“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] There are disasters and dead end roads that your race has avoided completely, because in other systems of reality the lessons were learned and learned well.

[...] Some probable selves would have shattering dreams of disaster. [...]

I am speaking theoretically, but those in the probable system, according to their own knowledge and capabilities, could also help your own system to avert disaster under certain conditions. [...]

[...] Epidemics by their public nature speak of public problems — problems that sociologically threaten to sweep the individual to psychic disaster as the physical materialization does biologically.

[...] They do not anticipate disaster when no signs of it are apparent in their immediate environment. [...]

[...] If they did not die of the disease, they may have ‘fallen prey’ to an accident, or died in a war, or in a natural disaster.

Foremost, connected with the distortions about creativity and expression, is the belief that knowledge itself is dangerous, evil, and bound to lead to disaster. [...]

[...] The books, and your drawings in their own way, bring out in people those qualities that they need and have needed to help combat the attitudes that initiated such economic “disasters.”

[...] The fact is that your society often involves you in petty annoyances and problems that do not bring out your full strengths; disasters often serve as encounters with nature, in which you can experience the great power and range of your own identities in a situation in which you are pushed to the utmost.

In its own way, a neighborhood fire serves the same purpose, among others, and so does a local or regional disaster. [...]

[...] No matter how often certain trapeze acts may be repeated, for example, there is always the threat of instant disaster — of missed footing, a final plunge. [...]

THE EVENTS OF “NATURE.”
EPIDEMICS AND NATURAL DISASTERS

[...] Only when the private nature of reality was emphasized sufficiently would I be ready to show how the magnification of individual reality combines and enlarges to form vast mass reactions — such as, say, the initiation of an obviously new historical and cultural period; the rise or overthrow of governments; the birth of a new religion that sweeps all others before it; mass conversions; mass murders in the form of wars; the sudden sweep of deadly epidemics; the scourge of earthquakes, floods, or other disasters; the inexplicable appearance of periods of great art or architecture or technology.

(10:39.) We have begun Part 1, to be called: “The Events of ‘Nature.’ Epidemics and Natural Disasters.”

[...] No epidemic or illness or natural disaster — or stray bullet from a murderer’s gun — will kill a person who does not want to die.

[...] Civilizations were often warned in advance of natural disasters that were apparent to the visitors with their greater viewpoint.

[...] Often warnings of disaster were not followed. [...]

[...] It was for this reason that many attempts were made to warn against the impending disaster. [...]

[...] The beliefs lead to the most dire legends, in which the gifted person always pays in one way or another for the valued gifts of self-expression — through disaster, misfortune, or death.

When massive doses of LSD are used, you are artificially creating a disaster area from which you hope to salvage an efficient working self. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Faced with the exterior nightmares of wars and natural disasters, the conscious mind is still directed outward into that world with which it knows it was formed to cope. [...]

[...] In times of seemingly calamitous encounters with nature, individuals may find themselves amazed at their capacity to relate with other people, but in the artificially induced psychic disaster area of massive LSD therapy, the situation is reversed. [...]

Many of you believe that it is safe to make a nuclear bomb, but that it is insane to use your dreams as another method of manipulating daily life; or that it is all right to be consciously aware of your viruses, wars, and disasters, but that it is not all right to be consciously aware of other portions of the self that could solve such problems.

[...] Yet many people are frightened of remembering dreams because they fear that a dream of disaster will necessarily be followed by such an event. [...]

[...] It is obvious, of course, that the overall physical stability of the earth is possible because of the ever-occurring storms, “natural disasters,” and other seeming calamities. [...]

[...] A battle recreated in the mind reinforces the original psychic explosion and contemplation of war helps project that disaster into the future. [...]

[...] They are aware of approaching natural disasters, and when possible will leave such areas. [...]

[...] We agreed that the film had been quite mild—that any real disaster would be unimaginably worse. [...]

[...] If you are interested in disasters and looking for them, then telepathically you will also pick up disasters so that your dreams always seem negative and filled with foreboding. [...]

[...] The “new” Freudian ideas of the unsavory unconscious led further to a new dilemma, for it was then—as it is now—widely believed that as the result of experiences in infancy the subconscious, or unconscious, might very well sabotage the best interests of the conscious personality, and trick it into illness and disaster.

[...] One life is all you have, and that one is everywhere beset by the threat of illness, disaster, and war—and if you escape such drastic circumstances, then you are still left with a life that is the result of no more than lifeless elements briefly coming into a consciousness and vitality that is bound to end.

[...] What forerunners of disaster such natural signs must seem (exclamation point)! [...]

For all of life’s seeming misfortunes, development, fulfillment, and accomplishment far outweigh death, diseases, and disasters. [...]

Remind yourself that for all you might have read, or heard, or deduced earlier, it is certainly not inevitable that all unfortunate situations take the darkest of tones, and that indeed the opposite is true; for if such were the case, the world and all of life would have literally been destroyed through disasters and calamities.
