[...] Yet there are, of course, other identities with many such I-selves, each as aware and independent as your own, while also being aware of the existence of a greater identity in which they have their being. [...]

[...] Nor is there any ambiguity about identity. [...] There are physical variations of a sexual nature, so that on all levels identity includes the male and female. [...]

[...] See the 637th session: “… think now of the life of the self as one message leaping across the nerve cells of a multidimensional structure — again, as real as your body — and consider it also as a greater ‘moment of reflection’ on the part of such a many-sided personality … I am aware that [these analogies] can make you feel small or fear for your identity. [...]

The experience of any given unit, constantly changing, affects all other units … Give us time … It is difficult to explain because your concepts of selfhood are so limited … These units contain within themselves, in your terms, all “latent” identities, but not in a predetermined fashion. [...]

What I am saying here applies to the greater identity of each reader. Give us a moment … Because you are usually so worried about preserving what you think of as your identity, we use terms like reincarnational selves or counterparts. If you truly understood the nature of your individuality, however, you would clearly see that there is no contradiction if I say that you are uniquely yourself, that your individuality has an indestructible validity that is never assailed, and when I also say that you are at the same time connected with other identities, each as sacredly inviolate as your own.

[...] In a particular fashion, that identity cannot be fully expressed within the confines of any one form, any more than yours can. [...] In his inner vision these appeared as identical, simply so that he would identify them as portions of myself. [...]

[...] That Seth then seeded himself, so to speak, in the space-time environment you recognize — appearing through the centuries, sending out offshoots of “himself,” exploring earthly experience and developing as well as he could those potentials of his own greater identity that could best be brought to fruition within a creature context.²

[...] While you think in such terms, however, I must speak of reincarnational selves and counterparts, because you are afraid that if you climb out of what you think your identity is, then you will lose it.

Yet in such a small mass these intensities contain memories and experiences, electromagnetically coiled one within the other, through which I can travel, even as I can travel through other selves which I have known and which are a portion of my identity—and even as you, so large and bulky in your size, are still a portion of those memories that exist within my identity, and yet so beautifully unpredetermined. [...]

Our entity is composed of multitudinous selves with their own identities, many of whom have worked in this behalf. [...]

“In the sort of exploration of which I am speaking, the personality attempts to go within itself, to find its way through the veils of adopted characteristics to its own inner identity. [...]

Taken together, the Inner Senses will give each individual a picture of reality as it exists independently of physical matter, an image of the inner identity that is his own. [...]

[...] Again: what you have in sessions is not my complete identity. [...] At times, however, my identity comes through clearly enough so that, comparatively speaking, I can exist independently, as myself, without Ruburt’s assistance.

Organized religion professes to hold the opposite idea, that man’s identity is independent of physical matter—after death. [...]

[...] In doing so, I’m convinced that we will discover a greater individuality, uniqueness, and sense of identity. [...]

[...] The inherent relationship would snap into focus during a session, however, when the supraconscious identity would take over.

In your terms, consciousness is able to hold its own sense of identity by accepting one probability, one physical life, for example, and maintaining its identity through a lifetime. [...] As it does so mature it forms a new, larger framework of identity, as the cell forms into an organ on another level.

[...] It is extremely important that you bear in mind the importance of free will, and the presence of your own identity as you think of it. [...]

[...] Consciousness rides upon and within the pulses mentioned earlier, and forms its own organizations of identity. [...]

[...] Groups of probable selves, then, can and do form their own identity structure, which is quite aware of the probable selves involved. [...]

[...] It is composed, that is, each inner self is composed, structurally of a particular range of electrical intensities with which various personalities have their identities insured, since their identity is composed of particular intensities within the range.

Various intensity identities may, therefore, appear within other fields while still retaining actuality in their own.

[...] The individual had lost a sense of the reality and meaning and purpose of his own identity. They sought their identity, therefore, in other realms of existence because they could not understand what it was in this one and so this is meant to lead you to open those gates, that you know exist, to your own inner self. [...]

[...] Through these experiences, therefore, you are meant to seek out the meaning of your own identity and the experiences should serve as an impetus to you to open up those doorways of intuition that you know of but have not used and have not opened. [...]

[...] It contains potentials unlimited, but it must work out its own identity and form its own worlds. [...] You do this when you imagine that your present self is your entire personality, or insist that your identity be maintained unchanged through an endless eternity.

[...] The soul or entity — in other words, your most intimate powerful inner identity — is and must be forever changing. [...]

[...] An identical or seemingly identical pattern may reemerge in quotes “at any time,” again and again, if the proper coordinates exist for activation.

[...] It is my identity that remains and it is your identity that remains. [...]

[...] Your own identities will enlighten you. [...]

[...] But you must understand that they are the characteristics that I show you—there are other realities of personality and identity that are mine—just as there are other realities within your own personalities and you cannot laugh these away. [...] I can tell you how to meet your own identities, and I have told you, but no one can make you look into yourselves. [...]

[...] You can attain a true sense of identity. [...]

When I see the shadows that you accept as yourselves and when I see the brilliant and free identities that you are, then it is impossible for me not to speak to you in such a manner. [...]

Now: Since we realize that our identity is not dependent upon form, therefore, of course, we do not fear changing it, knowing that we can adopt any form we desire.

Now it takes study, development, and experience before an identity can learn to hold its own stability in the face of such constant stimuli; and many of us have gotten lost, even forgetting who we were until we once more awakened to ourselves. [...]

[...] On the other hand, we allow them full rein, knowing that we are motivated by an inner stability that can well afford spontaneity and creation, and realizing that spiritual and psychological identity are dependent upon creative change.

[...] It is the inner ego, and the inner vitality and the inner ego’s determination, along with the cooperation of all the cells that compose the physical body, that enables such a particular structure as the human body to exist as a separate construction, and to maintain the necessary sense of identity.

Without the determination of the inner ego, cohesion of identity would be impossible. [...]

The important point here is that identity cohesion is projected upon the human physical structure from within, that is, from the inner ego by way of the inner senses. [...]

[...] The closed-in, solitary, isolated self of which you are so proud is, as I have said, an arbitrary formation, containing the core of identity; and you seem to prefer, psychically speaking, to stay at home.

As her psychic abilities began to rapidly grow, following her initiation of the Seth material late in 1963, Jane couldn’t help but become more and more concerned about consciously enlarging her “scope of identity.” [...]

[...]

[...] Each form, embodying certain identity characteristics, has its own environment. [...]

[...] You must remember that all of these portions of the self exist at once, and that the whole inner self knows them as a part of its own identity. [...]

[...] Since all of these selves are simultaneous, it is also possible to project yourself into one of your own previous identities.

[...] Identity itself is put together in another fashion. I could have said that one mind had many variations, but then you would still try to understand the concept using your old ideas about identity itself. You grow out of identities, and into others, all the while retaining an indestructible portion that does the changing. [...]

[...] They form their own kind of adjacent identities. You would call them subspecies of consciousness, perhaps, but they are really identities that operate in a trans-species fashion.

Again, you read your own identities in a particular, specialized fashion.

Your mother and father are alive, as are Ruburt’s parents,⁴ but their realities are not pinpointed to any given island, and they are forming alliances, but always from the standpoints of their own unique identities. Your own private identities do not need fences. [...]

[...] It was determined to retain its own identity. [...]

Now in a way your mother and Ruburt were counterparts; for Ruburt lives in a trust of individual abilities toward which your mother yearned; and Ruburt gives a love to you which your mother yearned to give — yet while retaining her identity — to a man. [...]

[...] Identities can mix and merge while retaining their inviolate nature and memories. [...]

Its identity is within action. To say that its identity and its continuity or sense of continuity is within action, is not too far off, although the word continuity in this instance would be misleading.

In this case the so-called secondary personality would express the whole personality to better advantage, and actually reinforce its permanence and identity. [...]

[...] It must not on the other hand be composed of too disorganized a system of actions, for in this case it is not capable of maintaining a consistent sense of identity or purpose, and is not strong enough to act in a magnetic manner, that will attract or hold the basic energies of the personality.
