“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane and I have had two most pleasant surprises since Seth gave the 860th session on June 13. We’d expected both events, but not so soon. On the 14th we received from Prentice-Hall our complimentary copies, just off the press, of Seth’s Psyche; then on the 18th we received Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality.

(Tonight, Jane repeated an idea she’d started talking about before holding the 861st nonbook session just a week ago: She thinks Seth is in the process of finishing Mass Events. “Not in the next couple of sessions, but he’s heading that way. He’s given all he can — or wants to — on the negative beliefs we hold as individuals and societies; he wants to start his next book [my emphasis] on how to positively work our way out of our challenges and create a much better world…. You know — that material I’ve been telling you about, on therapy and value fulfillment. I was even messing around with book titles today, though I know I shouldn’t do that.”¹

(9:29.) All of these qualities and attributes are given you by natural law. You are a cooperative species, and you are a loving one. Your misunderstandings, your crimes, and your atrocities, real as they are, are seldom committed out of any intent to be evil, but because of severe misinterpretations about the nature of good, and the means that can be taken toward its actualization. Most individual people know that in some inner portion of themselves. Your societies, governments, educational systems, are all built around a firm belief in the unreliability of human nature. “You cannot change human nature.” Such a statement takes it for granted that man’s nature is to be greedy, a predator, a murderer at heart. You act in accordance with your own beliefs. You become the selves that you think you are. Your individual beliefs become the beliefs of your society, but that is always a give-and-take.

(9:40 P.M. Jane said that in his dictation this evening, Seth covered some of the information she’d picked up from him nonverbally, then written about prior to the session that wasn’t held last Wednesday night. “But there’s also more there he didn’t get into yet.”)
