Seth: There is only one reality and value fulfillment, which you may… equate with goodness.
Love is fulfilled or fulfilling value fulfillment.
Love is action that knows itself and that glorifies in its parts, that is separated to know itself and in knowing itself is no longer separated.
We all have our roles.
That part of us as you know which deals with these roles is the ego, which lives intimately the role which was assigned to it by the whole self, of which it is a part.
When it looks about with the best of intentions and sees disasters and terrors,
it does not know that these others also play their roles. And, that the roles are temporary.
It becomes bitter and mortally frightened, with no place to turn.
The inner self, feeling itself part of action, is aware of facets of reality of which the ego is ignorant. It knows that roles can be reversed.
There is no such thing as evil, except for the phantoms which man has made.
Hate is unreasoning fear. Fear is caused by lack of understanding, by a lack of value fulfillment.
Hate is that which is not love.
Seth Session
Seth: “We all have our roles. As we exist within various fields we focus upon these roles to the exclusion of much else.
That part of us as you know which deals with these roles is the ego, which lives intimately the role which was assigned to it by the whole self, of which it is a part.
The health and psychic condition of an individual is not primarily determined by the ego, however. It is only when the ego is allowed too much power that the individual is deprived of much of the inner vitality of the whole self. For the ego is acquainted with only its role. It can find refreshment only within the limitations of the reality which it was formed to meet. And, when it looks about with the best of intentions and sees disasters and terrors, it does not know that these others also play their roles. And, that the roles are temporary.
It becomes bitter and mortally frightened, with no place to turn. And, it sickens the body and shrivels and concentrates more and more upon the morbid aspects of its environment, until it can not even appreciate the splendid accomplishment of itself and the joys that are peculiarly part of the ego.
The inner self is aware of other realities. It is aware of the ego. Remember here the difference between consciousness of self and the ego, for the difference is important. The ego is but part of the self, part of the conscious self, but focused in one direction.
The inner self, feeling itself part of action, is aware of facets of reality of which the ego is ignorant. It knows that roles can be reversed. There is so much here to be explained and so many questions that must be answered. For I tell you, at the risk of being misunderstood grossly, that there is only one reality and value fulfillment, which you may (if you like) equate with goodness.
There is no such thing as evil, except for the phantoms which man has made. He sees hate in his own heart, what he calls hate, which is but fear. So, he projects it into another man’s face and says the man hates him. And, he may slay the man. But, the hate never existed. That is, what mankind thinks of as hate never existed.
Hate is unreasoning fear. Fear is caused by lack of understanding, by a lack of value fulfillment. Hate is that which is not love. Love is fulfilled or fulfilling value fulfillment. It is action that knows itself and that glorifies in its parts, that is separated to know itself and in knowing itself is no longer separated.
Hate is that which fears to join and, hence, is separate. And, that is all.
If all men could learn to love, in terms of which I have spoken, then there would be no need for any kind of punishment within your field. And, the word would vanish from your vocabulary. The subconscious is not the cause or the carrier of hatreds.
The difficulty here is of an ego’s refusal to assimilate subconscious experience.”
