“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(We also speculated that Seth might refer to what may be called the “Jonestown Affair,” or something like it. This had erupted in a mass suicide, involving over 400 Americans, in the community of Jonestown in what was formerly British Guyana, in South America. A US congressman was also murdered, along with media network people, etc. The sect, called the People’s Temple, had been created by Jim Jones, a charismatic fundamentalist who had eventually been hounded out of the U.S. for many reasons, to then set up his town for his devoted religious followers in Guyana. The whole thing had a weird unbelievability about it, as Jane and I watched the TV reports and read—and saved – the newspaper accounts.

(I haven’t started any new creative ventures yet, although I’ve done considerable work filing, organizing records, etc., to set the stage for whatever develops. I will soon be painting again. We expect to receive the copyedited Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality by December 7, and this is to keep us occupied until Christmas. At least, Tam doesn’t want us putting it in the mail until after the Christmas rush is over.)

Religious concepts that stress obedience over expression can also bring about civic disorder.
