“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The only way to avoid facing the problem you see was to limit the amount of free energy allotted to the individual, and available en masse. Also safeguards were automatically built into the physical structure so that accumulations of energy could not be repressed—so no buildup could then emerge with violent overtones. Those in this system take further steps very slowly, and it will be more difficult for them to learn to handle large amounts of energy constructively. Those in your own system are more venturesome, more daring. Consciousness is far too varied. No one system could contain it or satisfy it. Generally speaking then, individual entities choose the system which suits their personalities and general leanings. Your system presents a rather abrupt, explosive entrance into largely organized consciousness, but on an individual basis.

Those in your system are relatively impatient, have decided to work with large amounts of energy. Your physical system itself rapidly responds and mirrors the use of this energy. Results are seen quickly. Large groupings and regroupings occur within the mass psyche, huge waves of energy as the race makes important decisions. All of this is done on an unconscious basis, but as a teaching method the results must be seen physically.

It is the clay which you form so that you can see the results of your mental work. You become extremely engrossed in the activity, but you also know in deeper layers of your personality that your existence and the existence of the race will continue.

Quite frankly, your earth is expendable, for it will be created again as often as it is needed. I use the term again, speaking in terms of time again for you. But understand (smile) that others are forming their own clay of realities simultaneously. If they do not like what they have created often they throw it away; but always with the idea of learning from their errors, and forming another from the knowledge they have gained.

In one way all of this happens in the blinking of an eyelid. But in terms of value fulfillment you see, you explore it thoroughly. As you know, there is no destruction, and yet in other terms you must believe for a while that there is, if you are going to work for the good of yourselves and others, as you must.

This does not mean that they will not have to progress, that they will not have to learn, but it does mean that they will not be allowed to pass through without helping others regardless of their own intent. In some cases such a situation may be set up by a portion of the personality itself, though this is not usual.

There is no probable solution, you see, to mankind’s difficulties, that is not being tried out in some probable system. There are systems where no violence is allowed, but full energy is given. The teaching process there is different. The system, the body system, short-circuits itself at the contemplation of violent behavior.
