense of identity and purpose than the daily ego. It is the daily ego’s ignorance and limited focus that makes it view so-called unconscious activity as chaotic.
