“As long as any woman teaches her sons to go to war because of love of peace there will be war.
“You make your world. When you populate your world with ideas of peace, then peace will grow. When you think thoughts of aggression, you attract aggression, and you draw it out from others in daily contact and on the part of nations.
“When you do not understand yourselves, you project what you do not understand upon others — upon your friends and associates — and then you become afraid of what you do not understand, not understanding that it is your own fear. And you do the same thing as a nation with other nations. There is no way to ensure peace but for every man, every man, to lay down his arms.
[Seth, referring to class student:] “To do what he did (Jeff) does indeed appear crazy; idiot behavior in the world that you know! But it is very sane behavior.”
[Note: Jeff avoided the draft by going to the draft board and literally acting like a mentally disturbed and deficient person who could not speak or comprehend anything.]
“Supposing our fine American boys decide not to fight. But supposing our fine Russian or Chinese do not come to the same decision. So you are leaving yourselves open, and so you must meet any threat or be weak. So I understand your position.
[Class Member: “You read my mind, Seth. I was just thinking, I hope Seth tells the enemy to put down their arms, too.”]
“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 the arms.
“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. You dream of wars that your arms must fight, and it is done, first of all, in your mind.
“And no drop of blood flows, as in Ruburt’s (Seth’s name for Jane) poem, that does not first flow in your mind and in all your minds!
“And there is no other way to have peace but to believe in peace. As I speak here, others (advanced souls or “Speakers” as Seth calls them) also speak in other countries, as they have in other times. And you have not listened! And in not listening, you continue to create the reality that you have. And in creating that reality in the world that you know and in time as you understand it, you return again and again. Sons who have been slain on the battleground are born as women who then bring up their fine sons to repeat once again the old history.”
