“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(While eating supper this evening Jane and I watched the television reports on the series of devastating tornadoes that had struck northern Texas and southern Oklahoma — an area known as “Tornado Alley” — late yesterday afternoon. Over 50 people have been counted dead so far, with hundreds injured and many thousands left homeless. We’ve driven through some of the communities that were damaged. We talked about why people would choose to live in a region where it’s practically certain that such storms will materialize every year. Our questions would also apply to living in any dangerous environment on the planet, of course.

Now: People who live in tornado country carry the reality of a tornado in their minds and hearts as a psychological background.

(10:42 P.M. Jane remembered that Seth had mentioned tornadoes, which we hadn’t expected him to do. Her delivery in trance has been steady and often quite forceful.

[...] For instance, your sophisticated techniques allow you to say that conditions are right for a tornado, and you will have a tornado watch (as we had in our Elmira area not long ago), or your instruments will pick up faint earthquake tremors, and following fault lines you will then “predict” that an earthquake will appear in another area. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The more “civilized” man becomes, the more his social structures and practices separate him from intimate relationship with nature — and the more natural catastrophes there will be, because underneath he senses his great need for identification with nature; he will himself conjure it into earthquakes, tornadoes, and floods, so that he can once again feel not only their energy but his own.

[...] Sudden tornadoes or earthquakes are seen in the same light, as the result of air currents and temperature, or fault lines instead of viruses. [...]

[...] When you attempt to hold them back, you build them up like mountains—and you form tornadoes within yourselves. [...]

Now: On other than conscious levels, simply as creatures, you are well aware of impending storms, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, and so forth.

[...] A cloudburst or a tornado knows nothing of destruction. [...]

[...] Storms, say, or tornadoes, are brought about by angry men precisely as wars are. [...]

[...] A cloudburst or a tornado knows nothing of destruction. [...]

[...] It turned extremely windy tonight — so much so that I thought about tornadoes, although we’d heard no radio warnings about them. [...]

[...] In many cases you have been saved from wars by such things as earthquakes, tornadoes of a vast nature, and other physical catastrophes. [...]
