“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The ego attempts to break down action into smaller and smaller units. The intuitions try to perceive action as a whole. The ego breaks down for purposesof examination, the intuitions construct. Both the ego and the intuitions, in performing their functions, obviously create action. The self may of course be considered as a gestalt of action, perceived in a different manner by various levels of itself.

On one hand, basically, the self is limitless, both electromagnetically and because of the nature of action, which affects all other action. The self does not however proceed along straight lines, from a birth to a death. This is only the self that the ego perceives. Action cannot remain inactive or motionless, though the motion may not always be apparent.

Ego’s concept of itself as a rock of unchanging identity is highly ludicrous, since its perceptions constantly change it from what it was. It is not a thing proceeding, by any means. This is not to deny the human aspects of the ego, for the ego is also somewhat like a light carried in front of the inner self, a light that gives meaning to the physical universe and to its objects. It enables the inner self to manipulate within physical reality. It translates outer data to the inner personality.
