“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, there are some philosophical matters that I would like to clear. Ruburt has been somewhat confused concerning some of these matters. The conventional Christian concept of God has been in many ways a convenient one, and it carries with it many truths. It is true, you see, while it is not true.

Now there is even something like the idea of a personality god, but hardly in the terms used by theologians. The personality of God, as it is generally conceived is again a one-dimensional concept based upon man’s small knowledge of his own psychology.

The ego, as you now know it, will not always be necessary, you see, but a type of ego is a basis for individuality and will always be necessary. An inner ego, of course, that contains various egos that have been or will be a portion of any given self—these egos and any ego organizes experience along various lines and ties experience together within meaningful pattern.

The inner self or the whole personality consists of many such egos, as you know, but the inner self is also aware of itself as something more than the sum of its parts. Now this something more than the sum of its parts is a curious phrase, but within it lies a key that can give you some small understanding of what God may be.

Now, this material is at best difficult to explain verbally.

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?
