“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The consciousness of the personality has not left too soon, or unusually soon, as in your father’s case, but stubbornly persists. It is as if an artist found the last painting showing up over and over in the next one. In such cases there is a lack of understanding. The inner identity does not understand that it is simply taking a different guise, fulfilling different obligations, or using unfulfilled energies.

When psychic gestalts are made and formed they are not static. They make different alliances until they find their place in a whole identity that serves their purposes, or are strong enough to become indestructible. They are always becoming, they are not closed units.

Your father was not simply your father. That identity that is his has grown, developed, changed its circumstances and its physical components many times, searching for the psychic soil that will best develop his own potentials.

This is not simple to explain, yet I would do poorly by you if I left you with a simple explanation. Emotional feelings are vital. Emotional identities are indestructible. Personalities that you have known in past lives will know you after transition. This does not mean that for their own purposes they have not joined in psychic mergers that you cannot presently understand. As I am joined in a psychic merger with you now, and am still myself, and you yourself.

There will be a joyous gathering together of his identity when the body dies. These are like the weaving together of mosaics, the weavings of the personality in and out, and no effect is meaningless nor without benefit. In this life you were meant to create, and teach. All creation is teaching. Your entity is older than your father’s. You and Ruburt and I have been connected many times. The gestalt, the conditions, have in the past been beneficial for us all.
