“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Once you accept, you see, that idea then you must, if you follow your thought completely through, accept the idea of a random accidental universe in which you are at the mercy of any accident; in which mind or purpose have little meaning; in which you are at the mercy of all random happenings; in which 300,000 human beings can be swept off the face of the planet without reason, without cause, simply at the whim of an accidental happening. And if that is the universe in which you believe that you live then it is a dire and forbidding universe, indeed. In that universe the individual has little hope for he will return to the nonexistence that his random physical creation came from. Following that line of thought, then accidentally, if you follow this through, a group of atoms and molecules were sparked into consciousness and song and then will return to the chaos from which they came. And the individual has no control over his destiny for it can be swept aside at any point by random fate over which he has no recourse.

A mistake is when you do not know what you are doing, when momentarily, you lose sight of your goals or when you do not live up to them. You can turn a mistake into a challenge. If you make a mistake you can learn from it because you realize it is your fault. If, on the other hand, you believe an accident happens to you that you had nothing to do with, you can learn nothing from it except to duck. This was your break.

There is no accidental universe. You create the accidents. You create the triumphs. Now, each of you create the ambiguous universe that you live in, and you project your ideas of reality upon it.
