“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It is indeed what you saw, and has for you a deep meaning. The religious connotation from your past life, given a modern interpretation. (Pause.) The crucifix always appalled you, but not the bare cross symbol.

In the past the crucifix was to you a symbol of the Roman Catholic church, and distasteful. The bare cross to you had a pure Protestant feeling. You did not have, in the past life, any idea of joy connected with religion, however, the cross being then a symbol of death, leading to a Puritan afterlife.

Your cross now hangs freely and is not static, you see. It is a symbol of who you were in your last life.

This sculp represents more, literally, than your past life’s feeling, since it is, now, a mobile cross. There will be a change of simple relationships within the structure, and of color and texture, to follow. A less balanced but more maneuverable symbol—still based on this structure however.

(We sat quietly for perhaps a minute. This is how I had received the data for the cross sculp. Now after a bit I thought I had a quick inner picture of a group of men gathered about a church pulpit, somewhat in the distance. Another view or two of a church interior followed, and I was aware, briefly, of empty seats. I kept in mind that suggestion could be operating here.)

Obviously, even if I could make it an iron cross that size would be incredibly heavy to hang from our ceiling. So I slowly built up a replica from layers of illustration board, and painted it black. The cross now hangs easily and lightly in a corner of our living room.
