“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This does not mean I am saying kill, kill, kill. You do not understand the holy and sacred nature of life or energy and that you cannot misuse it. You may think you misuse it, but you are not allowed to misuse it. You are not allowed to destroy. While you live with these things you must deal with them and bear their consequences. If you kill, and believe that you kill, you will bear those consequences at this level of your development, but to think that you can destroy a consciousness would make the gods laugh. You cannot destroy one flower seed, much less a man.

Indeed, it is a good analogy and different animals, you see, have taken different paths of evolution. All of those species, for example, that seem to have passed out of existence, within your level of reality, in other probabilities have continued to exist and develop. The dinosaurs have gone their way.

They do and they are different, for example, than they were here for they have continued their own line of development. Nothing is erased. In those terms, there is no nonexistence. That which is cannot not be.

It is a lack of development, spiritual development, and so it will automatically lead them into trials that they will have to face. Not in terms of punishment, however, but in terms of understanding. The ignorance will cause them sorrow until they learn to rid themselves of it.
