“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There are certain elements within the human personality that exist apart from any such terms. [...]

[...] I bear no human rancor, you see (with a smile), as Ruburt to some extent must.

[...] If, for example, one adult human being were perceived by an alien from another world, certain facts would be apparent. [...]

[...] All of this could be perceived by our hypothetical alien from one lone human individual; and we will return to our alien later on.

[...] Your love for humanity holds. [...]

[...] For in your aloneness, and in your togetherness, and between the two there is the meaning of your humanity. [...]

[...] I could indeed go on, myself, like this for hours but I shall take into consideration your human failings and I know you need such things as sleep. [...]

[...] The inner reincarnational structure of the human psyche is very important in man’s physical survival. [...]

(10:06.) These units of consciousness do not have human characteristics, of course. [...]

[...] It’s certainly enlarged my own ideas of what human beings are all about, for instance — their motivations, their behavior — ”

[...] A man, literally of flesh and blood, must then prove beyond all doubt that each and every other [human being] survives death — by dying, of course, and then by rising, physically-perceived, into heaven. [...]

Christ saw that in each person divinity and humanity met — and that man survived death by virtue of his existence within the divine. [...]

([Joel:] “Who killed the first human being?”

Dictation: Luckily the human mind and body are far more flexible, durable and creative than ever given credit for. [...]

While inhabited by the usual human consciousness, the living body operates as an intense focus point. [...]

(“Seth, why do human beings eat animals?”)

(Very intently all through here:) Women delivering children are placed in the same environment. This may seem very humane to you, and yet the entire system is structured so that childbirth does not seem to be the result of health but of illness.

[...] All of this applies quite apart from any other dehumanizing effects, such as overcrowded conditions, the denial of human privacy, and often the negation of dignity.

[...] They formed themselves at Mark’s instigation into a gestalt of physical construction; but the gestalt could not operate consistently or endure for any amount of physical time, in your field, because of the absence here of the greater data which is the property of the whole self, in its construction of a completed human form.

[...] Nevertheless, one of the basic keys to his character is the overwhelming need to be liked as a human being.

[...] We’re told again and again that technically we’re on the verge of producing artificial versions of many bodily parts, as well as microcomputers that will be implanted within the body to regulate its performance; these advances, plus our “conquering” of disease, pain, and suffering, plus genetic engineering, will soon make it possible for human beings to live indefinitely. [...]

[...] The final irony of all may develop, however: Jane added that the suicide rate would rise considerably after the many implications associated with extended lifetimes began to penetrate human consciousness. [...]

In other words, these concepts, so natural to all of creation, have not been practiced by humanity in anything like their pure form. [...]

Now, let you all for a moment remain quiet as I divest myself of those characteristics that you find so human and understanding, and remember that inner portions of yourselves also have existences that are as strange. [...]
