~ the concept of evil‏

"There is only one way to avoid the problem of rigid concepts of right and wrong and that is true compassion and love, which would lead to an understanding of the nature of good; only these qualities will serve to annihilate the erroneous and distortive concepts of evil. The simple fact is, that as long as you believe in the concept of evil, it's a reality in your system and you will always find it manifested." ~ Seth, from Seth Speaks

~ You expect your motives...‏

"You expect your motives to be selfish because you have been told that they are, and so when you catch yourselves with unkind motives you are almost comforted, because you think that at least you are behaving normally."

~ when people are convinced...‏

"When people are convinced that the self is untrustworthy, for whatever reasons, or that the universe is not safe, then instead of luxuriating in the use of their abilities, exploring the physical and mental environments, they begin to pull in their realities to contract their abilities, to overcontrol their environments. They become frightened people and frightened people do not want freedom, mental or physical. They want shelter, a definite set of rules. They want to be told what is good and bad. They lean toward compulsive behavior patterns. They seek out leaders - political, scientific or religious - who will order their lives for them."

~ you can indeed start over‏

"I want to assure you that regardless of your circumstances, age, or sex, you can indeed start over, re-arousing from within yourself those earlier, more innocent expectations, feelings and beliefs. It is much better if you can imagine this endeavor more in the light of children’s play, in fact, rather than think of it as a deadly serious adult pursuit."

~ the more fully you learn to live...‏

"The more fully you learn to live, the more the seemingly hidden ‘mysteries of the universe’ begin to appear. They do not necessarily make themselves known with great clamor or fanfare, but suddenly the most innocuous, innocent bird song or the sight of a leaf might reveal knowledge of the profoundest nature. It is ironic, then, that many people who seek to discover the ‘hidden’ mysteries of nature ignore nature itself, or consider the physical body as gross or somehow composed of lesser vibrations."

~ desiring to receive it‏

"In normal living and in day-by-day experience, all the knowledge you need is available. You must, however, believe that it is, put yourself in a position to receive it by looking inward and remaining open to your intuitions, and most important, by desiring to receive it."

Seth Speaks

~ you think that vulnerability is wrong...‏

"You think of your bodies as you think of responsibilities! You think that vulnerability is wrong. Your freedom lies in your vulnerability to life, sensation, experience, song and being -- being is vulnerable. It reacts. It lives. It feels. You cannot deny feelings without denying portions of your soul. Your attitudes toward your bodies are like your attitudes toward responsibility! Think of the correlation!

"When responsibility means doing what you do not want to do because you think that you should do it, then responsibility is not fun. Neither is it true responsibility, because you are not responding as an alive individual being. You are, instead, blindly following. You are not giving when you think that you are giving because you must be responsible, when you do not want to be.

"You do not help anyone when you help them but do not want to, in your terms . . . When you say, 'I love you' because you think you have a responsibility to say, 'I love you', when you do not feel the emotion behind the words, then you are a liar, and the other person knows it."

~ suicide‏

"Some people might say, I have a right to die, when they are arguing the case for suicide. And while this is true, it is also true that the people on your planet need every bit of help and encouragement they can get from each person alive. In a certain sense, the energy of each individual does keep the world going, and to commit suicide is to refuse a basic, cooperative venture."
