“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You were a stern teacher and yet the love of music in that life sustains you often in this life. Now give us time. You were, in that life, a male. Now this was originally in a province three days away from Athens. Later your reputation spread and you moved to Athens. You had an earlier life at the time when the most important Greek plays were being written. In that life, the earlier one, you were an actor.

You dealt strongly with martial music and, in these terms, the music was used as a method of discipline rather than for freedom or spontaneity. You found that music had many purposes and uses and could be used in many ways, not only to inspire but to incite. To inspire love or to incite to violence. 1832 there to 1856, a very short life, under I believe a czar, and during this life, you met your present husband who was a young girl, the brother (sister?) of one of your students. This brief life taught you strongly, however, that music, as a portion of creativity, could be violently used by the state and by authority. You were at the time, extremely dogmatic, and you did not allow yourself full freedom with your instrument or with your life. You needed to know, however, the powers of music and the ways in which it could be used so that you would use it wisely, so there is no need to brood.

And in this children’s tale there were also, behind those who originated you, others who also watched carefully and gently and with great love. For as you were created, so you create and those thoughts of yours that you consider meaningless and that escape from you, and those dreams of yours that you consider meaningless and that escape from you, these are also given vitality and existence for you cannot help but create even as you have created.

Now, I am glad you liked my children’s tale. I do want to give our friend (Jane) more of a break, however, but let me tell you that in my own book I am not using children’s tales. You have been given children’s tales too often. Now they are lovely and there is meaning in them, and you here should understand the meaning of the tale I gave you. But beneath the stories of the beginning there are other things that you should know, and in my own book I will tell you what they are. And now, you see, I do not interrupt.
