“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Consciousness has its built-in protection. But when this is not spontaneously admitted and when out of fear of evil it is repressed this is when it gains additional charge. And so for release that it turns into violence, both individually and en masse. You are so afraid of violence that you do not try to understand what lies behind it. Or the creative nature that lies within it. Violence is a distortion of a thrust toward activity and when you realize this you can use it creatively. When out of fear you try to pretend that it does not exist or, on the other hand, you fear it so drastically that you shove it under, then it is magnified and can do damage.

(To Florence.) And if you trusted your spontaneous self, then you would allow yourself greater freedom. Now class is good for you. It gives you a framework that you can trust in which you can allow yourself freedom. You cannot allow yourself freedom within conventional religion at this time because of your own ideas. You cannot allow yourself freedom without any framework because you are afraid of what you will find, so you had better take advantage of the framework that is here presented to you.
