“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

We do not have too many comments but one I am bound to make. You are here to develop abilities. You did not lose any status by adapting physical existence. There is an interpretation to the meaning of the fall, in Biblical terms, and on another occasion I will tell you what it is but do not expect the philosophy that tells you automatically that by becoming human you have degraded yourselves. This is another story fully as destructive as that of original sin, simply put in different terms.

And you are doing very well indeed. With the last remark you backtracked.

([Arnold:] “But we do advance don’t we?”)

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.

Some of you have been very active this week and remember that you have been active, and again, some of you have been active and do not remember that they have been active.

(To Mary Ellen.) You are doing very well in some respects and need some balance in others.

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.”
