“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, mankind builds civilizations. He has gone beyond the child’s game. The toys are real, and yet basically the analogy holds. I am not condoning those violences that occur. The fact is that they can never be condoned, and yet they must be understood for what they are: man learning through his own errors. He also learns by his successes, and there are times when he holds his hand, moments of deliberation, periods of creativity. (Pause.) Identities take many roles in many lives.

Christendom may well have perished along with the rest of the world, but this possibility would not have been considered, so narrow and evilly self-righteous were the governing powers at the time.

Now there is a reason why these lessons must be learned in just this way. Elementally there is only creativity. Destruction is merely the changing of form. A cloudburst or a tornado knows nothing of destruction. This same energy encased within a human form is something else. There are different kinds of creativity, then, to learn, and a specialization in energy is focus and feelings that emerge; elemental energy becoming conscious of itself, and aware of issues that did not exist for it earlier; millions of molecules momentarily united with the living consciousness (pause), filled with primal energy, now learning love, and forming highly sensitive psychic patterns, electrical charges that now form emotions instead of clouds; the innocent chaos of undifferentiated personality that exists behind the highly specified and truly sophisticated mechanism of one thought. And all of this before an individual is born within your system. In terms of time this is behind us all.

This is some of the most important material that I have given you, for you have wondered about the purpose, and have been able often to see but one small speck of time and space.

Now a storm at times will fascinate many, and so will such a violence, but a highly destructive storm will find few going abroad in it. Each participator sensed the chaos to which he had direct access (emphatic). He feared it then and afterward, even in his fascination, because he was bound to recognize that it would sweep he and his enemy into insanity or death.(...him and..?)

Many of the participators have never known that they had access to such energy, therefore the notion that such energy could be used creatively never entered their heads. Many of them felt tiny, alone and powerless. Now the energy alone was exhilarating. For the first time many of the participators realized intuitively that such energy was also the source of creativity.

Many will try various methods of re-experiencing the energy, in order to release creative feelings they did not know they possessed. Their energy of course was neutral. It was their use of it at the time that caused the destructive elements.

The energy that was liberated has already changed your national scene, and will continue to do so. Such massive liberations of energy will be used, but not in your lifetime, to begin to unify the whole planet, in peace. This will not happen before disasters also occur, but when it does happen it will represent the first such time within the planet’s history where there was peace with equality for all.

They exploded, and were recreated many times, disappeared and returned. They would seem to pulsate. To you they would seem to disappear for eons. To them their existence was continuous. As atoms and molecules give your chairs a reality within your system even though the atoms and molecules come and go, so this planetary system still retains its reality. (Pause.)

(Jane paused again. Her pace was slow in here, and she used many gestures, drawing pictures in the air, frowning at times.)
