“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.

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.

These accomplishments are not the ones for which you pat yourselves on the back however. Nature as you know it is also a result of your decision to handle large amounts of energy without strong imposed restraints. The beauties within it are often the result of violent changes, of strong energy, used to change pattern and form, and yet maintain a definite stability. The end products—your foliage, landscapes and skies for example, are of the highest esthetic nature: as esthetic productions they are unequalled.
