[...] And it is the infinite variety and gradations of intensity that makes all identities possible, and all gestalts, all identities in terms of personalities and fields and universes. It is this density, this infinite variety of intensity, which allows for both identity and of change.

[...] Not only are no two of these electrical fields identical, but there are no identical impulses within them.

[...] Electrical identities move and change. [...]

[...] The point is that you are only limited to the self you know if you think that you are, and if you do not realize that that self is far from your entire identity.

Now often you tune into these other streams of consciousness without realizing that you have done so — for again, they are a part of the same river of your identity. [...]

[...] In other words, you may become aware of a far greater reality than you now know, use abilities that you do not realize you possess, know beyond all doubt that your own consciousness and identity is independent of the world in which you now focus your primary attention. [...]

[...] But in the very deep reaches of sleep experience — those, incidentally, not yet touched upon by scientists in so-called dream laboratories — you are in communication with other portions of your own identity, and with the other realities in which they exist.

[...] Dreams at the deepest level will not respond necessarily then to your present sex identity.

[...] They are electromagnetic realities and part of your identity. [...]

[...] It may accept the challenge of great change on the other hand, and allow a reorganization of psychological processes, in which case identity is not only saved but renewed. [...]

It can then build upon these, willingly submerge part of itself, and emerge with a more vigorous identity. [...]

Now this is identity as it is not generally known, and in this analogy lies the truth of the nature of identity. [...]

There are several points I would like to make concerning psychological identity. [...]

Now I am speaking simply, for I am speaking of a circle as you understand it in three-dimensional terms, but there are more depths and dimensions to a circle than you can imagine when you picture, say, a globe; and so of course in this analogy identity has other dimensions that do not appear.

[...] ) There are points or identities more easily reached from any given viewpoint within such a multidimensional structure. [...]

[...] It can be said that all consciousnesses and all identities are but one. This in no way negates the existence of any given identity however. All identities are more dependent upon each other, and yet more independent, than you imagine.

[...] First however it is necessary that the nature of identity itself be studied more carefully. The nature of identity is strongly dependent upon the innate ability to draw upon, utilize and direct psychic energy.

[...] It should be fairly obvious that identity hardly resides exclusively within the physically-oriented ego. In one sense, identity is always a becoming, and it can never be a static, finished thing. [...]

[...] It is unfortunate that identity is considered generally as a rather static and permanent acknowledgment, for it is not.

Practically speaking you see, if you were aware of the constant barrage of telepathic communications that do impinge upon you, it would be most difficult to retain identity. Identity would suffer if it were forced to perceive more impressions than it could effectively handle. [...]

Identity could be called a strong organizing characteristic that perceives impressions in definite ordered form. As identity is strengthened through experience then it automatically expands itself to add further realities which it is now able to manipulate.

[...] The self expands as your ability grows, as you learn to retain identity in the midst of diversity.

[...] You have self structures so intense that they are able to handle an infinite variety of impressions, share them, use them, and still retain individual identities.

These CU’s can operate as separate entities, as identities, or they can flow together in a vast, harmonious wave of activity, as a force. [...] No identity, once “formed,” is ever annihilated, for its existence is indelibly a part of “the entire wave of consciousness to which it belongs.”

I want you to try and imagine a situation in which (long pause) there exists a psychological force that includes within its capabilities the ability to act simultaneously on the most microscopic and the most macroscopic levels; that can form within itself (long pause, eyes closed) a million separate inviolate unique identities, and that can still operate as a part of those identities, and as a larger unit that is their source—in which case it is a wave from which the particles emerge. [...]

In the beginning CU’s, then, units of consciousness, existing within a divine psychological gestalt, endowed with the unimaginable creativity of that sublime identity, began themselves to create, to explore, and to fulfill those innate values by which they were characterized. [...]

[...] As physical creatures, they focused upon what you think of as physical identities: separate, individual differences, endowing each physical consciousness with its own original variations and creative potentials, its own opportunity for completely original experience, and a viewpoint or platform from which to participate in reality—one that at that level could not be experienced in the same way by any other individual (all very intently). This is [the] privileged, always new, private and immediate, direct experience of any individual of any species, or of any degree, as it encounters the objective universe.

[...] If this is true, then obviously “you” are aware of only one small probable portion of yourself — and this portion you protect as your identity (underlined). If you think of it as simply a focus taken by “your” greater identity, then you will be able to follow what I am saying without feeling puny by contrast, or lost.⁶ The focus that you have is indeed inviolate.

[...] Despite whatever organizations it becomes part of, or how it mixes with other such basic units, its own identity is not annihilated.

[...] With your focus, it seems that you have a line of identity from birth to death. [...]

Because of the great organizing nature of these basic units, there are also psychological structures that are quite capable of holding their own identities while being aware of any given number of probable selves. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Identities take many roles in many lives.

There are periods, cycles if you prefer, through which such identities live and learn again within your system. [...]

[...] There are exceptions—identities who choose to return and teach. [...]

[...] And through all of this, the entity formed from that massive chaos retains its identity and its knowledge of its “pasts” and continues to grow in creativity.

[...] You find me impersonal as Ruburt does, and yet it is simply because you do not understand the gestalt of personality and action and the meaning of identity. For my own identity is aware of many other personalities that are my own. [...]

[...] I can only to some extent communicate at this channel, yet you realize that the Seth you know, while a part of my identity, is nevertheless independent, and progresses along the lines of his own development. [...]

[...] For both of us exist simultaneously, and other portions of your own identities exist simultaneously with those that you know. [...]

The next step is taken when identity is able to include within itself the intimate knowledge of all incarnations. [...] Each of these steps of consciousness involve identity with the inner recognition of its unity with All That Is.

This multi-dimensional personality or identity is the psychological structure with which we will be concerned in many sessions. [...] These make up the basic identity of the whole self. [...]

[...] You give probable selves a foundation and history and identity, and without your creation of them they would not exist. [...]

[...] Other portions retain their experience, identity, and knowledge. [...]

[...] It is the part of the identity which perceives. [...]

[...] The entity is the overall identity of which his personality is one manifestation — an independent and eternally valid portion. [...]

[...] Let it serve to remind you that your own basic identity is as nonphysical as my own.

[...] Identity is not really lost though you may seem to forget yourself, but the props of identity are lost. [...]

You may know that intense immersion into any particular activity results in a momentary loss, or seeming loss, of ego identity, in that the activity and the personality become one. [...]

[...] You do not fear such a seeming loss of identity when it involves an immersion of self in idea. [...]

I am not minimizing the necessity or power of intellect, but any activity in which the individual momentarily forgets the props of identity, and immerses himself, such an activity allows him to dispense with the practical limitations inherent in a closed system, and refreshes his psychic ability.

[...] The basic sense of identity here is carried by what you could compare to the subconscious that you know. In other words, it is this portion of the psychological structure that carries the burden of identity, and it is the ego whose experiences are of a dreamlike nature.”

[...] According to Seth, each of us has counterparts in other systems of reality; not identical selves or twins, but other selves who are part of our entity, developing abilities in a different way than we are here.

[...] You were afraid of blurring your own identities, and rather frightened by some of the similarities within them. [...]

[...] Seth explains this relationship by saying that the two are related, like distant cousins.) He begins with what I think is an excellent description of the whole self or entire identity as it is related to this and other existences.

[...] (Pause.) Identities take many roles in many lives.

There are periods, cycles if you prefer, through which such identities live and learn within your system. [...]

[...] There are some exceptions—identities that choose, then, to return and teach. [...]

[...] And through all of this, the entity formed from that massive chaos retains its identity and the knowledge of its pasts, and continues to grow in creativity. [...]

(9:45.) The behaviors of such units, as you can now see, form the particular camouflage within any given system, while the peripheral activities effectively set up inner identities and outer boundaries. [...]

[...] Therefore there are no limitations set upon the development of any individual consciousness, or growth of any identity. [...]

A certain level, again, of consciousness is necessary, a certain kind of knowledge, a certain understanding of energy organization before an identity can manipulate a complicated physical organism.

[...] Consciousness must by its nature change, and so identities must also change — not one blotting out the other, but building upon it while each succeeding step is maintained and not discarded, you see.

Now if you would each, for ten minutes a day, open yourselves to your own reality there would be no question of self-justification, for you would realize the miraculous nature of your own identity. [...]

[...] You can be aware of your own greater identity, even as I am. [...]

[...] Remember, this is your entire identity of which we are speaking. [...]

[...] You know the reason, and your entire identity knows the reason. [...]

[...] The new individual has a deeply buried memory of its past lives, but the personal consciousness of the last reincarnated self must not be superimposed upon this new identity. The new personality, in its small astral body, does visit with other portions of the entire identity. [...]

[...] You may close your eyes or leave them open, as you prefer, but sense within yourselves your own inner identity. [...]

[...] A reality in which you are intimately concerned and feel within yourselves the inner identity recognizing that which it now sees and perceives. [...]

[...] But the vitality that draws you, and the vitality that is within each of you is the same vitality that changes the seasons that you know and that gives your physical existence its meaning that insures the survival of your identity. [...]

[...] The twin who was in the military found his sense of identity as a soldier within the system, but he had great faith in the system... [...] and at that time you envied him that security and that sense of identity within the system in which he believed. [...]
