“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] There can be no portions or parts of it, because it is not an entity like a pie, to be cut or divided. For purposes of discussion, however, we must say that in your terms each smallest portion — each smallest unit of pure energy — contains within it the propelling force toward the formation of all possible variations of itself.

Pure energy, or any “portion” of it, contains within itself the creative propensity toward individuation, so that within any given portion all individually conscious life is implied, created, sustained. [...]

[...] Practically speaking, however, the species accepts certain portions of dream reality as its so-called real events at any particular time, and about those specialized events it forms its “current” civilizations. [...] For that matter, their natural television operated better in some ways than your technological version, for their mental images allowed them to perceive events in neighboring areas or in other portions of the world. [...]

[...] Ruburt is working well with his beliefs, and seeing them reflected in all portions of his life as mentioned, Dialogues, some other thoughts he had only beginning to be expressed in Tim’s (Foote) letters and his work, are working together in a therapeutic framework.

SESSION 640 (DELETED PORTION)

I, who am the source (pause), sent a portion of myself, an independent portion, to you. [...]

I am far more however than this portion of me that you contact, for it is only one portion of me that experienced that reality. [...]

[...] Still, only a small portion of what I am speaks to you now. (Pause.) Other portions of me are concerned elsewhere, for I am aware of my own existence in other dimensions, and keep track of them, and direct my many selves. [...]

He has been reading various sections of the material, including portions having to do with the ego, personality and action, and you see attempted to set himself aside from the action in which his whole personality was intimately involved. [...]

It is a portion that has been physical. It is a portion that can understand your (Theodore) being overwhelmed with work; it is a portion that can understand your being full with child (Sue); it is a portion that can understand the times when you wanted to leave physical reality (Ned); it is a portion that can understand the part of you (Sally) 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 (Brad); it is a portion that can understand the guilt you (Rose) feel for no reason. It is a portion that can understand the aspirations that you (Lydia) were unable to fulfill and if you have fulfilled them, you would not be looking into the subjects that you are looking into now. [...]

[...] 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. [...]

Seth devoted three full sessions and portions of two others to this Appendix. [...]

We also added portions of six other sessions. [...]

[...] It is futile to question: “What is the difference between my psyche and my soul, my entity and my greater being?” for all of these are terms used in an effort to express the greater portions of your own experience that you sense within yourself. [...]

There would be no experience of what Ruburt (Seth’s “entity” name for Jane) calls “the dear privacy of the moment,” so if one portion of your being wants to rise above the solitary march of the moments, other parts of your psyche rush, delighted, into that particular time-focus that is your own. [...]

[...] You are trying to keep some kind of overall balance and purpose in mind, so when you make one brushstroke in any particular portion of this canvas, all the relationships within the entire area can change. [...]

Now the psyche in our analogy is both the painting and the artist, for the artist finds that all of the elements within the painting are portions of himself. [...]

Each inner self is a portion of the basic inner reality. [...]

[...] No one else can speak to this particular portion of this god. [...]

[...] When you realize that you are also a portion of All That Is, then you will see that this concept is erroneous and limited.

There are also portions connected with your identity, however, within other systems, and these are more advanced than your own psychological self. [...]

Over a period of time, then, certain portions of the body will habitually respond in any given overall positive or negative way. [...]

[...] As this occurs the left and right portions of the body begin to align themselves. [...]

[...] From your point of view these might appear alien, and yet they are as much a part of your psyche as your motherland is a portion of the earth.

[...] In the same manner, different portions of the psyche exist with their own local “laws,” their different kinds of “government.” [...]

[...] Different portions of the psyche are familiar with all of these mentioned occurrences — because the psyche straddles any of the local laws that you recognize as “official,” and has within itself the capacity to deal with an infinite number of reality-hyphen-experiences.

[...] In other words, you will expect your own experiences with various portions of your psyche to be more or less the same. [...]

[...] Waking life involves the expenditure of energy, so in this way a portion of the species uses energy while the other half is being replenished. [...] This kind of foundation is continually laid with great diligence by the sleeping portion of the species. The waking portion provides, say, the material supplies that visibly appear as objects or as events. [...]

[...] The alternate waking and sleeping patterns—that is, one portion of the species sleeping while the other portion wakes—allows a clear division between waking and sleeping information. [...]

Inner cooperation is maintained on the part of people in opposite portions of the world—methods that could not be utilized if all woke or slept at the same time. [...]

[...] Even though, now, you rely upon physical communication, portions of the species are still connected through those ancient means—though there is not the same need to become consciously aware of the information.

[...] She demanded that some portion of your father remain. [...] More than half of your father’s personality has been vacant, and this portion has been with the entity. [...]

The father, your father, represents to him, Ruburt, the helpless portions of his own mother, directed so to speak where he can see them. [...]

[...] The main portion of his personality, the integrating functions, the strong core, left, and rejoined the entity years ago. [...]

In each of her three sons she sees portions of the man she knew. [...]

[...] I told you (at the beginning of this chapter) that it was important to realize the ego’s position as the most “exterior” portion of the inner self, not alienated but looking outward to physical reality. Using this analogy, portions of the self on the other side of the conscious mind constantly receive telepathic data. [...]

[...] As mentioned (in Chapter One), the ego, while a portion of the whole self, can be defined as a psychological “structure,” composed of characteristics belonging to the personality as a whole, organized together to form a surface identity.

Because it is intimately connected with other portions of the self it does not basically feel alienated or alone, but proudly acts as the director of the conscious mind’s focus. [...]

[...] It is the portion of the mind, then, that looks out upon physical reality and surveys it in relation to those characteristics of which it is composed at any given time. [...]

Therefore a seeming division occurs, in which a portion of the invisible conscious mind is connected with the physical brain, and a portion of it is free of that connection. [...]

[...] The aware mind is not any one event, for that matter; it represents various portions of the inner self that “surface” at any given time.

[...] The portion that must “wait for” the brain’s development is the part you call in life “the conscious mind.”

The other portions can be called the inner self. [...]

Its beliefs about the nature of reality are then given to inner portions of the self. [...]

[...] Its role is dual, however: It is meant to assess conditions both inside and outside, to handle data that comes from the physical world and from the inner portions of the self. [...]

[...] If the inner portions of the self were supposed to have that responsibility, then you would not need a conscious mind.

[...] To change your experience or any portion of it, then, you must change your ideas. [...]

Such measures to some extent segregate certain portions of the body, as if those portions could be considered alone. [...]

These may be spasmodic, as the body in whatever portion attains a temporary goal. [...]

[...] On other occasions portions of his body will move with nearly normal speed—another sign of the body’s intent.

[...] The entire head area is, again, vitally connected with all portions of the body. [...]

[...] Because consciousness fluctuates however, other portions of your self have memory of those times when it is not focused in “physical reality,” and this is also a portion of your entire existence.

[...] Whether or not you remember your dreams, for example, a certain portion of you, under hypnosis, could remember every dream that you ever had in your life. So a certain portion of you remembers those nonmoments when you are not focused in physical reality, when your existence is in another dimension of actuality entirely and you are perceiving what I will call, in your term of reference, nonintervals. [...]

[...] We were originally a portion of the same entity. [...]

[...] He also contains those portions of himself that are less developed, for they all exist as one. [...]

[...] Though you are a portion of your psyche, then, your identity is still inviolate. [...] It follows its own focus, and knows itself as itself, even while its own existence as itself may be but a portion of another “identity.”

Your very physical stance and existence are dependent upon portions of your psyche’s reality, or your soul’s existence, of which you are normally unaware. Those portions are also dependent upon your existence, however.

[...] These keep you in constant touch with the other portions of your own psyche. [...]

[...] On the other hand it is always becoming, and that becoming happens on the part of each of its own portions.

Of late, I hear more and more from you both in your private discussions, in which you voice opinions to the effect that overall man can hope to learn little—that the individual can only do so much, that you can at best glimpse the most minute portion of knowledge. [...]

[...] The writing represents strong portions of Frank’s personality that are intently concerned with the expression of subjective feelings—feelings that appear nebulous at times because they cannot be expressed—so it seems to him—in a direct fashion.

[...] Ruburt simply identified with too-small a portion of himself, not realizing that left alone his abilities would draw from Framework 2 all that was required for their fulfillment—all of the impulses, desires, and circumstances. [...]
