“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Let us start with Jung. He presumes that consciousness must be organized about an ego structure. And what he calls the unconscious, not so egotistically organized, he, therefore, considers without consciousness—without consciousness of self. He makes a good point, saying that the normal ego cannot know unconscious material directly. He does not realize, however, nor do your other psychologists, what I have told you often—that there is an inner ego; and it is this inner ego that organizes what Jung would call unconscious material.

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.

Now: it is not true—and I emphasize this strongly—that so-called unconscious material, given any freedom, will draw energy away from the egotistically organized self in a normal personality. Quite the contrary, the ego is replenished and rather directly. It is the fear that the “unconscious” is chaotic that causes psychologists to make such statements. There is also something in the nature of those who practice psychology: a fascination, in many cases, already predisposed to fear the “unconscious” in direct proportion to its attraction for them.
