The Gestalt
I first mention The Gestalt in The Book of the Triumph of Spirit Master Key. There I use it to describe what happens when you put all the individual pages of The Book (i.e. all the individual archetypes) together into the simmering stew of your conscious (and unconscious) brain. When you put all the archetypes of The Book into your brain and stir it around a gestalt emerges. This gestalt is a metaphoric and symbolic tapestry that provides the basic foundation for all the meaning and purpose in your life. Once established in your consciousness, The Gestalt (which may be largely unconscious) becomes virtually invisible. It is the water under the ground at your feet. Is very difficult to even expose, even more difficult to modify, and virtually (though not entirely) impossible to erase and rebuild.
