Seth Quotes

"All personalities are not the same level of development. There are therefore advanced teachers and teachers at 'lower' levels."

"And remember also here that you live from the inside out."

"The teachers, for example, are themselves within a cycle. The more advanced ones have already encountered the systems of reincarnation and probabilities, and are themselves deciding upon the 'future' nature of their own experience. Their choices, however, are not your choices."

"Some take longer than others to understand the true situation. Others must be divested of many impeding ideas and symbols..."

"A belief in heaven or hell, under certain conditions, can be equally disadvantageous. Some will refuse to accept the idea of further work, development, and challenge, believing instead that conventional heaven situations are the only possibility. For some time they may indeed inhabit such an environment, until they learn through their own experience that existence demands development, and that such a heaven would be sterile, boring, and indeed 'deadly.'"

"There are always teachers available. They try to get through these false beliefs."

"There are no special 'places' or situations or conditions set apart after physical death in which any given personality must have experience."

"The conditions connected with an act of suicide are also important, and the inner reality and realization of the individual."

"If a person kills himself, believing that the act will annihilate his consciousness forever, then this false idea may severely impede his progress, for it will be further intensified by guilt."

"These conditions are also impediments to the time of choosing."

"It is not a matter of refusing to accept it, but a lack of perception."

"If an individual considers identity strongly in terms of male and female identity, then such a person may refuse to accept the fact of the sexual changes that occur in reincarnational existences. This kind of sexual identification, however, also impedes personality development during physical life."

"A belief in heaven that is not an obsessional belief can be used as a useful framework, as a basis of operation in which an individual will often accept easily then, the new explanations that will be offered."

"Even a belief in a time of judgment is a useful framework in many instances, for while there is no punishment meted out in your terms, the individual is then prepared for some kind of spiritual examination and evaluation."

"Those who understand thoroughly that reality is self-created will have least difficulty."

"Those who have learned to understand and operate in the mechanics of the dream state will have great advantages."

"A belief in demons is highly disadvantageous after death, as it is during physical existence."

"All of these distortions are impediments."

"The intellect alone cannot understand what the intuitions most certainly know."

"The inner self, however, realizes that in much larger terms, evil is simply ignorance, that 'up' and 'down' are neat terms applied to space which knows no such directions."

"A strong belief in such opposing forces is highly detrimental, however, for it prevents an understanding of the facts—the facts of inner unity and of oneness, of interconnections and of cooperation. A belief, therefore, an obsessional belief in such opposing factors, is perhaps the most detrimental element, not only after death but during existence."

"It may outrage your intellect, and the evidence of your physical senses may shout that it is untrue, yet a belief in good without a belief in evil is actually highly realistic, since in physical life it will keep your body healthier, keep you psychologically free of many fears and mental difficulties, and bring you a feeling of ease and spontaneity in which the development of your abilities can be better fulfilled. After death it will release you from the belief in demons and hell, and enforced punishment. You will be better prepared to understand the nature of reality as it is. I understand that the concept does indeed offend your intellect, and that your senses seem to deny it. Yet you should already realize that your senses tell you many things, which are not true; and I tell you that your physical senses perceive a reality that is a result of your beliefs."

"Your world has not tried the experiment as yet which would release you."

"This is the experiment that has not been tried, and these are the truths that you must learn after physical death."

"Instead of countries or physical divisions, you have psychological states. To an individual in one, another might seem quite foreign. In many communications with those in these transitional states, messages through mediums can appear as highly contradictory. The experience of the 'dead' is not the same. The conditions and situations vary. An individual explaining his reality can only explain what he knows. Again, such material often offends the intellect that demands simple, neat answers and descriptions that tally."

"The communicators can inform living relatives that existence continues and they can do it in terms that the living can understand."

"Inspiration in your system is often the work of such creators [entities who have finished with reincarnations who are of a different overall nature, who are beginning the long journey leading toward the vocation of a creator]."

"They [the 'art forms' of the creators] will always be psychic structures, however, existing apart from any given system of reality, but at least partially perceived by many. Some exist in what you might term the astral plane, and you perceive them in visits during the sleep state."

"The whole Christ story was such a creation."

"There are also those who choose to be healers, and of course this involves far more than healing as you are familiar with it. These healers must be able to work with all levels of the entity's experience, directly helping those personalities that are a part of it. Again, this involves a manipulation through reincarnational patterns, and here again, great diversification. A healer begins with reincarnational selves with various difficulties?"

"Each personality has full freedom."

"You have within yourself the ability to release your intuitions and to receive inner knowledge."
