“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Much is not understood in your interpretations. In that world men knew that nature was balanced. Both animals and men must die. If a man was caught and eaten by animals, as sometimes happened, [his fellows] did not begrudge that animal its prey — at least, not in the deepest of terms. And when they slayed other animals themselves and ate the heart, for example, it was not only to obtain the animals’ “stout hearts,” or fearlessness; but also the intent was to preserve those characteristics so that through men’s experiences each animal would continue to live to some extent.

Men in those times protected themselves against storms, and yet in the same way they did not begrudge the storm its victims. They simply changed the alliances of their consciousnesses from the identification of self-within-the-flesh to self-within-the-storm. Man’s and nature’s intents were largely the same, and understood as such. Man did not fear the elements in those early times, as is now supposed.

[...] My last session was in a way—in a way—the result of Ruburt’s begrudging decision to “take time out to read the book.” [...]

[...] He felt that the last one was purchased by you in order to reach your parents, begrudgingly, that you would not have purchased a “new one” for him for example.

[...] He is ashamed because at one level he begrudges the food you eat, so he will not eat to punish himself.

He felt that you begrudged him the food he ate, hence the shopping symptoms. [...]

[...] Ruburt has been using his energy in his book, and I do not begrudge it.

[...] And so, at the end of an hour, had you begrudgingly gone to your bed, the inspiration would have long since departed. [...]

I have tried to take care of your writing hand, my poor befingered Joseph, but if you are truly tired I will take leave of you begrudgingly.
