“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

One of the reasons, Joseph, for your own lack of festive spirit in the past has been the result of your realization that this gap between idealism and action is great. You could not therefore enter into what you felt to be the hypocrisy of the season. All the more since you have no particular conviction, anymore than Ruburt has, concerning the historic existence of a Christ.

Again it seems, as I believe one time before, he is in a room that is at least partially below ground level. With chairs, many chairs in it, of the straight-backed variety.

He made a trip to his office, and spoke briefly with one man there. (Pause.) Again, some sort of connection with a small black box, very small. The top is black. I do not know about the bottom half.

(“One, two, three, or three of a kind,” can be the July 3 postmark date on the envelope. The envelope is addressed to Jane and me, “yourself and Ruburt,” but we do not particularly see where “afternoon” comes in. I remember the photograph of Jane and me taken at Marathon, Florida. “A border” regarding the test object does not ring a bell, but “Horizontal lines that are similar to each other,” are the postmark cancellation lines. The letter was mailed in July, “a spring or summer month.”

Now. I am going to give you a brief session, since you do have one coming, and you have been most faithful.

This feeling that Christmas represented hypocrisy has been one of the main reasons for your own low spirits during the season, for it represented a rather deep disillusionment with the culture in which you were nurtured.

The character of Christ as it is portrayed is an excellent one, since it stressed human rather than specifically male qualities. Or should I say it stressed human qualities rather than those unfortunately considered male qualities. It stressed the best qualities of the race as a whole.
