The Human Race and Planetary Cycles of Existence

Seth Early Sessions, Vol 9, Session 452

The Human Race

Children build houses of cards and knock them down.  You do not worry about the child’s development, for you realize that he will learn better.

You may even smile at the child’s utter sense of desolation until he finally connects the motion of his own hand with the destruction of the paper, cardboard house that is now gone, and in his eyes gone beyond repair.

Now, mankind builds civilizations.  He has gone beyond the child’s game.  The toys are real, and yet basically the analogy holds.  I am not condoning those violences that occur.  The fact is that they can never be condoned, and yet they must be understood for what they are: man learning through his own errors.  He also learns by his successes, and there are times when he holds his hand, moments of deliberation, periods of creativity.  Identities take many roles in many lives.

There are periods, cycles if you prefer, through which such identities live and learn within your system.  To some extent they are taught by others, practice teachers if you prefer.

(Today the newspaper carried the story of the violence attending the Democratic presidential convention in Chicago in August, 1968, telling of the many clashes between police and various groups of demonstrators; and a guilty verdict re police behavior was rendered by an investigative commission.  Jane and I had discussed the report at the supper table.)

The race of man is far more than the physical race however.  You see him in but one stage of development.  When an individual leaves your system it is for other systems.  He has learned the A B C’s, but that is all.  There are some exceptions – identities that choose, then, to return and teach.  They are not in the same league, so to speak, as those whose reincarnational cycles are not complete.

They may return, even enduring violence, as a man might set up a school amid a jungle of savages.  And yet even with this there are advances made within the system itself.  A nuclear weapon in the hands of the inhabitants of middle-age Europe would have been used almost immediately, and with nary a qualm, to wipe out all but Christendom.

Christendom may well have perished along with the rest of the world, but this possibility would not have been considered, so narrow and evilly self-righteous were the governing powers at the time.

In those days neither did a sane, righteous man give thought to sharing his wealth, or even considering the plight of the poorer classes.  Not only was charity not given, its practical nature was not considered.  The archaic concept of God nicely covered such matters.

The poor were obviously sinful.  Poverty was their penance, and it was considered a sacrilege to try to help those whom God had so cursed.  Animals were tortured in sport.  Compassion for living things in males was regarded as a weakness to be plucked out, to a degree that you can barely realize now.

Women were scarcely thought of as human creatures, but in very select circles.  The progression through the centuries would be far more noticeable if you knew all the facts.  There is one aspect here that I have not previously mentioned.  Man was not allowed to play with the more dangerous toys until certain evidence was given that he had gained some control.

This does not mean that he could not destroy the world that he knew.  It simply meant that such destruction was not inevitable.  You do not give a child a loaded gun if your certain he is going to shoot himself or his neighbor.

Now the weapons and the destruction are the obvious things that you see.  The counterparts are not so evident, and yet it is the counterparts that are important.  The self-discipline learned, the control, the compassion that finally is aroused, and the final and last lesson learned, the positive desire for creativity and love over destruction and hatred.  When this is learned the reincarnational cycle is finished.

Now there is a reason why these lessons must be learned in just this way.  Elementally there is only creativity.  Destruction is merely the changing of form.  A cloudburst or a tornado knows nothing of destruction.  This same energy encased within a human form is something else.  There are different kinds of creativity, then, to learn, and a specialization in energy is focus and feelings that emerge; elemental energy becoming conscious of itself, and aware of issues that did not exist for it earlier; millions of molecules momentarily united with the living consciousness, filled with primal energy, now learning love, and forming highly sensitive psychic patterns, electrical charges that now form emotions instead of clouds; the innocent chaos of undifferentiated personality that exists behind the highly specified and truly sophisticated mechanism of one thought.  And all of this before an individual is born within your system.  In terms of time this is behind us all.

Little wonder that psychic battles wage, and yet beyond your system there are refinements impossible to describe, and further developments more miraculous than those that have gone before.  And through all of this, the entity formed from that massive chaos retains its identity and the knowledge of its pasts, and continues to grow in creativity.

This is some of the most important material that I have given you, for you have wondered about the purpose, and have been able often to see but one small speck of time and space.

The violence that you were both speaking of this evening opened up a chasm within each participator’s soul, through which he glimpsed the dizzying origins that were behind his identity.  There was the fear, then, and afterward, of falling back into that mindless chasm.

Now a storm at times will fascinate many, and so will such violence, but a highly destructive storm will find few going abroad in it.  Each participator sensed the chaos to which he had direct access.  He feared it then and afterward, even in his fascination, because he was bound to recognize that it would sweep he and his enemy into insanity or death (… him and …?)

Many of the participators have never known that they had access to such energy, therefore the notion that such energy could be used creatively never entered their heads.  Many of them felt tiny, alone and powerless.  Now the energy alone was exhilarating.  For the first time many of the participators realized intuitively that such energy was also the source of creativity.

Many will try various methods of re-experiencing the energy, in order to release creative feelings they did not know they possessed.  Their energy of course was neutral.  It was their use of it at the time that caused the destructive elements.

The energy that was liberated has already changed your national scene, and will continue to do so.  Such massive liberations of energy will be used, but not in your lifetime, to begin to unify the whole planet, in peace.  This will not happen before disasters also occur, but when it does happen it will represent the first such time within the planet’s history where there was peace with equality for all.

Cycles Of Planetary Existence

There have been various periods that were peaceful, but there was no equality.  There have been countless other civilizations that have destroyed themselves in the planet’s past, and before this when another planet was approximately in earth’s position.  There were however civilizations that endured, that outlasted their planet, and went elsewhere.

There were 9 planets, once, grouped like jewels around the sun.  They were evenly spaced one from the other, and they were evenly distributed outward from the sun.  And this was the first system that knew the race of man.  These were in your corner of the universe, but in your terms they would have seemed to have drifted off so far that none of your instruments could ever find them.

They exploded, and were recreated many times, disappeared and returned.  They would seem to pulsate.  To you they would seem to disappear for eons.  To them their existence was continuous.  As atoms and molecules give your chairs a reality within your system even though the atoms and molecules come and go, so this planetary system still retains its reality.

Your astronomers may receive a ghost image of it at the edges of your universe, but only a reflection from a reality that you cannot perceive.

Now.  Existence uses form.  When a planetary system is disrupted, in some cases entities who are attracted to it or consider it their home, simply change their form, regroup their forces, and if they consider it worthwhile, put the house back in order.

They enter then such forms as are available, or make such forms as could survive.  This has been done within your own system on several occasions.  It is not done often in such a way, since with the materials at hand often a complicated-enough structure cannot be formed in which consciousness can full-enough express itself.

There can be in your terms some loss of memory, complications that confuse the knowledge of origin.  When the situation does occur, there is always a division of forces, some entities returning to form, and others not entering the process.  These watch, keeping their memories and knowledge intact, and acting as directors, against whose memories the new models are formed.

Again, this happened within your own system.  Many entities have no need for form, in your terms, at all, but we will not be concerned with them this evening.  This original system of which I have spoken will at least be theorized shortly, but the idea will not be taken seriously enough to cause any deep controversy.

The energy of this system was enormous, far greater than any you know, and the debris thrown off constantly from its pulsations gave birth to other systems.

We are struggling with Ruburt’s vocabulary.  The speed of its motion was also far greater than any you know, though it speeded up and slowed down in a cyclic manner.

It possessed creatures of consciousness, but not as you know creatures.  Energy, entities …, continually transforming massive roytans (roetans?) .. We are working with Ruburt’s vocabulary …

They originated from themselves, massive units of energy, that reacted automatically, and in an explosive manner upon the form of the system.  Their energy caused the behavior of the system.

There was a direct and instantaneous reaction between consciousness and matter.  An outburst of electromagnetic power, strong enough to seed a universe.  Your universe is but one of many, and you perceive but a small portion of the universe in which you do exist, for there are dimensions within it that you do not perceive.

The evening’s material has come to a natural breaking-off point, but we have also reached some subjects that we have not discussed in sessions earlier, and this can serve as a preparation.
