“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

That freedom, however, of course has been highly limited in nature, for the dogma of Christianity still largely held. There were, however, other reasons also—to do the church some small justice (amused). If God could tell a man to slay a son, and if private revelation were granted validity, then “divinely inspired crimes” might not only be legion, but might also take man’s energies away from accepted Godly pursuits—like fighting the infidels or heretics at home (all louder).

You have had a schism, in which reason and emotion seemed to be opposites. Revelation and reason seemed to be enemies. Yet as the approach of the scientific age appeared, before its blossoming, so new tendencies are now showing that do indeed signal a new era, in which the emotions and intellect are no longer regarded as opposing tendencies in man.

Do you have any questions?

(“I guess not. I haven’t taken the time to think of any. Do you?” This was the first time I’d ever asked Seth if he had any questions we could answer. My little tactic didn’t work, though.)

Then I bid you a fond good evening—and again, my congratulations on “Unknown”—the book—and all of them do indeed have a part to play in the new era that is approaching. The “New Aquarian Age” may be an exaggeration, and about it are grouped many distorted ideas—yet it is a popular term that stands for an insight on the part of the people, and is a result of quite valid inner knowledge that an era is ending, and that another has to some extent already begun.
