Discussion of the Seth Material
Seth, huh?
According to you:
"I am not named as the 'source' of The Seth Material or The
Urantia Book,
but a close look will reveal my Light shining through thinly overlaid
personas.
These two works were channeled in relatively deep trance states."
"Yes, it is my Light.
And this is also true of many others,
a closer look at any of the prophets, artists
and writers
and other channelers of my Light will reveal the same.
I am the original source of all inspiration."
What exactly is a "thinly overlaid persona"?
Am I, too, only a thinly overlaid persona of some god?
Then who is the god of me?
"No matter how thick or thin your persona,
it is not 'you', but rather more like the clothes you wear -
or your 'mask', as in the original meaning of 'persona'.
And yes, you are much more than you've imagined yourself to be.
The Seth channeler wrote a book called The God of Jane
that shows how one person found her essential 'lower case god'
within.
And she was right that I cannot be found on the outside
as the old 'God concept' implies.
"Your
journey from the veneer of personality
to your true, essential identity
takes a different route than hers,
but no matter which
way you come,
your eventual destination
is to manifest who you truly are.
And that includes my Light,
the 'upper case' Spirit within you
and the Mother's Desire, the upper case
Will within.
"To know this for yourself,
you may wish to engage in some scientific inquiry.
If you try your hand at the exercises in the
channeling class,
you may find easy access
to another dimension of the reality you are creating.
Also in this way you may come to better understand
how it is that
you have been creating what
you perceive."
And by the way, Seth explicitly said
that he chose to speak while Jane was in a light trance,
not a deep one,
because the more information could be transmitted closer to conscious
awareness, the better.
"In the time since Jane Roberts channeled Seth
the idea of trance states has come into more common acceptance,
and 'relatively deep' as used here means
that her personality was not fully present during channeling sessions.
The other channeled works mentioned
as being done in relatively 'lighter' states
include much more of the channelers' conscious participation.
Seth and Jane worked toward this,
however the channeler's experience and beliefs told her
that keeping a firm distinction between herself and her source
was important,
and to her this meant
she needed a deeper trance state
than some of the more recent channelers use.
"Two reasons
to emphasize the value of fully conscious participation in channeling
is
to make it clear that this ability is open to everyone,
and you don't have to lose yourself in the process.
Doing the channeling class exercises
and reading the discussion will
help make this clear.
It is as if you are transcribing something that is being dictated.
You are speaking or writing for another, but not becoming the
other.
"At least not yet.
As I have said,
the reason I wish to communicate directly with you
is that I am waking up inside of you,
and the completion of this process will require a collaborative
effort.
The healing class has some good pointers
about what you may do
to move quickly and surely into wholeness
as you more fully embody the Mother and me in Heart.
