“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You were, in the second life mentioned, an uncle to the twins. In the beginning you were stricken by poverty, but taken in by a wealthy man in a town within this province. There you performed as a young man household chores but learned the flute from the younger son of the family. Early you became far more proficient than he was. You were given his flute, and he did not take kindly to this fact. You used the flute to free yourself from the household and your position. You took with you two nephews. For some years, however, while you were financially secure yourself, you could not support them, and they were let out to the house of another wealthy man.

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.
