“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

“There is, however, a self, who has already traveled these routes, of whom the other selves are but part. This self, in dreams and dissociated conditions, communicates with the various ‘ascending’ selves. As this self grows in value fulfillment, he can become aware of these travelers on other threads, who would seem to him to be future selves.

[...] Now on Thread A, Self A would not be aware, in his present, of the ‘future’ selves on the other threads. Only by meeting one of these other selves can he become aware of the nature of this strange structure through which he is traveling.

“The pressure came from two sources: from the conscious but still probable individual selves who found themselves alive in a God’s dream, and from the God who yearned to release them.

[...] It is the physical materialization of the inner selves which have formed it.” [...]

[...] There are, of course, mergings where selves quite literally merge with other selves, forming a corporate self. But the unit selves retain their identity, as in a nation the citizens retain theirs, even though the nation at times may act as a unit, and share particular mass characteristic drives and desires, and work toward various goals.

Now, you may all rest, but I hope that during your break you try to let the barriers that you have built up within yourselves dissolve for only you form them and only you can dissolve them and what you do now is important, you see, not only for the self you are now, in your terms, but again, in your terms of reference, for the selves that you have been and the selves that you will be. [...]

(Following a discussion of reincarnation, probable selves and time. [...]

[...] And your reincarnated selves, or personalities, are not imprisoned in their time, as you think of time. [...]

[...] It will help you also, if you realize your reincamational selves are not lost and locked away in some past that is dim and inaccessible. [...]

[...] You do have “future selves.” In your terms those selves often give you information, advice, and inspiration, planting in their own pasts the events that “will” bring about their present. [...]

[...] It is, therefore, the focus of your attention that delineates your time period, and provides a psychological stance from which you will then view all other selves, or all other experiences of your entity. [...]

[...] You can try to contact future selves, however, simply by trying to do so. [...]

When I speak in terms of counterparts, then, or of reincarnational selves and probable selves, I am saying that in the true symphony of your being you are violins, oboes, cymbals, harps — in other words, you are a living instrument through which you play yourself. [...]

[...] I am alert to the fact that I am using many terms, and that it may seem difficult to understand the differences between probable and reincarnational selves, counterparts and families of consciousness. [...]

[...] If you ask: “How can I have reincarnational and probable selves at once?”, you are asking a question comparable to the one mentioned earlier, colon: “How can an apple have color and be round at the same time?”

To some degree you feel the same way when you encounter the concept of probable selves, or of counterparts. [...]

[...] If you would put aside these selves that you take for granted, you could experience your own reality, your own multidimensional reality. [...] I do not harp to you about theory simply because I want you to spout theory, but because I want you to put these theories into practice for yourselves and discover the selves that are within you. [...]

[...] Now, I can write as the many selves I have been, with full knowledge of my background so that I can address myself to mothers, and fathers, and children...consciously remembering my experience in those roles. [...]

Therefore I invite you to forget the bodies that you know, to set your inner selves free. [...]

[...] Identity, the self that you are, is made up of the selves that you were and, my dear friends, the selves that you shall be. The selves that you were still exist. The selves that you shall be already exist. [...]

[...] Probable selves

“There are points of contact having nothing to do with time, as you know it, that are significant to all personalities; origins of new energy that are sometimes brought into existence because of the strong latent psychic capacities within individual selves. [...]

[...] I look back on you as the selves from which I sprang, yet I am more than the sum of what you will be when you are finished with the dimensions and times that I have known.

[...] 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.”

“Our entity is composed of multitudinous selves with their own identities, many of whom have worked in this behalf. [...]

[...] And there are journeys within yourselves that you can take that will lead you from selves that you know to selves with whom you are not yet acquainted. [...]

[...] The creative selves within you know what you are up to and I know what I hope this class will be up to and you must have faith in each other and trust if we are going to do the kind of group experiments that I have in mind. [...]

[...] It carries the memory and simultaneous experience of each of those selves.

There are traces in your present experience of your probable selves, even as there are signs in each individual of all the great talents shown and developed so flamboyantly by a few. [...]

[...] That is the source of your physical existence—the source of your impulses to begin with, and the more you learn to trust Framework 2 the easier it is for your natural selves to express themselves. [...]

[...] When you make that kind of attempt, it seems you are always between selves, and always disapprove of the self that you are. [...]

[...] I know just where it’s going afterward, too — into reincarnational selves and this power thing. [...]

Now: Each of your reincarnational selves is born as a creature in flesh, like you. [...]

In a way that will be explained in another book for those interested in such matters, there is a kind of coincidence with all of these present points of power that exist between you and your “reincarnational” selves. [...]

(Pause.) These selves are different counterparts of yourself in creaturehood, experiencing bodily reality; but at the same time your organism itself shuts out the simultaneous nature of experience. [...]

[...] That you form the universe as you know it en masse and individually from the focal point of this moment, from the focus of this moment that all of your selves exist now and are not done and finished anymore than you are done and finished. [...] You create the selves, who in turn create the images that you know. [...]

[...] And imagine also, therefore, that within yourselves now are other far more wise selves and that within your eyes are other eyes as old as mine and other selves quite as ancient and quite as new and that these selves, within yourselves, look out at me and wink and in winking know what they know. [...]

You are all portions of your own higher identity, your own multidimensional selves. Now these selves know how to heal, and in the dream state they will indeed do so if you allow them to. [...]

[...] This does not mean that each succeeding earth experiment will be made up of selves who have been through these cycles.

[...] These exist within the inner selves. [...]

[...] Now cooperation is an innate feature to these entering selves. [...]

In larger terms, my soul includes my reincarnational personalities, Seth Two, and probable selves. I am as aware of my probable selves, incidentally, as I am of my reincarnational existences. [...]

(9:18.) My own reincarnational personalities, probable selves, and even Seth Two exist within me now, as I exist within them. [...]

[...] And so you never think of future selves, or how you might benefit from knowing them….

(On more “practical” levels, we thought that behavior among nations might be changed for the better if the idea of counterparts were understood, or at least considered — if, for instance, many of the individuals making up a country realized that they could actually be acting against portions of themselves [or of their whole selves] in the persons of the “enemy” country, and so modified the virulence of their feelings. [...]

(1.) It is quite possible, for example, for several selves to occupy a body, and were this the norm it would be easily accepted. [...]

In a way that will be explained in another book for those interested in such matters, there is a kind of coincidence with all of these present points of power⁸ that exist between you and your “reincarnational” selves. [...]

You are also receiving information from other probable selves. [...]

[...] Probable selves can be viewed by myself and others like me, for we see your reality in all of its dimensions, and you view it from the small present forms that you know. [...]

[...] The selves that sit there know other selves. [...]
