“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now: Records were often falsified; completely doctored, and false records were often planted. Religion was politics. It implied sway and power over the masses.

Some sects kept false records on purpose as blinds, so that if these were stolen, the robbers would think they had what they were after.

(10:06.) There were various marks made, however, to distinguish the various sets of records, true and false. (Jane paused as Seth, a hand to her eyes.) Now, I do not know whether or not we can get this through clearly… Give Ruburt a piece of paper, and together we will see.

Some of the distorted records have been taken as fact, and it is a good joke to realize that the Vatican holds some of these. At the time, the church believed that these records could harm it.

These people were much given to codes; even the arrangement of the letters upon the pages, as you think of pages, had their meanings. The weight or thickness of various strokes had meaning in terms of emphasis. There were even certain ways of handling a preceding word, so that the word would be a clue that the next word was false. Only those in the know would recognize this, of course, and the others would merrily digest the false information.
