“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] The ego, in other words, the “exterior” self that you think of as your self — that portion of you maintains its safety and its seeming command precisely because inner layers of your own personality constantly uphold it, keep the physical body operating, and maintain communications with the multitudinous stimuli that come both from outside conditions and inside conditions. [...]

[...] … There is a constant subconscious interchange of information between all layers of the whole self.”

“Some events will be perceived by all layers of the self, however, though in their own fashion, and experienced as a unit. [...]

[...] You constantly project and constantly emit energy in meaningful patterns on as many layers of activity as possible.

But this illness is not so accepted by the whole self, or by the deeper layers of the personality, although certain general tendencies from past lives have aided the personality to strike out physically against his own organism in such a manner.

If the illness did not exist on so many layers, then indeed it would not be so tenacious.

The inner self and the deeper layers of the subconscious are relatively free however from the ego’s false gods, and it is for this reason that precognitions are at all possible. For these layers of the self are simply able to perceive a larger portion of action than the ego is able or willing to perceive. [...]

[...] These experiences will, therefore, be reflected not only in the dream state, but in other layers of activity.

[...] In the most important dream work, done in the deep protected sleep periods, the symbols are powerful enough and yet condensed enough so that they can be broken down, used in a series of seemingly unrelated dreams as connectives, retain their original strength and still appear in different guises, becoming in each succeeding dream layer more and more specific.

[...] In a curious fashion, such letting go of effort might well result in an increased abundance of creativity, for example, but the mental and psychological set allows an individual to become more aware of the basic motivations of the personality, that show themselves quite clearly through the impulses, and through desires—particularly when they are not overlain by layers of “I must,” “I should,” or “I must do this or that.” [...]

[...] I told you also that the topmost layers of the subconscious contain personal memories and beneath — racial memory. The personality is not actually layered, of course, but continuing with the necessary analogy, beneath the racial memories you look out upon another dimension of reality with the face of this other self-conscious part of you.

Material like this is sifted through many layers of subconscious conceptions and is subsequently colored to some degree. [...]

[...] Only a very sophisticated instrument was used, she said, to soften the top layer of the stone so that it was “like frosting, which could then be easily carved. [...]

(“But first of all,” she added as we continued to talk, “either that instrument or another one was used to isolate the top layer of the stone from the rest of it so that it wasn’t weakened. [...]

5. BETWEEN TWO LAYERS OF CARDBOARD

[...] Bill said the material for the ad, [the plates], was protected by two layers of heavy cardboard.

[...] The unrealized physical connections that might have occurred, but did not, are worked out in other layers of reality.

[...] You become extremely engrossed in the activity, but you also know in deeper layers of your personality that your existence and the existence of the race will continue.

This could not happen until all layers of his personality—

[...] The ego simply will be bypassed, but the other layers of the self, and the neurological structures particularly, will continue to operate as always. [...]

[...] It must be sifted through the layers of the medium’s personality. [...]

[...] This is difficult simply because the data is legitimate to important layers of the personality, and you can see extrasensory perceptions as they merge with other associations.

(Seth’s statements on page 207, to the effect that even incorrect test data is legitimate to important layers of the personality, is probably an important one in our opinion. [...]

[...] The subconscious layers of the self dwell also in many realities, and here I speak of actual fields and not fantasies.

They occur, comparatively speaking, just above that layer which Jung refers to as the collective unconscious. [...]

The eye movements noted in the beginning of REM sleep are only indications of dream activity that is closely connected with the physical layers of the self. These periods mark not the onset of dreams but the return of the personality from deeper layers of dream awareness to more surface ones. [...]

[...] These points of light were many-layered, she said, as though she looked at a picture of a galaxy that was not flat. [...]
