“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Your sexuality is a point of focus, and that is all. For those of you who need it said, I say it: A woman is as intellectual as a man. A man is as intuitive as a woman. You chose your sexual focus for a reason. The reason has more to do with the flexibility of consciousness than you presently understand. It has to do with the real nature of aggression and passivity,¹ which you have allowed yourselves to forget … Birth is an aggressive experience. Passivity is based upon the joyful recognition of natural aggression. To be carried along, each of you must be very sure of yourself. To allow yourself what is now, in your terms, a luxury of passivity, you must have confidence in the nature of your own reality and strength. Otherwise passivity frightens you to the core.

[...] The ancient mother-goddess concept became “unconscious”; the male, purposely forgetting the great natural aggressive thrust of birth, took physical aggression and force as his prerogative — for this came to represent the quality of ego consciousness in its need to physically manipulate its environment.
