“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

To some extent the churches as well as the scientists are responsible, but priests and scientists are not some foreign people, thrust upon you. They represent various aspects of yourselves. The species developed its own kind of consciousness, as it found it necessary to isolate itself to some degree from its environment and the other creatures within it. As a result, the religions preached that only man had a soul and was dignified by emotional feelings. In its way science went along very nicely by postulating man in a mechanistic world, with each creature run by an impeccable machine of instinct, blind alike to pain or desire.

Now. (With dry humor again:) Before my comments for Ruburt: I thought my risqué remark about “no holes barred” was quite in keeping with the content of such material. It is difficult to be prissy when discussing such a topic — but if you feel that others might be offended, do as you wish.

(Until she told me following the session, I didn’t realize that Jane was slightly discomfited by Seth’s remark about holes. I certainly wasn’t. I thought that her reaction itself was humorous; apparently Seth did too. In any case, we obviously didn’t delete the passage.
