“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(11:57 PM.) I have one small but important personal note for Ruburt. [...]

These sessions also show Seth as he relates to others in personal contact. [...]

[...] The inner ego is formed about characteristics and abilities that have been dominant in previous personalities, characteristics which the entity has developed through its experience in various lives.

[...] The inner ego contains the various purposes toward which the entity, as seen in its various personalities, has been working to achieve.

[...] In many cases it is the I who dreams, bringing valuable information to the personal subconscious, information that may be then used for the benefit of the outer ego itself.

[...] It is not actually composed of the past egos, but of those dominant aspects of the various personalities. [...]

[...] The initial M somehow connected, though it may not necessarily be the initial of a person’s name. [...]

The M did refer to the person Philip mentioned during rest period. [...]

On the other hand, he should also protect himself from personal remarks made by the chiropractor, through suggestion of his own, although this situation is better than it was. [...]

[...] More of a personal nature.

Now, you take a person gifted as a writer and constantly apply the suggestion that to the contrary the person cannot write. That person will soon stop his efforts. [...]

[...] No matter how wasteful with words a person might seem to be, each one contains an amazing economy, and is chosen precisely because it is a perfect carrier for certain intents or feelings that are all organized by that word. [...]

[...] He completely forgot that personalities have their own choices to make. He had also been reading about the great percentage of successes with faith healers, for example, and he considered this a personal failure of an important magnitude.

[...] Again, he forgot the integrity of the personality. [...]

[...] For certain portions of their personalities, under different circumstances, tempered differently, have leanings in those directions. [...]

You see, now, more clearly than you have, that your problems are the results of unfortunate personal reactions and interactions, that two are involved here rather than one.

[...] The background of Ruburt’s personality was unfortunate, and fortunate.

(“His personality chose this background, didn’t it?”)

[...] When you feel envious now, you envy his success, but you are not jealous of him as a person.

(Then in the 754th session, on August 25, Seth gave an excellent dissertation on what he called “the stamp of identity” — explaining how the individual psychically marks certain exterior aspects of reality and “makes them his or her own,” in tune with personal inner symbols. [...]

[...] Seth did continue with personal material for both of us. [...]

(Anyhow, Seth finished his personal material this way:

[...] Joseph is even now involved in typing my previous manuscript (The “Unknown” Reality). It was written in such a way that it tied the personal experience of Ruburt and Joseph in with a greater theoretical framework, so that one could not be separated from the other.

[...] They exist simultaneously with the present personality, but the present personality as a rule cannot pick them up, so to speak. [...]

[...] In other words, the previous personalities of past lives.

[...] It is the ego’s persistent discrimination in choosing the stimuli to which it will react that in a large measure determines the nature of physical time as it appears to the personality. [...]

[...] In portraits, while the inner skeletal structure must be hinted at, and while the figure should be well done, still there should be the suggestion of the personality going beyond the image, and of the personality’s energy radiating outward.

You should in any case whenever possible sketch outdoors, for you are personally renewed by such an encounter, And the implications are very different. [...]

[...] (Pause.) From someone else here… Your figures, to get the feeling of depth and breadth, this is not to get the feeling simply of the flesh and bone within the flesh, but to suggest the personal energy and vitality that is in a riot, to be loose within the flesh.

[...] We have on two evenings visited the home in question, and we have personally done our best in directing the healing energy of the universe to this woman.

(The following sessions, containing personal materials have been deleted from the record:

Each personality takes on certain challenges and deals with them in its own order. [...]

(This was the end of personal material. [...]

3. Many physical conditions have an allergic connection—the person “allergic” to certain portions of the self— so that kind of stress can be overall quite beneficial.

[...] These personalities willingly take roles, knowing that they are roles, in order to lead the others toward the necessary realization and development. [...] These personalities from other levels of existence oversee the play, so to speak, and appear among the actors. [...]

[...] Other realities have entirely different systems, but all personalities have inner senses that are attributes of consciousness, and through these inner senses communications are maintained about which the normally conscious self knows little. [...]

[...] I also thought portions of the manuscript itself were intriguing, quite acute, mixed up with Fred’s obsessions and compulsions, his personal life and family, his far-out ideas, his attempts and frustrations as he tried to use the manuscript as a vehicle toward understanding himself as he attempted to uncover the secrets of his personality: He thought them locked away from his understanding by the very device he had chosen of speaking for Seth. [...]

[...] The personal massage also speaks its own kind of love and healing. [...]

[...] If you get into the habit, however, of tuning into your own stream of consciousness you will find the person that sometimes will seem quite a stranger to you. And that person will be yourself. [...]

[...] Now you are deceptive, slyly, in your own manner, to yourself, for it seems to you that you are very aware of your emotions, and that they are clear and out in front of you, and that you are an emotional person, and yet you hide them deeply and the emotions that you show are not the emotions often that you feel. [...]

[...] She lit a cigarette and looked off to one side and down, her attention already turned inward as she prepared to psychically join a very familiar “energy personality essence,” as Seth calls himself.)

We will later discuss the nature of mass reality, but for now we are dwelling upon the personal aspects. [...]

3. In Hinduism and Buddhism, karma is thought of as the total moral sum of an individual’s acts in any one life — thus determining the person’s fate or destiny in the next. [...]

On occasion even in waking life a personality may spontaneously shift gears, so to speak, and suddenly find itself for a second or perhaps a few moments within another such realm. [...]

[...] The symbols may then be used as methods of suggestion that will be tailored for you personally. [...]

[...] The Speakers therefore may appear within dreams as historical characters, as prophets, as trusted old friends, or in whatever guise will impress the particular personality.

[...] I will speak of the entity, the personalities, the reincarnations, the diverse personality fragment groupings, the planes with which you are similar or can understand, and ultimately try to deal with your questions, implied if not spoken, as to where entities came from to begin with.

In the same way that you latch upon one personal biological history, you latch upon but one mass earth history. [...]

[...] She was a different person to each of you. [...]

[...] Also see the 514th session in Chapter 2 of Seth Speaks, and the 668th session in Chapter 19 of Personal Reality.

[...] It rings and sings through the universe and through your entire personality. [...]
