“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, (to Natalie) someone was trying to speak to you this evening and you have been doing very well.

([Natalie:] “Was it Cato?”)

It was not Cato but the information, portions of the information, were once given by Cato and the man is a follower of some, though not all, of Cato’s works. Now the works will make you think, so read them.

([Natalie:] “Was this my friend that talks to me in dreams?”)

This evening it was but in a different guise. Besides the person of whom you are aware, there are also other guises taken by the same personality, and he has appeared in your dreams before you were aware of him objectively. And like our class member the Dean, you will begin to follow your own way. Do not be impatient, however.

Now, I suggest that you all take your break. I wanted you to know that I was here, but I also wanted you to know that I am keeping an eye out for your experiments in class and when you are not in class sometimes.

The Bible is a language that you no longer understand. Words used told a story, yet certain words had a different meaning than the literal interpretation of the word. Certain key words in other words, if you will forgive me, were highly symbolic, and if you read the Bible along one surface line then you read a story highly ambiguous, called by many, but if you understood the meaning of the Word, as divorced from the literal interpretation of the Word, then you read an allegory and the allegory was highly important.

There was no original sin to remove.

In certain portions of your world there were memories from other peoples and other layers of existence, and these memories for some time remained. They were part of your racial unconscious as it developed. You knew for example, some of you, that in other existences you had other abilities and used them well. Some of you, in previous existences, before this planet was as you know it, were a part of highly technical civilizations which you ruined out of avarice and greed and ignorance; spiritual ignorance. And so you began once again as savages. And yet no knowledge can be removed from you and no sense of your identity, past, present or future, can be divided from you and as you yourself do the dividing. And so in your dreams you remember the past in which you have been involved and so it seemed to you these had been forced out of a garden. Now this particular situation was reenacted many times and many places and not in one way only.

The rest (to Gert) of the ghost affair—so you decided to start over and to hide from yourself your earlier errors. You did not have a conscious rapport. It is difficult to start an exam the second time when you knew you failed it the first time around. So you started out with great vigor trying to hide from yourself the fact that you had tried this before. No sense of original sin, however, is implied. This was your interpretation of certain perceptions. It was much easier to believe that you had been kicked out of a garden of paradise than to realize that you ruined it yourselves. Do you follow me?

It was you who projected them into the future. In a manner of speaking, you are correct because anything that exists, exists.

([Joel:] “I was hoping you would reinforce it.”)

While you are taking your break there is one remark that I would like to make. Now, I have mentioned this before, but because our Lady of Florence has been so maligned, then I will make this point again. You have our Lady of Florence to thank that there are classes here, for Ruburt would not think of them in the beginning, and it was our friend, who you think is too intellectual and not intuitional, who suggested the classes in the first place to Ruburt and opened his mind so that he would follow my suggestions.
