“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Topside, those people see themselves as a tiny group crying in the wilderness, unrecognized, unheeded, prophets to whom no one will listen. To some extent the murderer in whom they are so interested (Son of Sam) sees himself in the same light. These are pseudo-intellectuals all, murderer included—people with some abilities, however, but pretenders to crowns. They are seeking for a positive cause to rally about, but their beliefs and self-deceptions make this impossible.

When ideals are set more or less artificially, greatly divorced from man’s nature, he cannot begin to live up to them. Usually these are, for one thing, too narrow and sterile. The ensuing guilt is the power that turns such a person into a fanatic. I hope to teach you a tolerance for others, for this will ensure the greatest development of your own abilities, and will also give you a more realistic view of the world.

“Unknown” Reality will do very well. I am pleased with it. Your own abilities, on your part (to me), outweighed the considerable negative projections. Now when you act, as when at various times you encountered Prentice with definite complaints, or requests, there you were making a positive response to a specific condition, with good results.
