“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This is at our simplest and most basic level. The forms then build, one within or upon the other, in the manner in which I explained that the gestalt of a human body was maintained. In many ways like does attract like; certain patterns therefore being set up, are used by other energy bits of similar capacity and strength.

When you maintain that identity is dependent upon the duration of the physical body, you are taking it for granted that the physical body is one complete thing, more or less rigid in form, and permanent within a certain perspective. You know however that the physical body is not one thing in those terms, and that the stuff of which it is composed is forever coming and going, arriving and departing, and yet identity is maintained.

You may not be aware of the conscious nature of each atom in your body, or of the gestalt consciousness formed by those atoms as they build into cells, but it is not necessary for them, or for their own awareness of themselves, that you give them that recognition. The consciousness in the cells exists whether or not you recognize it.
