“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(You had a brief life as twins... Some definite clear-cut divisions within yourself have to do with this life when you were one of two... one going one way, and one the other... One twin had a strong leaning toward military things... a soldier... The organization of the church now serves the same purpose I believe.... security within the organization... The twin who was in the military found his sense of identity as a soldier within the system, but he had great faith in the system... in what he was doing... The other twin was more given to a statesmanlike sort of thing... and was in fact an orator although he had another profession...It included oration to people... The two of you had a very strong telepathic relationship... and this time the church has provided the same kind of organization... You sort of resented the fact that this twin brother of yours had this organization in which he found support and in which he felt so a part because he was absolutely certain of the aims and goals of the organization and he was a good soldier within it... and at that time you envied him that security and that sense of identity within the system in which he believed. This time the orator part of you is still strong in that you want to teach and like to talk and to discuss issues... but also at the same time you wanted the sense of security that you felt the other brother had... Also you picked up his desire to go to battle for, only in this case you are using battle for ideas that you are struggling for. The other brother was battling for what the organization wanted, and served the organization well... You are now battling the things the organization wants and you feel the division... This division is bringing up memories subconsciously, in this past life where there was this division between you and your brother.

[...] This time the orator part of you is still strong in that you want to teach and like to talk and to discuss issues—but also at the same time you wanted the sense of security that you felt the other brother had—also you picked up his desire to go to battle for, only in this case you are using battle for ideas that you are struggling for. The other brother was battling for what the organization wanted, and served the organization well—you are now battling the things the organization wants and you feel the division—this division is bringing up memories subconsciously, in this past life where there was this division between you and your brother.

[...] A battle recreated in the mind reinforces the original psychic explosion and contemplation of war helps project that disaster into the future. [...]

[...] Battles like other physical acts exist first in the mental realm. [...]

Wars are not only disruptive within your system, but cause some severe repercussions for individuals who die while in battle. [...]

A battle fought originally by the sea. [...]

(“Numerous battles by the sea.”)

A queen who dies on Friday in another land has something to do with the battle.

[...] If the “battle of the sexes” were as prevalent as supposed, and as natural and ferocious, then there literally would be no cooperation between males and females for any purpose. There would be none between men or between women either, for they would be in a constant state of battle against each other.

[...] The so-called battle of the sexes, with its ramifications, is not “natural” — nor, in that context, is fighting between members of the same sex. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) The inner conflict, you see, appears in imbalances now within the system, where sets of muscles (pause) battle with other sets: this setup, the nervous hip disorders. [...]

A battle fought originally by the sea. [...]

A queen who dies on Friday in another land, had something to do with the battle. [...]

[...] He was a very likable chap, and under the circumstances I did not mind when he seemed to expect a battle for his soul. [...] He could not rid himself of the idea of force, though he had died by force, and nothing could persuade him to accept any kind of peace or contentment, or any rest, until some kind of battle was wrought.

[...] After death, an individual may visualize his (immediately previous physical) life as an animal with which he must come to terms, and such a battle or encounter has far-reaching consequences, for the man must come to terms with all portions of himself. [...]

He did arouse himself for battle yesterday (at my parents’, especially noticing the poor condition of my father), and this was effective, but this state of battle should not be maintained as a daily thing. [...]

[...] He is used to being armed for battle. There is no battle, and that is the secret. [...]

You were Ruburt’s younger brother at that time, and both of you engaged in many bloody religious battles. [...]

[...] Ruburt went to battle with all of his men, and only as he grew older did he begin to wonder at his own motives, or the beliefs that were the structure of his life.

[...] In the Turkish life that meant following Allah and the dictates of holy battle. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Many thousands may die in a particular battle or war, for example. [...]

[...] Wars are basically examples of mass suicide — embarked upon, however, with all of the battle’s paraphernalia, carried out through mass suggestion, and through the nation’s greatest resources, by men who are convinced that the universe is unsafe, that the self cannot be trusted, and that strangers are always hostile. [...]

(“Did you die in battle?”)

[...] If you rose to take his place, then she would be driven to do her battle over. [...]

[...] Any weakness on your part would signal to you the loss of inner independence, the loss of a battle that you had thought over years ago.

[...] So you need not fight that battle all of your life.

[...] You were using the war connection however as a symbol for battle between the sexes.

[...] In your skimpy (whispering humorously) comprehension of events there can be only one definite outcome of a battle, for instance. [...]

(10:35.) The initial battle, so to speak, took place on a dream level, then privately and en masse the race decided which portions of the event to actualize in physical terms. [...]

You may find yourself in the midst of a battle that was once planned in some general’s mind, a battle that never materialized in physical reality.

In such a case incidentally, you were not a part of the battle, and you cannot be harmed. [...]

[...] As a result you forget your natural selves, and become involved in a secondary, largely imaginary culture: battles that are projected negatively into the future, individually and en masse. [...]

[...] To me it sounded obviously symbolic of his fear of death and his battle against surrendering to it. [...]

You are caught between two attitudes that battle each other. [...]

[...] In the meantime the pesty fleas continued their household tyranny and all of this was somehow wrapped around a ribbon of excitement as we watched the Democrats and Republicans battle on the news just before we left for our respective work rooms.
