Seth (ESP Class, 1-22-74): " God must love individuals since he made

so many of them! "

Class Member Asked: " Where did that quote come from? "

Seth Responded: " That is a bastard quote! It is part from me and

part from someone else! But in the glorification and realization of

your own individuality, do you therefore know what God is. For God

manifests himself through what you are. And if he wanted always to

be one, and not individualistic, then he would have remained latent

and never materialized in individual form.

" In certain terms, these glasses are a manifestation of what God

is, as you are a manifestation of what God is. And through

understanding the infinite validity of your own individuality, do you

therefore glorify All That Is, and to the extent that you deny your

individuality, do you deny what God is. If God wanted to be a

nebulous, psychological cloud of non-being, so would he be. You

cannot find God by denying the vitality of your being. You cannot

find Him by trying to hide in a Nirvana, by trying to bury your

individuality in a non-being. "

Class Member: " What do you call a 'non-being'? "

Seth Responded: " When you try to hide your individuality, you are

trying not to be. I did not call God a 'not-being'. "

Class Member: " On that concept that is. "

Seth: " Indeed. Your eyes and your eyelashes, being individual,

express the individuality of All That Is. No snowflake is alike. No

person is alike. Through the manifestation of individuality does

All That Is express its being. To be yourself you are, in your terms,

what God is. And in your way, you become a conscious co-creator.

You are co-creators whether you know it or not. You are creators

whether you know it or not. You are created and you create whether you

know it or not. You can learn to be conscious co-creators. You form

your reality. You can do this consciously. Even when you choose to

think in terms of a nebulous, beneficial, divine oneness in which you

hope to hide your being, and lose it...

" But do not put your ideas of God, even though those ideas may now

be fashionable, or liberal, in a package that is made half of Oriental

philosophy and half of old Christian concepts that all result in

the idea that you must lose your individuality in a Nirvana of spirit.

For you find All That Is through the understanding, the joy, the

compassion and the experience of your own individuality.

" You are a portion of what God is, and that God wants you to be

you.

So why, therefore, try to deny your you-ness and escape it? It can

be-it can be--and I am not saying it is, but it can be a fashionable,

spiritual cop-out that prevents you from denying certain portions

of reality and allows you the luxury of denying your individuality by

trying to find a 'one-ness' that would annihilate the sacredness

within you that is individual, and that is your contact with a God-

head. "
