“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(There followed a discussion about the place of protest and violence in the world today—this violence as a means to correct injustice and to get people to accept all other people and their “thing” without prejudice or the judgment of someone else’s values. Sue and Ned of the younger generation were proponents of “pro “ and others were either “con” or neutral or philosophical.)

In the past, with few exceptions, attempts have been made to change the external situation. I have told you that if you look around you and do not like the world that you see, then it is yourselves individually and en masse that you must change. For this is the only way that change will be effected. And if your generation or any generation would ever effect a change—this is the only way change will be effected.

I speak here because yours is the opportunity and yours is the time. Do not fall into the old ways that will lead you precisely into the world that you fear.

When every young man refuses to go to war you will have peace. As long as twenty men insist on fighting a war you will not have peace. As long as you fight for gain and greed you will not have peace. As long as one person commits violence for the sake of peace you will have war. Unfortunately, in the condition in which your world finds itself, it is extremely difficult to imagine that all the young men in all of the countries at the same time will refuse to go to war. And so you must work out the violence that violence has wrought.

Defend any psychic energy that you have now. This energy, en masse, could change the world in the twinkling of an eye if it were directed constructively.
