“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(We did not know which personality would speak this evening, nor what subjects would be covered. We sat for the session as usual at 9 PM. As it developed Seth spoke the entire evening, in a voice about as usual, with pauses, eyes open often.)

I am not condoning, you understand, the situation. The inner hate and aggression has not been recognized by the nation in the past. A holier-than-thou attitude developed into a spiritual hypocrisy. A portion of this was the result of ideals that could not be lived up to in practical terms—an overidealization. This does not mean that good intentions caused these situations.

Initiated. Without the struggle for these ideals a complacent vacuum develops. Now the real struggle for these ideals results in strength. The struggle results in strength. (Long pause.) If there is an honest struggle, an honest effort toward peace and brotherhood, then even if war erupts on a practical level then the psychic development is healthier than if no effort toward peace is made, or if ideals are merely mouthed.

Strength does not come in national terms, real strength, by bullying aggressive stance. But it does come when the people within a nation are making an honest effort to bring about in physical reality the materialization of their individual and mass ideals. The best that is in them, whatever their point of development. The unity and strength is psychically recognized.

Now, we will end the session, and you may turn on your monster screen, and watch for developments. There were several other issues I would have touched upon, and there is information concerning the entire family that you would find interesting.
