“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Seth has dealt with psychic gestalts, religion, the Crucifixion, beginnings and endings, etc., under the general heading of the God concept, at various times. [...]

[...] The creation nevertheless happened in quite real terms, and is part of mankind’s inner recognition of the pyramid gestalts of which I have spoken.

[...] For the individual is part of All That Is, and therefore partakes of the abilities of the psychic gestalts of which we have so sketchily spoken.

[...] And you two, you two form a gestalt, so that working together you have more knowledge, ability and information than you have separately.

[...] That is, I am not that gestalt formed by your united identities. [...]

Now there are ways you are not using that will enable you to take advantage of that psychic and psychological gestalt formed by the two of you. [...]

[...] The knowledge changes it, in your terms, into a greater gestalt that then tries to fulfill and know itself, and so forth. [...]

(Pause.) Other kinds of psychological gestalts have been and are being tried — some that would appear quite inconceivable to you; and yet now and then versions of them appear within your system.

[...] This presupposes a gestalt of awareness, however, in which each knows of the activities of the others, and participates; and you have a different version of mass consciousness. [...]

The cells and molecules, forming their psychic gestalt into a particular human physical structure, are separated from what you might call the outer environment, and yet they are also connected to the outer environment more than they are separated from it. [...]

I have mentioned that the individual cells and molecules, atoms and other basic structures, definitely gain in their formation into the gestalt of a more complicated structure, being able to participate in experiences and value fulfillments that would otherwise not be possible for them in their own simpler isolated form. [...]

[...] The particular physical body will then be known for what it is: a cooperative psychic gestalt, a psychio-physical structure formed together by the inner ego, utilizing atoms and molecules that are in themselves living and conscious.

[...] My personality is such that it is not intimate or understandable to you, now, simply because it is a personality based upon different root assumptions than your own, and has its prime existence in dimensions that are composed of personality structures and gestalts based on alien psychological activities.

The consciousnesses is composed of the individual consciousnesses that make up the material that is within the painting, and yet there is also a gestalt consciousness that is the result of the artist’s overall conception. [...]

[...] A rather delicate psychological gestalt operates with the family as a whole. [...]

You recall, I am sure, the material concerning the gestalt of the physical body. [...]

[...] When action is allowed to flow unimpeded, the cooperation that is necessary to maintain the efficiency of the gestalt is maintained. [...]

[...] For the apartness is dependent upon its being a part of the whole gestalt.

[...] It constantly translates the components of its gestalt into reality—either physical reality through the EE units I have mentioned, or into other realities equally as valid.

[...] They are actually oscillating, ever-moving, highly charged gestalts of EE units (“beneath,” say, any atomic particles), organized and maintained by the collective efforts on the part of inner selves. [...]

Now: In purely physical terms, what you think of as consciousness of the self arises from a certain peak of intensity reached by the gestalt consciousness of the atoms and molecules, and cells and organs, that compose the body.

The psychic structure of consciousness that organizes that bodily gestalt is, however, not dependent upon it, and so the you that you experience is only a portion of this greater identity.

[...] They conceive of the psychological structure as a gestalt, dominated by the ego, formed by various needs and potentialities. [...]

[...] It is true that the personality is a gestalt, and that every identity has any number of potential egos. [...]

[...] It may form into new gestalts but the identity is retained.

[...] They merge into other gestalts, but what they are is never destroyed. They operate independently while part of other gestalts.

[...] I have tried to explain personality gestalts and the connections that exist between us.

As inner energy forms more complicated gestalts through the processes that I have earlier explained, then inner energy continues its communication with the physical matter that it creates about it. When inner energy desires to construct a more complicated gestalt, then it must telepathically communicate this intent and purpose through the matter which it collects about itself, forming a more complicated inner telepathic pattern first, that can then be filled in with physical matter. [...]

[...] Now, as in the physical field individual atoms combine for their own benefit into more complicated structure gestalts, so do they also combine to form such gestalts, though of a somewhat different nature, in the dream world.

[...] But in these terms such tremendous power resides in such primary pyramid gestalts that even their dreams are endowed with vitality and reality. [...]

This then is the dilemma of any primary pyramid gestalt. [...]

The basic psychological structures available have definite solidity, depth, mass, et cetera, in the psychological perspective, and they may be formed into numberless gestalt patterns, which are then constructed physically. [...] There is nothing to force an individual for example to form psychological gestalts of hate and fear from the basic structure of consciousness survival.

These psychological forms or structures have a reality and validity, composed of gestalts that exist in perspectives that you do not recognize.

[...] The universe and all planes and universes of existence, come indeed from what you may call energy, vitality, idea; or despite Ruburt’s stubborn blocking, from a personality essence or psychic gestalt which you may refer to as God if you prefer. [...]

[...] The pyramids of psychic gestalts of which I have spoken represent in your terms all beginnings and all endings, which again expand into new beginnings and new forms.

We will now come to one main attribute then of all reality, and of that that is as ultimate as anything I know—that energy gestalt which may be called God.

[...] But the first portion of our program has been completed in many other ways, having to do with the development of abilities, and with the development of that gestalt which we now form.

We will also have more to say concerning the ways in which such a gestalt as this is composed. [...]

[...] Our venture represents gestalts of energy coming together in quite natural manners. [...]

[...] You retain your individuality as part of an entity, and the entity retains its individuality as a part of an energy gestalt.

An energy gestalt maintains its individuality as a portion of All That Is. [...]

[...] In our case a gestalt personality or a psychological bridge

[...] The psychological expansion on his end, and the psychological expansion on my end, form the gestalt, the psychological bridge, of which I have spoken.

This psychological gestalt is a connector. [...]

Trees and rocks possess their own consciousness, and also share a gestalt consciousness, even as the living portions of your body. The cells and organs have their own awarenesses, and a gestalt one. So the race of man also has individual consciousness and a gestalt or mass consciousness, of which you individually are hardly aware.
