“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In a situation such as your father’s or Miss Callahan’s, the overall consciousness is not less, but less of it expresses itself in physical terms. It either has less and less control over the organism because it has not solved its problems well enough, because it has already largely decided to leave the system, but does so gradually; or because in some instances there is a psychic block, which prevents full utilization of energy in this important regard.

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.
