“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I said before that no man acts out of the desire to be evil, but has always justified to himself his actions precisely by his own “good” intent. If envy is felt it is not acknowledged. The religious area in general, from time immemorial, has dealt intensely and sometimes one-mindedly with “the good ideal.” That ideal, however, different in one area than in another, was usually self-righteously applied with a vengeance and fanatical zest, so that all things outside it were seen as evil.

Those people then can be seen for what they are. Regardless of appearances at sometimes, fanatics do not rule the world. Otherwise there would be none—meaning no world. These are not authority figures putting Ruburt down, or our work. They are sick people. While you are ahead of your times, therefore, it is very important that you realize that the world is not against you. It is not out there ready to pounce.

(9:57.) The world is not leaping to listen to those people. In a news-hungry city, they will remain without headlines. Quality is respected more than you realize. If you try to retire from the world in whatever fashion, then it is easy to exaggerate such threats, while never encountering one, or giving yourself the opportunity of easily conquering it.

The entire question brings out, however, those more important issues of self-righteousness, for in its name crimes are perpetrated that the self-confessed “sinner” would never attempt.

Now I bid you a fond good evening. And when I get you set, we will go on to our book, and any other philosophical material you are interested in. End of session.
