“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The physical organism forms weak points through which the poison can be ejected. In order to save itself as a functioning unit, it sacrifices a portion of itself. The same thing happens with the mass psyche. Certain individuals are peculiarly suited for this function, because of their own inner background, the aggregate result of strong challenges they have set for themselves.

By naming the poison they attract it. They become, with full inner knowledge, vessels, or rather channels through which the poison can be to some extent ejected. Obviously this does not end the matter. But through them and their apparent destruction the poison is seen and recognized for what it is. Only then, in your system does this inner necessary realization come, because of the exterior circumstances.

These mass killings are your nation’s way of pinpointing an extremely dangerous inner trend, that otherwise could have far more severe worldwide consequences. Obviously serious consequences result from these particular recent murders.

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.

The ideals were mouthed but not believed. Individuals only gave them lip service, and yet individual and mass guilt grew because of the difference between ideals and behavior. The country did not face its own inner reality. You have a schizophrenic condition then. Those who stood in the positions of King (Martin Luther) and of both Kennedys bring the inner psychic problems to a head. In one way they act as physicians, but they are also the patient who dies.

There are close psychological connections in all cases—psychological web-works, and psychic recognitions that bring together the slayer and his victim, and these are known to the inner self. The stature and meaning behind the victim adds to the horrible nature of the act, and of course this is the point.

The point would not be nearly as clearly made, you see, were the victim a man giving himself to crime. He must be in one way or another a symbol of those idealized qualities that the individual and the massed natives of the land give lip service to. These ideals are highly vital and important. The strength of the inner unrecognized hatred and aggression can be disastrous, and yet it works for the service of the ideal.

It operates, this aggression operates, as a constant check. It shows the rate of progress. It is a measure by which you can see failures. Were it not for this you could fool yourself, as your nation fooled itself for some years, not realizing its inner psychic condition. The ideals then are mouthed, but they are not taken seriously. Without these recent deaths, your country could have initiated a disastrous war.

Without these murders the nation would not know what was wrong with itself. The murders are symptoms, but without symptoms the patient will not realize that anything is wrong with the inner self.

He courted or adopted his dead brother’s characteristics and gestures not because, as it was thought, he wanted to bank upon his prestige, but because he had an inner compulsion to do so, knowing the events that would occur.

His effectiveness and his role are completed, however. I believe he will succumb. This is his moment however, and his inner choice. The next moment is never predetermined. Never, regardless of what you may hear. The individual can change the probabilities. They point now to his death. (Pause.

C A C H E (spelled out) and more money to come; but it was known in advance it would not be delivered. N I. (Spelled.) The woman in the background mentioned earlier. The three at the meeting strongly connected with another group of seven men. (Pause.) An inner portion of an organization. And unclear here: the organization is not a front organization, yet it is not what it seems to be either.

A strong coming-into or focusing of inner reality into the objective form of the painting. You are allowing now the inner form to come out fully, and, to bring its own reality and environment with it. (Pause.)
