“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.

The personality is less and less apparent within the physical organism. The personality itself has not disintegrated. Its control over the organism, for various reasons, has lessened. In these cases the personality gradually makes inroads into the next reality. It gathers its energy within the next system.

The whole personality has for a long time been waiting in another system of reality. There is no law that says that a personality must fully materialize within a given system, though it is usually wiser to do so.

All of this is not as complicated as it sounds. If you have time left over you help others. If a personality is between systems it loans its energy to others.
