“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jim H. told of finding a man asleep at his work. Jim explained his ideas and emotions concerning the incident, and wanted to know how he could change them.)

(Jim H.: “You don’t just automatically think good things about this fellow, and repress the negative thoughts without becoming aware of what you felt.”)

(Jim H.: “In the beginning, before we compounded the frustration and the emotional charges, would you have recommended an action like saying, ‘Come on, this is wrong. I’ve probably done this sort of thing myself, but it really bugs me. We have to get up and get to work here.’ Would being honest with him at that level have prevented these charges?”)

(Jim H.: “I don’t want to direct the brunt of my anger at either of us. One, I don’t want to kick him. Two, I don’t want to hurt myself in some way.”)

(Jim H.: “Yes. I want to learn how to handle such feelings, without trying to repress them.”)

(Jim H.: “Now would you define bad in that context?”)

(Jim H.: “The first night I was here you said, ‘We will see more of you.’ You were quite definitive about it. I’ve often wondered, why the certainty?”)

(Jim H.: “To me that implies a prior knowledge of our lives.”)

It has seemed to many of you that you have been tinged by evil, from birth. (To Jim H.): In one of your past lives you not only heartily believed this, but taught it.

As Ruburt would put it, your sidekick over here (Jim’s wife, Jean) did not go along with your ideas at all in that life. She was a male at that time, however, and you were a female and a priestess. So was your friend (Bert C.). As a male in that life she had an expanding effect upon your personality, but you were very given to ritual and a belief in magic acts, and to the idea that existence in itself was evil and wrong. You were indeed a member of the sect now called Gnostic.

(Jim H.: “Is that why I react so strongly against Gnosticism now, because I’ve gone beyond that point?”)
