Introduction: The meaning of being alive, joy, vulnerability and Divine connection
Seth’s teachings invite us to explore the deepest connection between joy, vulnerability, and the divine essence within each of us. In these words, Seth challenges us to embrace vulnerability not as a weakness but as a pathway to experiencing true joy and the boundless flow of life. This perspective reframes vulnerability as the foundation of our vitality, an essential element of our existence that even the gods themselves embrace.
The citation emphasizes that blessings and peace are not external gifts to be bestowed by others but emerge from within. Seth reminds us of our inherent unity with “All That Is”—the divine, infinite source of life and love—and encourages us to recognize that the capacity for joy and blessing lies within our own being. By opening ourselves fully, as open as air, we align with the universal flow of love and creativity, allowing joy to move through us and into the world.
In this framework, the need for repentance dissolves, for joy and self-acceptance replace guilt and regret. Seth’s vision calls us to cultivate a life of blessing rather than one weighed down by judgment or repentance. To live in alignment with the divine is to know joy, to recognize our sacred connection to all of existence, and to express it through love and song. In this way, Seth offers not only an invitation to live authentically but also a profound reminder of the beauty and power that lies in embracing our shared humanity and divinity.

Seth on being alive, joy, vulnerability and divine connection
“You must look into the face of vulnerability to find joy. You cannot find joy unless you accept vulnerability. Even the gods know vulnerability – and that is why they live. And because I have known vulnerability, I am still alive. I give you then all the peace and joy that you can hold. But you cannot hold peace and joy like a stone in your hand. For it goes through you and out into others…
I bless you, but the blessings must come from yourselves. The real blessings must come from yourselves. You must realize that you are one with All That Is, and within you is the only one who can give blessings, and you must be willing to accept the blessing that only you can give, and the joy that only you can give to yourselves and to one another.
There should never be a word in any language that means repentance. There should only be a word that means, ‘I bless,’ for when you bless you do not need to repent. And when you accept a blessing, you do not need to repent. Love of All That Is requires simply that you become open as air, for when you are open as air then the joy of All That Is flows through you indiscriminately, and there is nothing to repent. You only need repentance when you do not know joy. For within joy and within All That Is there is only glory that is only consciousness and song. There is only blessedness.”
