“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

From this standpoint these are fragment personalities; therefore, they have your memories up to that point of their initiation, and they continued on from there. [...] Such personalities can be created and are created under varying conditions too many to enumerate.

Now, in the life of each personality there are, of course, moments of deep crisis and decision, where a personality decides upon one of various possible choices. [...]

[...] There was no feeling that any particular personality was giving me the information, yet there was the certainity that the words were being delivered from somewhere or someone outside my own reality. [...]

A few days later, on October 17, Sue had a dream in which Seth described probabilities in more personal terms. [...]

Every subconscious personality then would see and hear the same dream, as many persons may watch the same movie; and as each person in a theater interprets the symbolism of the drama differently, so does each layer of the subconscious interpret differently the same elements of one dream.

[...] For purposes of analogy only, imagine that each subconscious layer is personified into a personality, who is then subjected to rendition of a dream or more, who watches a screen upon which the dream images flicker.

Without dreams the whole self would have no way of holding its various manifestations together, and the so-called conscious present personality would soon falter. [...]

I will here give a brief personal example.

(Also while on this walk, Jane had the thought that death approaches a personality when the personality becomes less and less able to focus his energies fully on this plane, when he can no longer control his physical image as well as in the past. [...]

[...] His subconscious, on an uppermost personal level, is concerned with infantile fears of course.

[...] However, there was a deep sense of bewilderment upon Ruburt’s part with his friend, who is a mother, since neither of them as adolescents considered motherhood as a part of their personal futures.

[...] An added little personal note, if I may be permitted.

[...] Personally, I do not think I would know her if we met.

[...] Otherwise she is a rather solitary person—but her desire for such encounters exists with no effort on her part in Framework 2.

[...] The meeting then originally was “planned” in Framework 2. In case your young visitor—the woman (Carol) now—did not meet you, she had insisted in her mind that she would meet someone who knew you or had some personal connection somehow.

She was drawn to shop when she did for that reason, and also because of the personal connection—how strange that she should have anything in common with these visitors from Canada. [...]

The “substitute” was a personality seemingly deluded, but in his delusion he knew that each person is resurrected. [...]

[...] Affirmation is the acceptance of yourself in your present as the person that you are. [...]

[...] It often hides a distorted, puffed-up, denied self-pride, because no man or woman can really accept a theory that denies personal self-worth.

[...] The male image of God was used because of the sex orientation of the times, but beyond this the Christ personality said, “…the kingdom of God is within (among) you” (Luke 17:21).

[...] I use one portion of myself from many personalities that are available to my identity in these communications, and in this book. In other systems of reality, this particular Seth personality that I, the larger Seth identity adopt here, would not be understood.

[...] Therefore I would not communicate as a male personality who has lived many physical existences, though this is a legitimate and valid portion of my identity.

[...] Also, one not only has to penetrate the reality of the person being read, but that of the medium doing the reading. [...]

[...] There are certain simple steps that can be followed, whenever you find yourself in a difficult situation, whether the condition is one of poor health, a stressful personal involvement with another, a financial dilemma, or whatever.

[...] It would provide variety and a sense of accomplishment aside from any other more personal material Seth may give. [...]

[...] The idea of a personal universe will be emphasized.

[...] As I told Jane after the session, I realized that Prentice-Hall’s treatment of our books reflects our own ambiguous attitudes-—we want her books to be well known, but don’t want to get involved in the process personally—but, perversely, that doesn’t stop me from getting mad at Prentice-Hall, even if they are doing what we want them to. [...]

[...] When he announces to you a new bodily feeling of release, to him personally it is as if he discovered a new planet.

[...] It seems highly impractical in that system of belief to tell an individual that he or she knows the best patterns of behavior to follow, to suggest that each person knows how much sleep he or she needs, or that left alone you will pick a correct diet—a diet geared to you. [...]

[...] The true variety and depth of the various realities and personalities she reaches are qualities that are uniquely hers, and they often defy the written word.)

[...] The atoms and molecules that compose all objects, whether it be the body of a person, a table, a stone or a frog, know the great passive thrust of creativity that lies beneath their own existence, and upon which their individuality floats, distinct, clear and unassailable.

Ruburt himself, unconsciously but also to some extent consciously, has been more intrigued with questions concerning consciousness and personality — the role of the ego consciousness, for example — since beginning his novel, Oversoul 7 (in late March, 1972).

[...] He does not realize that on this level, now, and regardless of my independence and other issues involved, that he creates the personalities free of time, organizes them under the leadership of the conscious mind, and assigns them tasks of great validity and importance, which are then carried out.

(9.35.) Each person knows intuitively that his or her own experiences somehow matter, and that there is a meaning, however obscured, that connects the individual with a greater creative pattern. Each person senses now and then a private purpose, and yet many are filled with frustration because that inner goal is not consciously known or clearly apprehended.

(At supper time this evening I told Jane that tonight she was going to  start dictating a new book for Seth, the “energy personality essence” for whom she speaks while she’s in trance — and that she was going to do the notes also. [...]

I am writing this book through a personality known as Jane Roberts. [...]

In the natural biological flow of a person’s life, there are periods of varying intensities, in which love and its expression fluctuates, and tends toward different courses. [...] Instead, the young person is stereotyped.

[...] If those drives in either sex do not conform in expression to those expected of the male or female, then such young persons become confused. [...]

Instead, I am saying that deeper bonds of biological and spiritual love lie at the basis of all personal and cultural relationships, a love that transcends your ideas of sexuality. [...]

[...] The young selfhood is freer in its identification, and as yet has not been taught to identify its own personality with its sex exclusively.

The human personality is therefore endowed sexually and psychologically with a freedom from strict sexual orientation. [...]

[...] The exterior core of dreams is also blemished to that degree, but the inner core of dreams provides a constant new influx of material, feedback, and insight from the psyche, so that the personality is not at the mercy of its exterior experience only — not confined to environmental feedback only, but ever provided with fresh intuitive data and direction.

[...] Dreams serve to dull the impact of the day’s events just past, while the meaning of those activities sifts through the various levels of the personality, settling into compartments of intent and belief. [...]

[...] As a result, now, a person in any given hour is aware of events happening at the other end of the world. [...] You cannot kick an “enemy” who does not live in your village or country; an enemy, furthermore, whom you do not even know personally. [...]

[...] Again speaking historically, in the past the private person in any given hour was aware at once only of those events happening in his immediate environment. [...]

[...] It’s like there’s a tremendous amount of work being done behind the sessions, so I can get the data — but this isn’t like the channels from Seth [as described in the 616th session in Chapter 2 of Personal Reality].”

[...] I will have some personal recommendations next time. [...]

[...] You are looking at a person that exists now in your imagination. Certain portions of that person, as you know, would have been satisfied with drawing comics, or doing certain kinds of commercial work. That person was committed to a love of drawing but not to a life of art. [...]

[...] The natural man, the natural person, knows that art provides its own sense of creative power. [...]

[...] There are all different kinds of artistic development, of course, some more than others directly concerned with the play of life itself upon the artistic capacity, so that generally speaking, now, there are certain kinds of developments that in your world require the personality’s encounter with years of experience. [...]

[...] I told her I was primarily interested in but two things, both personal: her reactions to Mass Events and God of Jane in connection with her symptoms, and what was going on in her backside and hips. [...]

[...] The telling itself makes the affair seem complex—but whether or not you are dealing with private behavior, with the treatment of one person in regard to his or her own impulses, or whether you are dealing with a mass event of political nature, involving the enforced blockage of impulses on the part of one group toward another, you are necessarily cutting down on the exercise of free will. [...]

[...] To some extent or another there are always social as well as private aspects to a person’s state of health. [...]

[...] Jane closed her eyes as Seth, and when she opened them that personality was gone. [...]

[...] I do not mean you personally necessarily. [...] It does become safer, and even you personally this time can see Prentice as a creative adjunct with which you can work.

(Tonight John himself told Jane that the success of Personal Reality is “phenomenal,” meaning that it has sold close to 40,000 copies hardcover its first year out.)

[...] In an unsafe universe you run your personal life along certain lines. [...]

[...] There are personal connections between the woman and the man at Fell. [...]

(But, I think, in those terms there can be an appreciable lag before an original perception-event takes on any special significance for the concerned person or persons. [...]

[...] One Sumari may have many deeply rewarding personal relationships. [...] Since each person is unique, the various Sumari characteristics will then appear quite differently. [...]

[...] These persons, for instance, may be utterly unknown, and usually are, for as a rule they care not a bit about explaining their interior activities to others — nor, for that matter, even to themselves. [...]

Now these may be objects, or representations, rather than persons, but I have the impression of two persons, and the impression that they are both women. [...]

[...] One bending down or over… Now these may be objects, or representations, rather than persons, but I have the impression of two persons… In any case these two objects seem to be together, toward the lower center of the object perhaps, holding the object this way.” [...]

There is no basic difference you see between a hallucinated object and a so-called physical object, except for the number of persons who perceive them.

[...] One bending down or over, perhaps a woman, and another smaller person, facing each other. [...]

Associations are highly personal, bringing together in thought and in dreams highly individualistic constructs in which actual events and fantasized ones come together. [...]

[...] The potential for the creation of events is so staggering in number and yet out of those highly personal charged associations spring the specific concrete events of experience.

All of that is known in Framework 2. There, personal and world associations form their own kinds of patterns. [...]

[...] Last month we were informed through Tam and personal letter from Switzerland that a foreign translation of Seth Speaks may be in the works, but nothing concerning Spain that we know of. [...]

[...] Some of his related material there had been fairly personal, but we’d left it in place because of its general application. [...]

[...] Either place could well be made to suit your specific needs, and each reflects strong elements of your personalities.

(Once again, some very personal portions of Seth’s delivery are excerpted. [...]

Reading this section of “Unknown” Reality, each person should be able to feel an identification with a family. [...]
