Anti-woman or anti-military or pro-peace? Seth on women in combat.

The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events, Session 854, p. 230

Seth: Women make a grave error, when they try to prove their "equality" with men, by showing that they can enter the armed forces or go into combat, as well as any man. War always makes you less as a species than you could be. Women have shown uncommon good sense in not going to war and uncommon bad sense, by sending their sons and lovers to war. To kill for the sake of peace, only makes you better killers and nothing will change that. I am quite aware that going to war seems to be your only practical course, because of the set of beliefs that are, relatively speaking, worldwide. Until you change those beliefs, war will seem to have some practical value....a value that is highly deceptive and quite false.

Seth: Negative focus robs you of energy you need to help

Seth, The Nature of the Psyche, Session 800

Seth: You form your own reality. That reality contributes to the experience of others, but each of you possesses a unique, original stance in space and time that is yours alone in quite practical terms, regardless of time's relative existence.

Only when you operate from your own stance can you help others to the best of your ability. To anticipate danger, or to imaginatively take on the troubles of others robs you of the very energy with which you could help them.

I am not saying, therefore, to turn your eyes from the unfortunate conditions of the world. Practical help is needed in all areas of the human life.

Yet it is far better, and more practical ultimately, to concentrate upon the beneficial elements of civilization-far better to organize your thoughts in areas of accomplishment than to make mental lists of mans deficiencies and lacks. Such a practice leads to feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, in which effective action seems impossible.

Life possesses an exuberance.

If this is cherished, nurtured, encouraged, then additional energy is generated that is not needed for the purposes of daily private life-a superabundance, that can be effectively directed in those areas of the world where help is most needed. The strength, vitality, and effectiveness of thought is seldom considered, Thought, you may say, will not stop a war-yet what do you think started such a war?

Throughout history the downtrodden have often risen into power, using force, rebelling against their oppressors; and yet, learning little from that experience, they turn and become the elite, the new power-holders. Their physical conditions may be completely changed. Now theirs, the offices of government, the wealth. Gone are the conditions that, it would seem, caused the uprising. Yet in retaliation they strike out, forming a new class of downtrodden who must in their turn rise and retaliate.

Despite all appearances, conditions of an exterior nature do not cause wars, or poverty, or disease, or any of the unfortunate circumstances apparent in the world. Your beliefs form your reality. Your thoughts generate practical experience. When these change, conditions will change.

To add your own energy, focus, and concentration to dire circumstances in other portions of the world does not help, but adds to, such situations.

Abraham on Jerry's Struggle with Taxes

Abraham - Tampa, FL 01-8-05

Abraham: Jerry struggled as you do, with the idea of paying a lot of taxes and the taxes being used for things he does not approve of... And then we said to him, "Mentally project your taxes towards those things that you appreciate." And then relative to the subject of your government...what you would do if you were in charge. We want to give you something here that will soothe you. And soothing you is what this is all about.

But we want you to understand that everything that is happening - is happening as a result of mass consciousness' participation in it, and your government who makes the decisions about waging the war or dropping the bombs, is a smaller part of the unfolding of the events than you think.

Because all of this has been projected into your future experience. What is happening in your experience today was set into motion by a long-time history of thoughts. So what we're really getting at here is that as an individual, certainly you want to play a responsible role in contributing to your mass consciousness, but we are really wanting you to understand, that you cannot as an individual, nor would you want to, put on your shoulders the responsibility of dictating the way these affairs should turn out because they are not as it appears the results of the decisions of one man, even one merry band of men who are sitting around deciding what they are doing. It's a BIGGER CURRENT than that.

Abraham: Resist Not Bullies

Abraham -Boise, ID 7/3/02

What you’re saying is, ‘when someone gathers forces, who seems to be a bully, and wants to push against another, shouldn’t someone rise up big enough to push back?’ And we say, all you end up with is bigger and bigger pushing against, and more and more using each other as your excuse not to allow your well being.

Guest: “So you would say that, like, America and Britain would’ve just become invisible to Hitler if they had assumed this philosophy?”

Abraham: “You would not provide the fodder to the fire that keeps him fueled. If there were no one pushing back at him, the majority of the energy that he had amassed would have been non-existent. If you weren’t pretty good at understanding well being, as [the bully’s] poking at you with a stick, you’re probably going to get provoked, which is exactly what he wants—so, as he provokes you, and you now turn your attention, now you’re engaged—which is what he had in mind the whole time.

Someone who wants power doesn’t want passivity, doesn’t want somebody not interested; They want somebody to push back against them! In other words, you can’t have a war unless there’s somebody that’s fighting against you, but it does not mean that you have to play the game.

So here you stand—and you say, ‘I’m going to choose what’s dominant in my vibration.’ So he pokes at you, and you notice that the world’s beautiful over there—and he pokes at you, and you notice that there’s well-being over there, and he pokes at you, and you notice that he’s a non-issue. You notice that your life goes pretty well except when you’re being poked a little; and less and less do you notice his poking, and more and more do you notice well-being, until you literally become so vibrationally different from him that the poking is no longer any fun for him—because you vibrated out of range, and others vibrated into range. His enemies bring themselves right to him.

What goes wrong with humans, is they say, ‘I want world peace’—and we say world peace is none of your business! Personal peace is. There is no possible way of getting everyone to agree.

So then you say, ‘Yes, but what if I ignore him and so I disengage him from my vibration. What about the others that he’s trampling? What about those that don’t know as much as I do?’, and we say now you’re back involved. In other words, you get to choose. So, finally, when you say, ‘I don’t have to figure it out for any of them, and I’m going to align with the energy of well-being’, and follow that path, then it’s easier for you to watch everyone else play out their game.

Seth: You Create Wars In Your Minds

Seth: Now, the enemy does not need a Seth any more than you do to tell them to lay down their arms. They need their own inner selves. And, if one side lays down its arms, the other side will realize there is no need for arms. 

Now you cannot understand this now, and yet I tell you that your own preoccupation with arms, as a country, is received by others, and your own thoughts are materialized and you create wars in your minds that then must be faced with your flesh and your blood. 

So it shall be done to you as you do. And, as you think, so is your world. The reality that you have is a replica of your thoughts. If you do not like the world, you must change your thoughts and no exterior manipulation will change the face of your experience one iota, if you do not change your dreams and your thoughts. 

It is your world. Then change it now."

Seth, ESP Class session, Nov. 1972
