“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“Your world is formed out of the vast unpredictability of consciousness. From it you form your own ideas of significance and of yourself … You must stop thinking in terms of ordinary progression. It is bad enough when you worry about keeping up with the Joneses. It is something else, however, when you start worrying about which kind of self [or consciousness] is superior to another kind.”

It is almost impossible to begin with concepts of one isolated universe, one self at the mercy of its past, one time sequence, and end up with any acceptable theory of a multidimensional soul or godhead that is anything else but a glorified personified concept of what you think man is.⁶

The one self that he recognizes is the only part of himself of which he is presently aware. Other facets of consciousness available to him, and a part of his greater nature, appear foreign, or “not-self,” or “beyond self,” because of the focus of selectivity as it now operates.

This obviously does not mean that there are not entities whose selfhood is completely apart from your own. It does mean that your concepts force you to misinterpret and distort any “intrusive” information, or experience, that is part of portions of your own being that you do not recognize as your official self.
