“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Once again Jane was very relaxed as we prepared for the session. “I could go to bed right now,” she said, “but it’s too early — I’d be getting up all night. Right now I don’t feel Seth around, though, but we’ll see … My spine’s got all kinds of feelings in it that I’m not used to, but they’re good ones. How does Seth sit? I’m not sitting too well. I felt just great in bed this afternoon. There’s a real fluid feeling there and in my back. But I feel him around now. …” She sipped wine while I worked on these notes.

Your educational systems, however, for all of their idealism, have largely ended up (pause) smothering the natural individual bents and leanings of children, and overemphasized instead the cultural organization. It became more important, then, for the child to conform to the culture rather than to follow its own individual natural leanings. Its own characteristic ways of dealing with nature were frowned upon, so that education does not work with the child’s abilities, but against them. Education then often goes against the grain of the natural person.
