Seth Quotes

[The personification of the femaleness in the male is the 'anima.'
The personification of the maleness in the female is the 'animus.']

"The body's healing mechanisms operate more effectively in clear weather."

"Maleness and femaleness are obviously not opposites, but merging tendencies."

"The priestess, the mother, the young witch, the wife, and the old wise woman--these general types are archetypes, simply because they are 'root elements' representing, symbolically, the various kinds of so-called female qualities and the various kinds of female lives that have been lived by males."

"Through the anima and the animus, so-called, present personalities are able to draw upon the knowledge and intuitions and background that was derived from past existences as the opposite sex."

"There are presently invisible layers within the body, the topmost layer that you see representing, of course, the present physical form. But enmeshed within this there are what amount to invisible layers, 'shadow,' laten layers that represent previous physical images that have belonged to the personality. They are kep in abeyance, so to speak. They are connected electromagnetically to the atomic structure of the present body. To your way of thinking, they would be unfocused. They are a part of your psychic heritage, however. Often you can call up a past strength of a previous body, to help compensate for a present weakness. The body does not only carry memory biologically of its own past condition in this life therefore, but indelibly with it, even physically, are the memories of the other bodies that the personality has formed in previous reincarnations."

"Reincarnational experiences are a part of the framework of te self, a facet of the multidimensional reality of the living psyche. These experiences will, therefore, be reflected not only in the dream state, but in other layers of activity."

"Often past-time memories come to the surface but are not recognized as such, since they appear in fantasy form, or are projected into art creations"

"Many writers of historical pieces, for example, are writing out of direct experience with those times. Such instances represent an excellent working rapport between the present self and the unconcious, which brings these memories to the surface in such a way that current life is enriched. More often than not, true awareness of the situation often becomes almost conscious, and just beneath awareness the individual knows the source of his authentic material."

"The whole self is obviously the sum of these characteristics, and more."

"There are many reasons why the separation has been adopted within your dimension. The reasons have to do with the particular way in which mankind has chosen to evolve and use his abilities."

"The reality of the anima and the animus is far deeper then than Jung supposed."

"Personality as you know it, cannot be understood unless the true meaning of the anima and animus is taken into consideration."

"Only beginning consciousness needs these kind of controls."

"Your mother, if you have known her in the past, will find at your birth an upsurge of dreams involving other existences in which the two of you were together."

"They [those who are highly anxious for physical existence] are manipulators of matter as a rule."

"Now there are some who resist the new existence, even though they chose it, as long as possible."

"Some personalities simply prefer in-between-life existence and are much more concerned with the theoretical solving of problems than the practical application necessarily involved. Others have discovered that physical existence does not meet their needs as well as they thought it would, and they will progress much better in other fields of reality and existence."

"Some prefer to set up a certain distance between themselves and their physical existences."

"They are not interested so much in manipulating matter as they are curious as to the ways in which ideas appear within matter."

"Decisions as to future lives may be made not only in between-life conditions but also in dream states in any given life."
