My personal take on self discovery and inner strength
At its core, Seth’s message advocates for a transformative shift in mindset, guiding individuals towards a more profound understanding of their own capabilities. The emphasis on daily self-discovery challenges the conventional notion that personal growth is an occasional pursuit. Instead, it underscores the idea that introspection should be a consistent, daily practice – a deliberate exploration of one’s thoughts, fears, and aspirations.
The rejection of external crutches speaks to the empowerment that comes from facing challenges independently. It’s a call to dismantle dependency on external validation or support, encouraging individuals to trust their inner strength. This isn’t about isolation but about recognizing that, ultimately, the wellspring of resilience lies within, ready to be tapped into when confronted with life’s complexities.
In terms of personal responsibility, Seth’s words carry a profound weight. By urging individuals to demand more of themselves, he advocates for an active participation in one’s own life journey. It’s a departure from a passive existence, suggesting that true fulfillment arises when individuals take ownership of their choices, actions, and personal development. This shift implies a conscious effort to break free from self-imposed limitations, acknowledging the untapped reservoir of potential within.
Moreover, the text’s reference to fear as a self-created obstacle sheds light on the psychological barriers that often hinder personal growth. Seth’s perspective challenges individuals to confront these fears head-on, emphasizing that they are not insurmountable, but rather constructs of the mind. This approach encourages a fearless exploration of one’s identity and purpose, fostering resilience in the face of adversity.
In conclusion, Seth’s perspective, as expressed in the text, serves as a comprehensive guide for those seeking a more fulfilling and authentic existence. It’s a call to embrace a daily commitment to self-discovery, trust in inner strength, and actively participate in the ongoing process of personal growth. The rejection of external crutches and the emphasis on personal responsibility provide a roadmap for individuals to navigate their journey towards a more empowered and meaningful life.
It does you no good for me to come here and give you a symbolic pat on the back, and say, “My chickadees, fly away – you are doing well!” – not when you are not doing well!
To rely upon others will only encourage weakness.
Therefore, I will not allow you, you see, to use me as a crutch.
I will throw your crutches away and give you a good hard push and make you stand up and face your problems alone. And, that is the only way I can help you. And, that is the only way you can ever be helped.
Demand more of yourself- not less.
Self discovery and inner strength, a Seth session

Seth: “You, also, have the responsibility to discover who and what you are. The answers to your problems lie within yourself. And, you can discover them. And, in discovering them, you use your strength. To rely upon others will only encourage weakness. Therefore, I will not allow you, you see, to use me as a crutch. I will throw your crutches away and give you a good hard push and make you stand up and face your problems alone. And, that is the only way I can help you. And, that is the only way you can ever be helped. And, you know it. And, you know it well. And, I mean it kindly.
Now you are all getting it this evening, but it is long due – and it is for this reason that our friend Ruburt did not welcome me with open arms at your last class, for he knew what I was up to. It does you no good for me to come here and give you a symbolic pat on the back, and say, “My chickadees, fly away – you are doing well!” – not when you are not doing well. You are not fulfilling your I responsibilities to yourselves simply by coming here once a week. You are fulfilling your responsibilities when you go within yourselves every day. Is the journey, after all, that frightening? The fear is only what you have created yourself. You have made it and placed it before the door.
Now, you [Florence] have given your son a car – and why? Is it a vehicle that will carry him back to your heart – ask yourself such a question honestly and look for your answers. You can use your love of your son as a vehicle – and as a vehicle that will help you find yourself.
Now, if I did not know your potentials, then I would not bother you. If all of you did not have abilities that you were not using, I would leave you alone. For to needle you would be cruel and I am not cruel. But, I needle you in a righteous cause, and each of you knows it well. The search upon which you have all embarked can only be begun from the center of your own reality. This is what you have to work with. And, you have more to work with than you realize. Demand more of yourself- not less.”
