“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] This altered ego is aware of large portions of inner reality that were previously denied. [...]

As each separate identity then seeks to know and experience its other portions then All That Is learns who and what it is. [...]

[...] All of you did not have the same parents, for example, and these are portions of probable situations existing in your own parents’ separate lives, as you think of their lives.

Other portions have not. The knowledge is available to all portions of the entity. The knowledge is not as direct or significant however, to those portions that have not so participated.

[...] Even the emotion in the first portion, spontaneously expressed and creatively formed into art, is a good indication.

[...] According to the physical validity or the extent of physical reality to be achieved, the physical body of the originator then lends, or transposes or transfers, portions of its own chemical structure. [...]

There are many portions of the self, as you know. [...] These portions of the self are all simultaneous; in various stages of consciousness you become aware of other portions of the self, and an I identifies itself with one or another of these.

When consciousness leaves the body, it identifies itself with one of these portions, and travels in its form. [...]

[...] You must remember that all of these portions of the self exist at once, and that the whole inner self knows them as a part of its own identity. [...]

[...] Your own consciousness also travels faster than the speed of light, and big portions of you does understand, to some degree, the nature of our reality. [...] There are portions of your own identity, in other terms, that dwell in these probable systems that have not known physical reality and that come to observe those portions of itself that have so developed in that fashion. [...] Unfortunately, we do not communicate easily with the portion of you that can understand. You are not in communication with that portion of yourselves that is not physical, that was never physical and that will not know physical existence at all, and since you identify with the physical self then, indeed, we come to you in the guise of ghosts that you do not understand our forms that you cannot see. [...]

[...] In trying to deny these early facts of your existence you have shut off strong portions of your own energy and creative strength so that they could not operate for you in your life. [...]

[...] It is a portion of myself that is the most closely connected with earthly existence, and it is a self that I like very well, indeed. [...]

Now, to the other portion of the personality however, success was failure. This part of the personality remained relatively quiet until the other portion began to achieve its ends. This portion considered itself not only unworthy but evil. [...]

[...] Both portions of the personality are frightened. One portion fears success is coming regardless of all its attempts to hold it back. [...]

What we have here is a deep struggle between various needs, a struggle between various portions of the personality, each with their own demands and interpretations of reality.

In your world you identify as yourself only, and yet love can expand that identification to such an extent that the intimate awareness of another individual is often a significant portion of your own consciousness. [...] It is true to say, then, that a portion of you figuratively walks with this other person as he or she goes about separate from you in space.

[...] He did not identify as himself alone, but because of his love, he identified also with all those portions of nature with which he came into contact. [...]

[...] Each portion of “it” contains the whole, so theoretically as far as you are concerned, you can leave your body and be in it simultaneously. [...]

The entity, the true multidimensional self, is aware of all of its experiences, and this knowledge is to some extent available to these other portions of the self, including of course the physical self as you know it. These various portions of the self in fact will eventually (in your terms) become fully aware. [...]

[...] You are aware, then, of only one specific, delicately balanced but unique portion of physical existence. [...]

[...] I do not like the term “surface” in this regard, though I have used it to suggest the multitudinous portions of the self that are otherwise engaged — some of them as entranced in their reality as you are in yours.

[...] In your dreams you have communication with that larger portion of yourself that is your identity. [...]

[...] I do not represent any restrained or any inhibited portions of Ruburt’s own being. [...]

[...] However, each of you exists in other realities and other dimensions, and the selves that you call yourself is but a small portion of your own I.

[...] I think it quite obvious that in spite of her foreknowledge, a certain portion of her is not having any delays. This portion is either simply impatient, and perhaps not trusting of the snail’s pace at which we seem to move, or it doesn’t even know that a return home is imminent. If the former is the case, that portion would know that the quicker we get the organism out of the hospital environment the quicker a true healing can begin. [...]

[...] In this way (pause), different kinds of behavior may be exhibited, and while it would seem that many decisions are made by one portion of the self, without another portion of the self knowing anything about it, such usually is not the case. [...]

They do not trust it, nor do they trust the spontaneous portions of the self. [...]

All portions of the self are indeed conscious, and they are also basically conscious of each other, though for working purposes they may seem to be separate or isolated.

[...] Therefore, you must expand the consciousness that you know so that it is aware of this other portion of your own identity. [...] Sometimes you are aware of certain portions of it and sometimes you are aware of other portions of it. [...] That portion of you is also conscious; there is an artificial division created. [...]

Now, you were early given the idea that a portion of your personality was guilty and therefore you were relieved when you were told that there were methods whereby you could receive this guilt. [...]

[...] Now, you have a lot to do now, but consciously you are not aware of what you do, and little by little you must learn to accept greater and greater portions of your own reality in this life and future lives. [...]

[...] That meant that at that point newly activated portions of muscles and joints were working more or less in unison. [...] The muscles in the high portions of the legs, in the back, are the ones that need to be strengthened to unite the body in the flexibility that various portions of it are achieving.

[...] You could not understand the body’s performance last evening because you took it for granted, and without question, that some portion of Ruburt was challenging other portions.

[...] The body could not, standing, stretch that fully all together and maintain balance, because part of the newly stretched muscles are not as yet that strong, where other portions that he has used are.

Your own personality as you know it, that portion of you that you consider most precious, most uniquely you, will also never be destroyed or lost. It is a portion of the soul. [...]

(10:44.) This physical perception in no way alters the native, basic, unfettered perception that is characteristic of the inner self, the inner self being the portion of the soul that is within you. [...] It is a portion of the self that acts, you might say, as a messenger between the soul and the present personality. [...]

Many individuals imagine the soul to be an immortalized ego, forgetting that the ego as you know it is only a small portion of the self; so this section of the personality is simply projected onward, ad infinitum, so to speak. [...]

Various portions then of the entire self are attuned to their own intensities, picking up signals, interpreting only portions of the whole dream experience. [...] However, the dream experience, you see, represents only a portion or particular range of intensities from a larger experience. [...]

The experience of emotions and thoughts and other psychological realities that do not take up space physically within your universe, all represent portions of, small portions of, what I will for now term initial experience. [...]

One symbol will be meaningful to many portions of the personality. [...] That is, any given symbol will be the same, but it will be so chosen by the mind that it will have definite meanings to various portions of the self, and the meanings may be quite different. [...]

It is a portion that has been physical. It is a portion that can understand your (TM) being overwhelmed with work; it is a portion that can understand your being full with child (SW); it is a portion that can understand the times when you wanted to leave physical reality (CW); it is a portion that can understand the part of you (SB) that wanted to be a star; it is a portion that can understand the part of you that wanted to conquer, and is afraid to conquer (WL); it is a portion that can understand the guilt you (RC) feel for no reason; it is a portion that can understand the aspirations that you (LD) were unable to fulfill... [...]

[...] And yet, the Seth that you know, and that you find so endearing and understandable is but a small portion of my reality... the portion that can relate with you most easily.

[...] But at least I didn’t let outdated concepts dictate what portions of my own experience I could accept as real, and what portions I must reject. [...]

“It is as if there were two portions of a bridge, like a drawbridge, and these two portions must meet. [...]

[...] “No, if we could do all that, we’d know when we were going to die!” But suppose we saw beyond the point of death, discovering to our surprise that we were still conscious—not only of ourselves as we “were” but of other portions of ourselves of which we had been unaware? [...]

[...] When you find yourself, so to speak, watching what you think of as the ego, then you are in contact with this portion of the self. [...] I have hinted before of these matters, for when I say that you will use this other portion of the self to examine waking consciousness and probe beneath it, I already presuppose a you that uses this self. [...]

Obviously the self that engages upon this study is not the waking normal consciousness, which becomes instead part of that which is studied, so another portion of the self is brought into activity. [...]

[...] Another portion of the self catches it unaware, leaves no ripple upon its surface, and looks beneath it to other layers of reality. [...]

You must, you should realize, that your own personalities exist in realities of which you do not know, and yet a portion of you is so aware of these existences. [...] You are also a portion of other such personalities, but egotistically you are not aware of them. [...]

Now, let you all for a moment remain quiet as I divest myself of those characteristics that you find so human and understanding, and remember that inner portions of yourselves also have existences that are as strange. [...]

(Other Personality [later named Seth II]:) I have not traveled where you are, and yet a portion of me that you know as Seth has so traveled. [...]

Dictation then: Probabilities are an ever-present portion of your invisible psychological environment. [...] Occasionally at surface levels of consciousness, you might wonder what might have happened had you made other decisions than those you have; chosen different mates, for example, or taken up residence in other portions of the country. [...]

In that state, with the functions of the ego somewhat stilled, there is some considerable communication between various portions of the entire identity. [...]

[...] Because you are involved in an intricate psychological gestalt such as this, and because the connections mentioned earlier do exist, you can avail yourself to some extent of abilities and knowledge possessed by these other probable portions of your personality.

[...] Daily life is a focus taken on the part of that portion of the psyche you call you, and there are many other such focuses. [...]

In a strange manner I am telling you that your “life” is simply the only portion of your existence of which you are presently aware. [...]

[...] There, you can meet other portions of your own personhood that exist simultaneously with your own.
