“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] At the same time it illustrated part of our relationship as it happens in sessions, in which Ruburt allows a portion of himself to step aside. He was that portion as the normal waking self, the focus personality.

He, that portion, watched television while still sensing us across the table. [...] At another level however Ruburt was projecting a portion of his psyche outward, and from his own position viewing us at least to some extent.

[...] He forgot what the session was about, remembering only one portion that seemed significant. [...]

[...] The unprojected portion of him listened. [...]

(10:14.) These include man’s ability to identify with the forces of nature, to project portions of his own psychological reality outward from himself, and then to perceive those portions in a revitalized transformation—a transformation that then indeed can alter physical reality.

(Pause.) Communications between various scattered portions of the self often appear, again, in such situations as automatic writing, speaking, the hearing of voices, or through what the person believes to be telepathic messages from others.

[...] In most cases, what you have here are expressions of strong portions of the self that are more or less purposefully kept in isolation. [...]

[...] Such cultural models are present in society to begin with, because in one way or another they express in an exaggerated form certain portions of man’s psychological reality that he does not as yet understand. [...]

Value fulfillment itself is most difficult to describe, for it combines (pause) the nature of a loving presence—a presence with the innate knowledge of its own divine complexity—with a creative ability of infinite proportions that seeks to bring to fulfillment even the slightest, most distant portion of its own inverted complexity. Translated into simpler terms, each portion of energy is endowed with an inbuilt reach of creativity that seeks to fulfill its own potentials in all possible variations—and in such a way that such a development also furthers the creative potentials of each other portion of reality (all very emphatically).

[...] They are the unstated portion of physical reality, the unmanifest medium in which your world exists. [...]

Now because All That Is contains within itself such omnipotent, fertile, divine creative characteristics, all portions of its subjective experience attained dimensions of actuality impossible to describe. [...]

[...] All That Is is, therefore, within each smallest portion of consciousness.

The ego is a very specialized portion of your greater identity. It is a portion of you that arises to deal directly with the life that the larger You is living. [...] The ego is composed of various portions of the personality — it is a combination of characteristics, ever-changing, that act in unitary fashion — the portion of the personality that deals most directly with the world.

I have spoken of “you,” yet this must not be confused with the “you” that you often think you are — the ego alone, for the ego is only a portion of You; it is that expert part of your personality that deals directly with the contents of your conscious mind, and is concerned most directly with the material portions of your experience.

[...] They represent the most inner portion of your experience. [...]

(10:16.) The feeling-tone then is the motion and fiber — the timber — the portion of your energy devoted to your physical experience. [...]

(11:44.) The exercises and the motives behind them have activated many portions of Ruburt’s body, shaking them loose from long-held positions. [...]

[...] The legs are capable, for example, now of straightening out far further, but the entire relationship between every portion of the body is being worked upon.

SESSION 795 (DELETED PORTION)

[...] It is a portion of you, however, that deals with the formation of events, that glories in a rather rambunctious and creative activity that your specifications of time and place physically preclude. [...] There must be a psychological chamber between these two portions of the self, however — these seemingly undifferentiated areas, in which back-and-forth translations can occur. [...]

The inner ego is a portion of the self, for example — is the portion of your self — that is aware of your reincarnational activities. [...]

[...] If you visit a foreign country, however, you have a tendency to describe the entire nation in terms of the small area you have visited, though other portions may be quite different in geography, culture, and climate.

[...] It is, however, as I use it, a term meant to express the ordinarily conscious directive portion of the self. [...]

[...] There are sufficient hints and signs that do appear, to give evidence of these other portions of the self. Now there is one important point in particular in all this that should be emphasized, and I will repeat it: Certain portions of the self do not manifest themselves directly within physical reality. [...]

[...] Portions of the self live a more or less independent existence, both while the dominant personality sleeps and is awake.

[...] It represents only an imperfect glimpse of a given momentary appearance—the portion of the self that happens in any given instant to show itself.

[...] There are obviously portions of the self that never operate directly within physical reality.

[...] The resentment, carried far enough, could affect your work to such a degree that it forced you to leave, which is exactly what one portion of you wants—and that portion does not care how this is done, though it does not want your painting affected.

Other portions are afraid to leave because of the feelings concerning your mother, mentioned earlier. [...]

SESSION 556 (DELETED PORTION)

A portion of yourselves exist also in many other realities. When these classes in this room are in progression, other portions of your own personality are attending other classes. [...] And each of you are given information according to the developments and characteristics of that particular portion of yourself who is attending. [...]

[...] And each moment as you know it, with this activity as you know it, exists in other realities, and you are a portion of these realities and you affect them. [...]

[...] It is this portion that belongs rather closely to your own. [...]

[...] They will in turn inhabit other forms, and even the most minute consciousness that resides within the smallest portion of matter, even that consciousness can grow and mature and change, for there is no limitation set upon consciousness. [...]

[...] “If it never happened, it would mean the body consciousness was always subservient to other more dominant portions of the personality, and I don’t think that’s true either. [...]

Each most microscopic portion of the body is conscious, strives toward its own goals of development, and is in communication with all other parts of the body.

[...] (Long pause.) This allows it to work at an incredibly swift rate that could not be handled by the topmost conscious portions of the mind. [...]

[...] The working of Ruburt’s eyes, and the continuous changes in his vision, give indications of the other kind of improvements, happening in the circulatory systems and other portions of the body. [...]

[...] In the session Seth postulates two men, both portions of myself, who represents the conflicting sets of beliefs I’ve carried for years. [...]

[...] Even large portions of these activities I now try to relegate to Framework 2’s tender ministrations. [...]

(My own activities, then, have aroused in Jane the urge to try the same approach, and I’ve suggested she think of her own women numbers 1 and 2. It seems that she confronts the same basic challenges I do, I told her, so she could delineate the two opposing portions of her personality well enough to understand that many of her cultural beliefs have been imposed upon her natural, spontaneous, free, creative self, and to such an extent that the acquired beliefs have turned into detriments rather than aids, that she envisioned as helping her obtain what she wants in life. [...]

[...] As I said before, he must realize that it is safe and natural and good to express his being freely—not just a certain decided-upon portion of it. [...]

[...] It is a portion of the whole self, which is activated during a particular existence. [...] It is simply a portion, a field of focus whereby the self attempts to objectify itself within the world of matter.

[...] We have spoken at various times about specific portions of action’s manifestations. [...]

[...] The ego attempts to stand apart from action, and to stand apart from the personality, and to mold the personality into a more or less permanent and stable, dependent portion of the ego itself.

[...] Those portions of the personality which escape ego’s attempts to dominate are held suspect in ego’s eyes. [...]

[...] The earlier portions of the dream did, however, represent fears that Ruburt was, say, dying of suffocation—not physical suffocation, but from being bound too tightly.

The last session, its private portions for Ruburt, should be reread, with its emphasis upon creativity and trust in unconscious processes.

SESSION 857 (DELETED PORTION)

[...] Some of the information that I gave you in our last session, concerning the portions of the self, seem rather alien, I am sure. Do not forget however that you are not even aware of many portions of the self that you know intellectually do exist. So it is not so strange to imagine other portions of the self with which you are not at all familiar in any conscious way.

Now a portion of you may be quite involved in these probable events. Another portion of yourself therefore is concerned here, and a portion with which you are not ordinarily familiar.

The self enclosed within the physical system is indeed only a small portion of the whole self. The portion that deals with probabilities is as much a part of you as any cell within your physical body. [...]

[...] I wanted to make these comments, and do suggest that at least a portion of a session a month be concerned with the state of your psychic and physical circumstances, for there are possibilities here from which you are not yet fully benefiting.

[...] On the third squeeze, one portion of the chicken popped out of my mouth. I could talk hoarsely while feeling the second portion work its way down my esophagus. [...]

[...] He may even refer to those feelings of distrust as a dear frightened part of himself, and then, again, address that part of the self sympathetically — telling it why it need no longer be frightened, and vocally and emotionally stressing the fact that the frightened portion of the self no longer needs defenses, but can now allow itself free and natural expression.

[...] She’d been interrupted right after the start of the session by a nurse bringing her vitamin C. Recording the session, I’d been quite amazed that a certain frightened portion of Jane’s self could exert such power over the rest of her mental and physical personality. [...]

You might say that the varying portions of your own consciousness operate at several different speeds. Translations between one portion of consciousness and another goes on constantly, so that information is translated from one “speed” to another. [...]

[...] The other portions of your consciousness, then, deal with a kind of automatic thinking, and operate with a kind of knowledge that takes no time in your terms.

These portions can also be communicated with. [...] You can refer to these portions of the self altogether as the helper, the teacher, or whatever title suits you best.

[...] While the technique does have its advantages, it also pits one portion of the self against the other. [...]

[...] Each individual is a good person, an individualized portion of universal energy itself. [...]

Simply make a straightforward request, asking that some picture or image be presented in your inner mind, that will serve as representative of those portions of your own inner reality.

[...] For the personality knows full well the tremendous force of its own energy potential, and it would be literally disastrous for one portion to go ahead at the expense of the other. Therefore, regardless of present consequences, one portion has been kept down in order to avoid any serious, that is disastrous, cleavage.

[...] When both portions of the personality are in agreement, then Ruburt’s personality is literally overwhelming, filled with vitality and unbeatable.

[...] He does not feel free to use his full energy until all portions of the personality are convinced of the goodness of his purpose. [...]

Both portions however have great capacities for survival, and are each strong, so that the personality has indeed survived. [...]

[...] In such a fashion, one large portion of the species focuses in physical reality while the other large portion holds a secure foothold in inner reality —

[...] To add your own energy, focus, and concentration to dire circumstances in other portions of the world does not help, but adds to, such situations.

[...] You are a portion of All That Is; therefore the universe leans in your direction. [...]

However, the sleeping portion of the species represents the brain’s unconscious activities in the body — particularly when you think of the motion of all of the species’ actions en masse in a given day. [...]

Much of “Unknown” Reality is involved with the breaking up of theories that have been long accepted, but that prevent you from perceiving the powerful nature of those absent portions of the self. As you focus upon certain details from a larger field of physical reality, so then you focus upon only the small portion of yourself that you consider “real.”

[...] “The Absent Self” — the absent or unknown self — is the portion of your own existence that you do not ordinarily perceive or accept, though there is within you a longing for it.

[...] While being independent individuals their members also identified with their ancestors to some extent, accepting them as portions of their selfhoods. [...]

[...] This was a give-and-take in which, for instance, a jungle neighborhood was truly home, and all was a portion of the self psychically, spiritually, and physically.⁴
