“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

When you love life very deeply then it is very easy to despair, and when you compare ideal human relations to the relations that exist in the world as it is, it is very easy to despair; but if you give in to despair then you cannot see the beauty that does exist for the despair will eat it through like lye; and so hold on to the beauty and guard it and the vitality of your thoughts and emotions and your natural vitality as you would your life, for it is your life. Peace—now you may all take a break.

(To Ned.) Behind me, this fellow behind the rocker, you mark my words and guard your vitality and the love you have of life and of your wife and of your child and the new life you see beginning in him and do not let the other emotions destroy your peace of mind. Now, peace is not a dull thing. Peace does not mean a sober face and dull thoughts. Peace is truly joyful and exhilarating and it can be as good and better than any trip, so if you are going to trip, then trip through the good green grasses that grow in the sod. And trip also through your own vitality and through the bright green forests that grow in your own mind and derive your strength and peace from these.
