“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, there is one very cozy answer that is quite handy at times and it neatly relieves you of all sense of responsibility. It takes a while to understand who and what you are, and while you are learning it is often very handy to have someone else tell you and say you are this and so, you can do this and this and this and this is good and this is bad, as you indeed tell children. And so you do not have to ask yourself questions and you do not, yourself, have to probe the nature of good and evil because you accept what has been told you. And when you are in such a state you do not develop. Sometimes you are safe, but you do not develop and often you are not even safe.

Now, if there is one thing I try to do in these sessions, again through my personality as I show you, and that is an old (words lost)is to show you that spontaneity is important and that death is not the ending that you suppose, and that no hobblegoblins are waiting to get you when you die, and that you are going to be very busy when you are finished with this existence as indeed I am still busy.

It is indeed, and it is important that you experience, that you open yourselves up to experiences that you may perhaps have believed impossible in the past, for there are no barriers, only those you impose. When you realize, deeply realize, that other realities exist, you can begin to perceive your own part in them. As long as you do not realize they exist you will rationalize away the greatest indication of them that you may perceive. Come into my parlor, said the spider to the fly.

Now, here we are again with our long, fierce faces. It seems I must be saying something very horrible to put you all on edge for you seem so solemn, indeed. If I am not solemn, and I am supposed to be dead, then why do you have such long faces? It would lead me to believe that to be alive must be a dreadful state indeed!

Now, this is your break. You see, and I have said this again many times in class, spontaneity knows its own discipline. The body breathes beautifully in a highly disciplined manner and knows nothing of your idea of discipline. Indeed, the seasons come and go. In your location it does not snow, usually, in July. The flowers appear and disappear. Everything has its season, and yet there is no discipline imposed from without. Spontaneity has its own discipline and its own knowledge, and when you attempt to rule spontaneity with a heavy hand, then rigidity enters in and you destroy the fountain of inner knowledge and intuition and understanding and you distort the emotions that you have.

It is indeed, but what you do not understand is that your so-called subconscious is highly conscious, you simply are not aware of it consciously. Therefore, you must expand the consciousness that you know so that it is aware of this other portion of your own identity. You do not really have a conscious state and an unconscious state, they are the same. You have a consciousness. Sometimes you are aware of certain portions of it and sometimes you are aware of other portions of it. You have been told that you cannot know what happens to you when your body sleeps, but you can, indeed. That portion of you is also conscious; there is an artificial division created. I will let you return to your break.

I will, indeed. You have to take some steps on your own, however. Now I bid you a fond good evening, and I wish you an exciting night
