“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The separate incarnated personalities however are still separate identities. This is no contradiction at all. The personality structures of which I am speaking are far more advanced than this example. They are aware of many existences within many systems. They organize the basic ground reality into many patterns, and then operate and manipulate within them.

You are as a rule aware of one system only and not generally conscious of yourself as anything but a creature of that system. I refer here to humanity at this time. These psychological structures through value fulfillment, ever enlarge their abilities to form new realities and to act within them. It should not be forgotten that these environmental systems are directly created by those who dwell within them, and this includes your own.

Basic reality is not a chaos. It is a raw material. All diversity implies a whole, and if you theorize a whole then you must also imply diversity. These personality structures are like you a portion of basic reality, or All That Is. They are simply able to use and express and act within a larger framework of it.

Your idea of a god, in fact any concept held by humanity, represents at best a very small and insignificant idea, based upon the root assumptions of your own system. This does not mean such ideas are not legitimate as far as they go. Simply taking your own physical system and its physical universe, all intelligent life is simply not humanoid. Even in this limited conception of yours then, the concept of a human god is almost meaningless, and there are many other systems in which the word humanoid would have no real meaning at all.

This does not mean that the word indeed would have no meaning. Psychological frameworks and psychic gestalts form the basis for individual reality regardless of system. All of these do imply a whole, but the very term whole would again be meaningless if the whole, through self-conscious individual parts, were not conscious of itself.

In some personalities they will lead to what you call a mystic experience. They will carry the personality into new realms of perception. They will momentarily break up usual patterned organizations of perception. You will see with new inner eyes. To some extent you will view some aspects of reality apart from the usual physical structures that you impose upon it as a whole. There is therefore a freedom for the inner self.

Of itself such an experience will not give you psychological mobility through other portions that compose your own becoming psychological structure. I say here “of itself" because certain personalities will be advanced enough to use such an experience as a springboard into precisely these discoveries. (Long pause.)
