[...] In Christ’s time, the phrase about the meek inheriting the earth implied the energetic use of affirmation, of love and peace.

[...] Indeed, I think those attributes of All That Is must have long ago formed strong portions of the psychic atmosphere that, one might say, encircles the earth and affects all below. [...]

[...] I believe that those particular aspects of scientific consciousness and religious consciousness will be with us for a very long time, for in our chosen earthly reality a larger consciousness—and, ultimately, All That Is—has opted for much long-range exploration of those two closely related portions of itself. [...]

(Long pause at 9:26.) There is, beneath it all, an important unity, a sense of communion, as one portion of earth’s living consciousness dies to insure the continued life of all nature. [...]

[...] The animals understand, on their own, that life on any terms that are physical ends with death—that the physical properties must be returned to the earth from which they came….

[...] That Seth then seeded himself, so to speak, in the space-time environment you recognize — appearing through the centuries, sending out offshoots of “himself,” exploring earthly experience and developing as well as he could those potentials of his own greater identity that could best be brought to fruition within a creature context.²

[...] The blueprint gave him an idea of his potentials, and how they could be best fulfilled in earthly terms.³

[...] In the same way, all the members of any given psychic family are spread across the earth, following inner patterns that may or may not relate to other issues as they are currently understood.

The earth is filled

(9:40.) Your historical time is, say, but one species of time that dwells upon the earth. [...]

[...] It occurred—but Paul did not see, or communicate with (long pause), a person of divine heritage, sent by his father to earth, who lived the life of the official Christ, and who was crucified. [...]

[...] The nature of the earth sustains its creatures, and overall, while there may be floods or earthquakes, you can rely upon the sustenance of the earth.

[...] So the families are meant to be understood as general categories into which earth-tuned consciousnesses fall more or less naturally.

[...] The “natural earth parents” [the Borledim] and the Sumari, for instance, are very close, and yet have great difficulty in merging, because one considers the family itself as art, and the other subordinates the family for a different kind of art. [...]

[...] In order to develop his own kind of individualized awareness, man had to consciously ignore for a while his own place within the structure of the earth. [...]

[...] The man, the slayer, understood the great sense of harmony that existed even in the slaying, and knew that in turn the physical material of his body would be used by the earth to replenish the vegetable and animal kingdoms.

At one time on your earth, in the way you look at time, there were many such species: water dwellers, with brain capacities as good as and better than your own. [...]

See the wide world circus spread
Upon the earth’s great sacred ground.
The masks at midnight tumble down
And the great stone faces stare.

Old hates lie in wait for the infant
As he grows into a man,
Then they leap upon him
When he puts his father’s coat on.
When the father’s bones drop into the grave,
The lice flock up as the dark earth falls
To feed on a son’s guilt love.

The flood represented a mass psychic symptom projected upon the earth. [...] But you can no more separate yourselves from the body of the earth and its condition than you can from your own bodies.

If this information comes from a personality no longer in physical form upon your earth, then surely this is an indication that death is but entrance into another dimension.

[...] These, in this particular other dimension, appear as something that could be compared to the winds that sweep across your own earth.

[...] You would have ordinarily returned your stock to the earth in terms of children, and yet instead decided upon bringing forth a new birth of ideas, so that your extended family is the family of your readership. [...]

[...] But that does not mean there are not future lives in earthly terms for you. [...]

[...] But it possesses a sense of wholeness and of overall integrity, for it knows that it continues to exist, though under different conditions, and it realizes that this change is as natural and necessary as the change of seasons if each individual is to continue to exist, while the earth itself possesses the nutriments necessary to the survival of physical life.

[...] You realize that someone — some interested observer — viewing the earth from another planet in another galaxy, would be seeing what you think of as earth’s past. But as I pointed out, “he” might also be seeing earth’s future,⁹ according to “his” viewpoint. [...]

[...] I have been conscious before your earth was formed. [...]

The fact is that each of you create your own physical reality; and en masse, you create both the glories and the terrors that exist within your earthly experience. [...]

[...] The [name] Johnson brings in the woman’s sense of strength, and yet says that she is of ordinary heritage—a person of the earth, a powerful person in her way—and the connections with your associations have to do with the late President Johnson. [...]

[...] The hoped-for spiritual heaven on earth—in those terms (underlined) – is unattainable, of course.

[...] Dimly, in your terms, it can be traced by observing the animals that even now roam the earth, for each in its own degree — far less than yours — shows that reflection. [...]

[...] Their earthly reality occurs simultaneously with their inception, but in the world of time, lapses between appear to occur. [...]

[...] It flickers off and on—but because of the intervals of your attention, each “on” period seems to last for millions of years, of course, while at other levels the earth is like a firefly, flickering off and on.

[...] She recalled that back in her 20s—some 15 years before she initiated the Seth material—she’d written a series of poems about our species returning to the earth from space. [...]

[...] The young man (see the 816th session proper) was really comparing his life and the earth unfavorably with an idealized imagined world, to which he could never return. [...]

[...] You wonder where it will lead you, but the earth as you know it is spontaneous and you can trust it, and therefore you can also trust the spontaneity of your own nature. [...]
