“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now we can do no more with our friend this evening. It is all right. He is all right. One small note. The episode last evening was aggressively disrupting to some extent. Mainly because of the inner attitudes of those involved. Symbolically, you see, and beneath it all, both men showed characteristics that under different circumstances could have led them into violence for the sake of their beliefs.

A belief must not possess. They were psychically adding to the unfortunate circumstances over which they argued, and both equally were at fault for this reason. A battle recreated in the mind reinforces the original psychic explosion and contemplation of war helps project that disaster into the future. To argue aggressively that war is wrong is ironic stupidity, for such an individual already displays those characteristics that lead to war.

It is wrong to think that restraint under such circumstances or discussions is cowardly, though of course, it may be. To refrain from argument while simultaneously and deliberately forcing thoughts or pictures of peace, represents a positive action. The intensity of the peaceful images or thoughts unfortunately rarely match the intensity of the bitterness, you see. Thoughts of reconciliation or peace actually and practically do their bit to destroy the causes of war. Since Ruburt has somewhat come around, you may take a break and I shall continue.
