“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, it is good that sometimes you answer each other’s questions. It brings out things that you do not realize that you know, and you help each other. I like to see it. There are also some excellent points in that book and I will at some time, in your terms, begin a discussion or a monologue, on the origin of mankind as you know it.

(To Florence.) And I would like you, dear Lady of Florence, to be aware of the questions asked by your inner self and not follow the intellect around like a puppy following its tail from one circle without answer to another for you limit the extent of your imagination in such a way. You form circles about yourself. You do not use your intellect to lead you to freedom but often as a leash.

You are learning to adjust the leash and now and then with great caution you allow yourself to wander a fingertip away without it. The inner self keeps propelling you to class, however, even though your intellect becomes more frenzied. In one respect, you see, and in a very important respect, the basic answers cannot be given to you, they must be experienced by you. You will know them in the way that you know that you breathe, but you may find it very difficult to vocalize them.

Now, the closest answers so far to the last question that you asked was given (to Arnold) over here. Now that is only natural since we have an old African god amongst us. You need to exercise your own intuition to some extent. You need to vocalize them because by hearing the words you realize what you actually feel and believe. Therefore, I would like our Lady from Florence to ask her question again, and I would like the people in class to give an answer.

Now, in particular I would like to hear answers from here (to Arnold) and here (to Dennis) and from the silent one in the back of the chair (to Laurie), and first of all I would like to make a remark to our friend (to Florence) and it is this. You believe that the intuitions and the intellect are natural enemies, and they are not so there need be no battleground between with you in the middle. Now, let us see what answers you come up with, and I will be listening.

Now, I want you to think before you ask other questions, and that is why I interrupted you, and why I will blink out and let Ruburt blink on before you come on with the next one. The puzzle exists multidimensionally. You see me in the guise of my most timely self, and I will answer your question in the terms in which you ask it since I cannot coax you to ask another question in its stead. In the terms in which you asked the question, and only in that context, you are in kindergarten. When you learn to rephrase the question you will not be in kindergarten.

Now I speak to each one of you when I say those words. It did all of you good mentally, psychically, spiritually and imaginatively to try to answer our friend’s question for the same question, in precisely the same terms, was in the back of many of your minds. So often when our friend asks a question, she does not merely ask it for herself, although she supposes that she does. She also picks up questions from you telepathically and gives voice to them. She does this all the while being sure that she does not have psychic abilities to develop and is not using them at all.

Origin. Now, do not forget that through the centuries, and through time, information had to be given according to the background of the time, and oftentimes questions had to be answered in the terms in which they were asked and the questions themselves that were asked were often loaded. The questions themselves, and forgive me, my dear Lady of Florence, the questions themselves could not be answered within a semblance of truth because the questions were basically meaningless in the real fabric of reality so this has much to do with the distortions also that have come down through the ages, both in the Bible and many other writings. And now I leave you with only one word, and the word is, “origin.”
