“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.

Concentration upon natural data, as mentioned often of late, offers a healthy return to the body’s biological reality, and to its stance in space and time.

I will have a brief session because of the week’s circumstances—but also because I want each of you, by our next regular session, to reread the material thus far. That is just as important, for I do not want it to fade into the background of your attention. You can learn to reinforce each other’s courage, good nature, and optimism. You can help each other by reminding the other at various times to return to the moment’s prime data.

“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.

(10:42.) Give us a moment.... I am hopefully leading you along a road, and I believe that you have each examined your beliefs more lately than you have in some time. Ruburt’s condition is definitely reversible. That fact follows all of the other information I have ever given you philosophically. Your individual and joint feelings about threat have to one extent or another made Ruburt believe that he needed that protection.
