“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

To rip away the symptoms becomes a ripping away of a portion of the self, even if a most disagreeable portion. [...]

[...] If the self accepts the symptoms, and in all cases of illness to some extent or another this is true, then paradoxically a portion of the self identifies with the symptoms.

[...] The self that you know is only a small portion of that self, boxed in, so to speak, by its limited perception.

[...] And in a gathering, say, of three people watching the same TV drama, each of them might be interpreting different portions of the program so that those portions correlate with their individual dreams of the night before, and serve to bring them their dream messages in ways they can accept.

Great discrimination is used, so that, for example, certain portions of one newspaper item is noticed over others because that item represents some of the dream’s message. Another portion might come from a neighbor, of course—but from the dreamer’s interpretation of a neighbor’s remark that further brings him the dream message.

[...] Now, even though people might forget their dreams, they often react to certain portions of TV dramas, or events that correlate with the dreams of the night before.

[...] One way or another, however, you will hit upon some kind of situation—a portion of a TV situation—in which a tire is blown. [...]

The consciousness so attuned however is only a small portion of the individual’s total consciousness. [...] However they are also aware and conscious of huge portions of themselves that are not so imprinted. [...]

[...] These personality structures are like you a portion of basic reality, or All That Is. [...]

Of itself such an experience will not give you psychological mobility through other portions that compose your own becoming psychological structure. [...]

[...] Any expansion of consciousness must also include this portion of the self.

[...] I reread portions of all of the sessions to her during the next half-hour, then turned her on her side. [...] Then I massaged Oil of Olay into her feet, lower legs, hands and forearms, talking to those portions, each in turn. [...]

He was talking to a portion of yourself—

It is only because civilized man has somewhat overspecialized in the use of one kind of knowledge over another that people fear the unconscious, spontaneous portions of the self. [...] Since the spontaneous portions are so related to bodily activity, they are very important in facilitating good health, and when people feel divorced from their spontaneous selves, they also feel divorced to the same extent from their own bodies.

It is indeed as if some inner spontaneous part of the personality is far more knowledgeable than the conscious portion of which we are so rightfully proud.

[...] Nor between inner reality, which forms physical matter, and physical objects themselves, for the atoms which are manipulated to form objects are themselves a portion of consciousness, and alive in those terms. [...]

They are still but a portion of prime identity, and without them, prime identity could not know itself nor act upon itself nor develop its own abilities or potentials.

Now in the same way that consciousness originated the physical dimension, you as portions of consciousness continue to maintain and create it anew. [...]

[...] Since he is moving more, just about every portion of the body takes new positions. [...]

The exercises—or rather, the exercising—automatically stimulates all portions of the body, and will lead to periods of relaxation.

You must realize that the inner portions of the self are aware of the greater framework in which individuality takes place. [...]

The eyeglass dream portion: the old black frames of the glasses represented old beliefs. [...]

Remember that you only perceive a portion of your own reality. And remember that you only perceive a portion of my reality. [...]

(To Brad.) In the last portion of my talk, in the very last portion, I was speaking directly to you. [...]

[...] For these characteristics by which you know me are but one portion of my personality and my reality. [...]

[...] You are alive, therefore, in the midst of small deaths; portions of your own image crumble away moment by moment and are replaced, and you scarcely give the matter a thought. [...]

Consciousness — human consciousness — is not dependent upon the tissues, and yet there is no physical matter that is not brought into being by some portion of consciousness. [...]

As mentioned earlier, all through your lifetime, portions of that body die, and the body that you have now does not contain one particle of physical matter that “it” had, say ten years ago. [...]

(Pause at 10:11.) In many cases of senility, for example, the strongly organized portions of personality have already left the body, and are meeting the new circumstances. [...]

Again, certain portions are sore at times. [...]

SESSION 705 (DELETED PORTION)

[...] One very large portion of the personality is totally committed to our endeavors. Another portion has so far withheld complete commitment, though the rejection seems greater by contrast. [...]

[...] The conscientious portions of the personality are of great benefit in that area. [...]

[...] Large portions of the self were won over, and the symptoms began to lessen, and the energy to return. [...]

As emotional storms may be the result of a lack of discipline or of knowledge, or of control of one or more portions of the self, bringing about a corresponding exaggeration or growth of other portions of the self, so also erratic physical storms come from the same causes on a collective basis, but with the energy directed outward and often turned to a constructive purpose. [...]

[...] It contains portions of the self that are—I hesitate, you see, to say superior, for he is not to get conceited—but portions of the self that contain more abilities than those usually held by the ego.

[...] The book was written by other portions of the self than the ego, and it was not written at the ego’s wish alone.

[...] It is banking on those portions of your own personality that you feel but cannot see in the ordinary mirror. [...] Now each of you in your own way, particularly in the dream state, are intimately acquainted with this invisible portion of yourselves. [...]

Now I am not trying to tell you what to do, I am trying to release the portion of you that knows playfully what to do. [...] You are to come to release portions of your own reality and then watch yourselves run or fly or soar. [...]

[...] I am the self that I see in the ordinary mirror and that is all, or you can realize that the mirror only captures a small portion of your entire image. [...]

In the entire fabric of your existence, this life is a brilliant, eternally unique and precious portion, but only a portion, from which you emerge with joy and understanding whether you die tomorrow or in years to come. [...]

Again, while the conscious mind is meant to direct the flow of your experience through your beliefs, and to materialize them, the actual mechanics are taken care of automatically by other portions of the self. [...]

They are closed enough to retain identity and separateness of characteristic natures, but because they are all formed from inner vitality, they are actually interrelated; and when I describe fields or systems I describe many portions of one reality, many faces of one reality.

In a most ingenious manner, then, all of these systems, while individual, are portions of one unified reality.

[...] The inner self adopts an ego in order to allow manipulation within the physical universe, and yet part of the ego is composed of portions from the inner self, while the bulk of the ego is allowed to develop through physical heredity and environment.

[...] If an effect is felt in any one portion of human experience, then you can be sure that such an effect is felt in all other possible ways, whether or not such an effect is immediately obvious. [...]

Each person is a vital (long pause), conscious portion of the universe. [...]

The inner ego, however, always identifies with its source-identity as a beloved, individualized portion of the universe. [...]

(This is the first portion of the 629th session for November 29, 1972.)

SESSION 629 (DELETED PORTION)

2. My existence enriches all other portions of life, even as my own being is enhanced by the rest of creation.

3. It is good, natural, and safe for me to grow and develop and use my abilities, and by so doing I also enrich all other portions of life.

Those attitudes are inbred in the smallest microscopic portions of the body — a part of each atom and cell and organ, and they serve to trigger all of the body’s responses that promote growth and fulfillment. [...]

[...] A complete rejuvenation process is occurring, involving all portions of the body. [...]

(Long pause.) There is no part of Ruburt’s body that is not changing, as each portion becomes more responsive. [...]

[...] When you realize that, then you reach those portions of your fellow men that are with you. [...]

[...] Within a certain portion of dream reality, ideas or thoughts can be translated into pseudoobjects, and transported. [...]

[...] It is not therefore—that is, such an area is not, therefore—a separate thing in itself, but simply a portion of vitality that contains no camouflage, and is therefore again unrecognizable to those within any given system.

The tangerine then would be compared to a group of many systems, and yet it would represent in itself but one small portion of an unperceived whole. [...]

[...] A portion of the self would retain these experiences. [...]
