“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

For our long-haired blonde friend, (Marilyn Wilbur), shortly a new element, another person who will play a significant part in her life, for either a long or brief period. The person either connected to her, or to her friend—a new personality element. [...]

You are becoming aware of higher levels of your own personality and you are trying to interpret them. [...] Because of your own personality makeup you will lean to physical interpretations, and physical sensations in an attempt to understand nonphysical impressions.

The so-called medium is a severely-damaged personality. [...]

She is sincere, and sincerely deluded, a psychopathic personality who delights in arousing fear in others. [...]

[...] It is formed partially by abilities inherent within all personalities, psychic abilities, and it is composed of energy. It is not a secondary personality, for it exists in quite a different dimension than secondary personalities.

[...] There are also other areas or levels that are part of his whole personality. In our case a gestalt personality or a psychological bridge

[...] In many cases this translation is done by the intervening psychological framework, which is simply the psychological point closest to the meeting of Ruburt’s personality and my own, for he does not fade out as a personality. [...]

Then when we are successful there is a divergence from his associations so that he says the correct word, even though the correct word, for him personally, would be the wrong word as far as his personal associations are concerned.

[...] Although you have chosen to form a particular group of qualities into a field pattern of a particular personality, upon which you focus the bulk of your energy, there are also other more shadowy, less well-constructed possibilities of personality selves that exist loosely within the psychic framework of the dominant personality, and these also have their influence. [...]

Your own present personalities are merely the result of the particular qualities and ego-images (hyphen) upon which you have chosen to focus your energies and your intent. Initially, before existence upon the physical plane this time, you could just as easily have focused upon a different quality-personality gestalt, although your choice most probably would be in line with a large field of possibilities, possible according to the desires of your entity.

Secondary personalities are gestalts of more or less loosely affiliated psychic events. Unable to find value fulfillment in terms of physical growth and construction as the primary personality can, they seek fulfillment along more accessible lines.

[...] These secondary personalities cannot be referred to as full selves, yet they can certainly not be set aside as so-called not-selves. They come into some prominence and fulfillment through dreams, and through enticing the main personality at times into the adoption of conscious or unconscious thoughts which would ordinarily not be chosen by the primary self, and therefore at times altering the course of the primary self.

I ask you to realize that within yourself is the prime identity that gave birth to your own personalities...and within yourselves there are personalities that you have forgotten. There are personalities that you have not yet become; but you can see, you can see a pathway and you can travel through it. [...]

Now despite my gentle, good-humored remarks about the personality you call Seth II, let me tell you something—You cannot translate the dimensions of his personality. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s personality is a walk [warphandwritten in margin], in dimensions, but your personalities are also walks [warps] in dimensions... [...]

(The class was discussing the “other personality” (Seth II] when Seth entered the discussion.)

[...] Some personalities, survival personalities, because of their personal characteristics, are more able to directly manipulate physical matter than others, more temperamentally suited to it, and consider it in itself a challenging endeavor.

[...] (Pause.) AA (the personality inhabiting the table) is also learning. [...]

[...] You will have more direct evidence for the survival of the human personality.

[...] Such personalities must learn at their end, and this learning is often accomplished along with corresponding learning on the part of a developing medium.This is what you have here. [...]

[...] Although you do not find me as warmly personal as the Seth with whom (staring directly at me) you have been acquainted, I am a personality. [...]

(This material re personality follows our talk before the session.)

A personality is needed or the information would appear highly chaotic, and you would not know how to unscramble it, even if you were able to receive it. [...]

[...] The voice was also a bit more emphatic and fast; perhaps this passage to date reflects the most individuality shown by this personality.)

A developed personality will perceive them as he would perceive new conditions in the physical environment. An undeveloped personality will keep his characteristic attitude and capabilities. There is some difference, naturally, but the degree of perception is determined by the personality itself.

The image had no specific personal meaning for him at all. He simply perceived a woman, a survival personality if you prefer. [...]

[...] I thought the other voice belonged to an older man with glasses and white hair, though I did not see this person. [...]

(I have long been aware that the yoga exercises have a powerful effect on me personally, and that I evidently end up in a dissociated state at times after doing them. [...]

[...] Apropos of Jane’s efforts to personally do what she can, she received a visitor recently who displayed signs of a secondary personality….

[...] He spoke of another personality far more powerful than he — though, he said, he could force a roomful of a hundred-and-fifty people to follow his commands. The other personality, however, originated in another galaxy, and came as a friend to help and protect him.

[...] Parallel with the belief that vision will fail, you may have the before-mentioned belief that hearing will dim, and these two ideas may be reinforced by a belief that age automatically makes you less a person, turning you into an individual who can no longer relate in the daily pattern of environment. [...]

[...] No effort had been made to reconcile directly opposing beliefs, until the personality itself was quite literally polarized.

[...] Sometimes this is done when such a person chooses to undergo a traumatic experience — often one part of the personality will plan this quite deliberately while the other portion closes its eyes. These events can seem to be disasters or near disasters, and yet they can sufficiently mobilize the entire personality for survival’s sake. In a moment of high critical tension the personality may put itself together again.

If chemical alteration were made in Augustus Two he would return to the Augustus One personality, but the change would be artificial — not permanent, and possibly quite dangerous.

[...] Sometimes the framework includes another method of cure, in which portions of each conflicting side of the personality break off to form a clearer psychological structure which can communicate with the other two, act as a referee, and reconcile the opposing beliefs held by each.

This is done many times without the main personality realizing what is really going on. [...]

One person may desire fame, and even possess certain abilities that he or she wants to use, and that will indeed lead to that claim. Such a person may also believe that fortune or fame leads to unhappiness, licentiousness, or in some other way brings about disastrous conditions. [...]

[...] Some others’ are exclamation points, so that later it can be said that the person’s death loomed almost greater in importance than the life itself. [...] Many such young persons prefer to die at that time, where they feel the possibilities for fulfillment are intricate and endless. [...]

We will shortly return to a discussion of such “causes,” and their relationship with the person’s feeling that life has or does not have a meaning.

[...] Such persons may then find themselves breaking off good relationships with those of the other sex for no apparent reason, or forcing the other party to break with them. [...]

[...] It fits the me of me, the personality most clearly approximating the whole self I am, or am trying to be. Joseph is your whole self more or less, the image of the sum of your various personalities in the past and in the future.

Personalities.

Detached personalities.

Partial (s no) personalities keep returning. [...]

[...] Dreams help form your personality, but they do not take up physical space. Your personality does not take up physical space. [...]

[...] God is more than the sum of all personalities, and yet all personalities is what He is. [...]

[...] I have had this same personality with some minor changes throughout the ages, and you are stuck with yours as I am stuck with mine. [...] I want you to realize that while I no longer inhabit your physical system, the human personality that is mine and thus has filled many physical forms, still exists. [...]

[...] With Ruburt’s eyes open, I can see you as he sees you as a particular personality in this particular space and time and then, you see, I can place you within your own development. [...]

[...] 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. [...]

His change in attitude and performance in your personal areas, is a sign of this. [...]

[...] The change for the better in your personal, physical and psychic relationship with Ruburt was a necessity for your joint out of body partnership.

[...] The desire shown in your personal life on Ruburt’s part is very important. [...]

[...] Your personality per se changes in this life. [...] The components of Ruburt’s personality and of your own, Joseph, have changed since our sessions began. Now, Ruburt’s whole personality had to assimilate the knowledge that he was receiving, but this automatically changed the personality from what it was.

[...] You can do so mentally and I will help you personally whether or not a session is involved. [...]

[...] You are separate individuals and quite separate personalities, and you will continue to exist as separate identities. [...]

This may seem to have little to do with our discussion concerning experience after death, and yet it has; for as you feel yourselves change now and experience the various alterations in your own personalities, you will not be afraid of those changes after death.

For to the whole self all personalities that compose it exist simultaneously, and personalities that would appear to you as future personalities are experienced by the whole self in the same dimension as it experiences personalities that you would call past personalities. [...]

[...] Because there is always action within action, and because of the three dilemmas of which we have spoken earlier, the new personalities projected outward into other fields of perception, or other moment points, these other personalities in turn create new ones, and the cycle is again repeated.

[...] Indeed, the ego is that portion of the personality which is plunged into a specific and intense preoccupation with a given field of action or dimension.

The whole self not only perceives these limitless moment points, but being a part of action, each whole self projects fragments and personalities from itself to all these points, creating therefore other egos, other intense focus points which are independent, which work out their own destinies and experiences, which in turn perceive any given moment point in slow motion.

[...] We had wondered at times why the entity hadn’t spoken more often; Seth has said little about his entity, and we did not ask that this personality speak tonight.

[...] See the 406th to 412th sessions for detailed material on the circumstances involving the personality we call Seth’s entity.

[...] It is necessary that we rely upon the mental equipment of the person through whom we speak, and at times we are able to activate the intellectual capacities many times above normal, in order that certain concepts be given. [...]

But we must still rely upon the mental structure of the person through whom we speak. [...]

[...] I am hardly a portion of his personality. Were I a secondary personality of his, I would exhibit those characteristics that are inhibited in his personality, though I must admit I find it difficult to discover where he is inhibited. A less inhibited personality is difficult to find.

His personality, that is the Father Trainor personality, was of necessity changed by this communication in the same manner that any experience will always change any personality.

If indeed it is understood that this personality, as with many personalities, has been materialized in feminine form, then these perfectly natural dependent feelings are found to be merely residues from previous personality patterns. [...]

[...] In the female existence of which I am speaking, it was the aggressiveness which the personality found distasteful; and in this existence we find the dependency, which you see does not fit in with the personality self-image.

The personality in the past, in past existences that is, had a history of hitting out at the organs of the various physical bodies that were its home, as other personalities sometimes have histories that include turning destructiveness outward against others. Such tendencies again are of long standing, and adopted for various reasons having to do with characteristics of the underlying personality.

The ulcer problem can indeed be solved by the personality himself. An attempt however should not be adopted by the personality, if possible, on an intense or desperate level. [...]

The ulcer simply can be cured, but this will involve on the part of the personality a disciplined program of self-understanding. [...] We do not want, for example, the personality to plunge into a solution. [...]

There is a certain knack necessary on Ruburt’s part, a difference in the way in which energy is used, a variation of method between sessions in which rather objective material is presented, and in those sessions where we attempt to make a more personal type of contact.

[...] I will give you some material that I had in mind pertaining to the dreaming self and the levels of the personality.

[...] This portion of the self can serve to keep you informed as to the balance and efficiency of the immediate operating personality.

[...] It can correct errors made, by other portions of the personality. [...]

I did want to make the point however that you are now aware in practical terms of a conscious part of the personality that appears to be independent of the ego and aware of the ego’s activities.

Whenever possible such reactions should always be expressed directly by the person involved to the person who causes the irritation, regardless of whatever steps may be taken. [...]

[...] When you are annoyed, if possible state your annoyance to the person involved, reasonably, (underlined) but at the time of the annoyance. [...]

[...] When you do not behave in such a manner, bitterness piles up, and generally speaking you are not helping the other person involved. [...]

[...] Again, this does not apply only to you personally.
