“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Yesterday Jane told me of the message she thought she had received from Seth. In it Seth compared our idea of space travel to traveling from the basement of a building to the top floor; and for a building he used as an example the ancient Tower of Babel.)

Your idea of space travel is indeed as ridiculous as trying to build a huge, tall structure many stories high, and considering this building as a space vehicle. Buildings may be used for many things; as space vehicles you will admit they would be hilarious. For one thing they are attached to your earth. For another, traveling from the basement up to some sixtieth story hardly would bring you any closer in any real manner to the stars.

Through Ruburt’s subconscious I picked up the old legend of the Tower of Babel, and yet this is precisely what you are attempting now in space travel. You almost hope, to continue the analogy, that you could construct a building high enough to reach the stars.

I am explaining this matter rather thoroughly because we will be getting to matters concerning the entity and its personality developments. The entity, for example, works with the same sort of individual cooperation, and uses building blocks of energy in much the same manner, that the atoms and molecules in the physical world combine to form cells, organs, and the whole structure of the physical body.
