“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now development is a journey within creativity. You have at your command literally infinite amounts of energy. In your terms you are, if you prefer, latent Gods. You must learn to handle and use this energy. As mentioned earlier this evening, you will create. You cannot help creating now, anymore than you can help breathing and when you breathe no longer you still create. You cannot escape your own creations. It is not death any of you have to worry about. It is your own creations and you cannot blame your own creations upon any God or any fact or any predestination. If you want to speak in terms of God, then from that infinite gestalt you receive the energy to create, but because you have free will, you create what you choose and you learn through experience.

(During break Kyle asked why Seth came through so forcefully.)

Then we will let  you take my place. Now, to some extent, what you say is true and yet much of this is not of my doing. The voice mechanism, unfortunately, is something that we must work with and to get my own personality across through the female image and vocal chords, certain adjustments must be made. Beyond this, however, as I believe I mentioned in a few classes, it is not out of the inner sense of my invisible heart but out of the depths of your own psychology that you make me into the image of a wise old man and project upon me authority images that lurk in your own mind. I have always tried to keep you from making this error and always sought to release from within yourselves your own abilities. And told you that knowledge must be directly experienced. You will not learn nearly as much from me as you will through traveling through your own inner self and searching into the reality of yourself for other realities that are also there of which your are unaware. Now my voice is loud but the voice of the inner self is very still and you must be quiet to hear it and so from the loudness of my voice let your self run inward into that silence that is very active.

([Arnold:] ‘Either I misunderstood before, or I am misunderstanding now, I thought each personality, each portion of a whole self, went through these pulses.”)

Now you stand, or you sit, in the middle of forces that are a part of you. These are not alien forces of which we speak, these are not things that happen to you. They are forces that emanate from your own being and you can, to some extent, become aware of them. The methods have been given, not only by me, but by others through the centuries. You are not nearly as lonely within yourselves as you suppose that you are. You have only shut out the other messages that come to you all the time. You are not divided from your fellow man unless you choose to be.

(To Pete.) Over here we find a connection with Iraq, a strong psychic ability and you hide behind words often, to avoid experience. Not experience with others, or relating with others, but to avoid inner experience. You are accepting secondhand experience through your reading and through the use of your intellect and then attempting to apply it, but without the inner experimentation.

(To Natalie.) For over here in our kind and very excellent secretary. There is a bleed-through of material from an Irish existence as a young boy of fourteen. I see you as a Brian Donlevy, in a town 30 or 35 miles from Dublin in 1831 at the time of a hidden rebellion, as a runner. As a runner between the Catholic Irish and Englishmen and in a time of terror. Two brothers who were priests and yet it seems from what I am getting, that you did what only can be called spy work for them. That matters of money and inheritance entered in and that they were on the side of the English for those reasons. Therefore, you were in a highly ambiguous position. 1831 to 1862. Rather aggressive, hotheaded. I see you playing in the church, mimicking the priest and playing with the vestments. You sired a son at the age of fourteen. Your brothers knew this, the priests, and they used this knowledge to incite you to act as a spy for them.
