“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Your religious leaders have freedom to say what they want to, and they have all of technology’s advances in communications at their service. [...]

[...] This involves your own intellectual technology, which will be quite able to maintain its population with synthetic proteins. However this technological development will come first; unfortunately the corresponding ethical evolution will follow after.

[...] All of your creative impulses arise from that hidden dimension — the very impulses that formed your greatest cities, your technology, and the physical cement that binds your culturally organized world.

[...] For that matter, their natural television operated better in some ways than your technological version, for their mental images allowed them to perceive events in neighboring areas or in other portions of the world. [...]

[...] For the first time the modern world realized its vulnerability to political events, and technology and communication accelerated all of war’s dangers. [...]

[...] They exist apart from the physical world and in an inner one, and from this you draw those theories, ideas, civilizations, and technologies which you then physically translate.

[...] Obviously, then, a mass physical event implies an inner system of communications of proportions that would put your technological communications to shame.

[...] … The flying saucer appearances come from a system much more advanced in technological sciences than yours. [...]

[...] Had the human race gone into certain mental disciplines as thoroughly as it has explored technology, then its practical transportation system would be vastly different and far more efficient.

[...] In this one respect your technology has let you down, but the electrical manifestations of which I speak could not even be searched for, or anticipated within your physical field, until the reality of man’s psychic nature began to make itself known. [...]

Civilizations do not rise and fall because of weapons, or economics, or technologies. [...]

Even though those village people lived in your era, however, they were largely untouched by modern technology, and so kept to their own ways. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Your present technological advances can almost be dated from the [invention of] the printing press, to Edison’s inventions, which were flashes of intuition, dream-inspired. [...]

[...] It is easy for you to think in terms of messages taking centuries to pass through space with your technology. [...]

[...] Despite the perhaps deplorable conditions being televised—whether of wars, massacres, graft, or whatever—the great inventiveness of man’s mind is responsible for that technological achievement. [...]

[...] You will most probably work out a physical, technological way of making this possible, before you realize that you could have done it all along.

—even when your own technological advancements prove beyond doubt that in many cases the evidence of your own outer senses is wrong, and does not represent reality, but represents an arbitrary pattern forced upon reality. [...]

[...] What you learn in your present about industry — “progress” — and the equitable sharing of the earth’s products, could only be learned in a context in which industrialism was experienced as going too far, where technology was seen and known as a growing jeopardy.

(Again forcefully:) In terms that I admit are difficult to describe, the creative solutions will change the course of history in the past, so that variations are taken, and technology does not progress in the same way that it “has” in your experience.

[...] They do not require all of the effort and psychological technology of a nuclear war (with humor). [...]

[...] It has taken you centuries to reach your point of technological achievement. [...]

(A minute later:) In the psychic areas, all patterns for knowledge, cultures, civilizations, personal and mass accomplishments, sciences, religions, technologies and arts, exist in the same fashion.

[...] You look upon your cultural world with its art and manufacture, its cities, technology, and the cultivated use of the intellectual mind. [...]
