“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Many of the old ideas of precivilization come closer to anything near the truth. What you prefer to think of as God is basically and above all, indeed as I have said, an infinite energy gestalt: or pyramid consciousness. It is aware of itself as being, for example, you, Joseph. It is aware of itself as what seems to you as your own future and past selves.

It is aware of itself as the smallest seed, both those that grow and those that do not grow. The personality of this gestalt is beyond comprehension at this point. It is both demanding and compassionate. The word, justice, is a human one, always implying punishment. And it has nothing to do with the God concept.

I am trying to make this as simple as possible. The part of All That Is, that is aware of itself as you, is also aware of itself as something more than you. This portion that knows itself as you and as more than you is the personal god, you see. Again: This gestalt, this portion of All That Is, looks out for your interests and may be called upon in a personality manner. But this portion is only a part, itself, of All That Is.

But, you see, even this overall pyramid gestalt is not static. All or most concepts of a god deal with a static god and herein lies the main theological difficulties. The awareness and experience of this overall gestalt constantly change and grow. Again, there is no static god. When you say, “This is God", then God is already something else. I am using the term God for simplicity’s sake.

You are yourself obviously an energy gestalt; as you become more fully conscious of reality your sense of identity will contain larger and larger aspects of reality.

I do not mean to imply, necessarily, progression here. Theoretically, you see, you will one day be a fully conscious portion of the personal god to whom you may now pray. By then, you see, you will be aware of further gestalts. Do you see?

All portions of All That Is do not recognize themselves consciously as All That Is. But know themselves mainly as individuals, not as the prime gestalt individual. When realization is reached at the highest level, then All That Is instantly creates new realities, and to some extent, you see, loses the conscious knowledge of its own identity.
