THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE NATURE OF MASS EVENTS
Jane Roberts

"Myth is not a distortion of fact, but the womb through which fact must come. Myth involves an intrinsic understanding of the nature of reality, couched in imaginative terms, carrying a power as strong as nature itself. Myth-making is a natural psychic characteristic."

"In each person the imaginative world, its force and power, merges into historical reality. In each person, the ultimate and unassailable and unquenchable power of All That Is is individualized and dwells in time."
|
|

"Christ saw that in each person divinity and humanity met – and that man survived death by virtue of his existence within the divine."
|
|
| 4 |
"Death is not an end, but a transformation of consciousness. Nature, with its changing seasons, constantly brings you that message. In that light, and with that understanding, nature's disasters do not claim victims: Nature and man together act out their necessary parts in the larger framework of reality."

"When you fulfill your own abilities, when you express your personal idealism through acting it out to the best of your ability in your daily life, then you ARE changing the world for the better."
|
|
| 6 |
"Each individual is innately aware that help is available in every situation, and that information does not need to come through the physical senses alone."
|
|
| 7 |
"Information concerning the entire universe is always latent within each and any part of it."
|
|
| 8 |
"You instantly color physical experience and nature itself with the tints of your unique imaginative processes."
|
|
| 9 |
"There is an inner environment that connects all consciousnesses that dwell upon the planet, in whatever form."
|
|
| 10 |
"All That Is is within you, God is within creation, within physical matter."
|
|
| 11 |
"Each person contains an element of greatness, and more, a desire to fulfill those inner abilities."
|
|
| 12 |
"Myths are natural phenomena, rising from the psyche as surely as giant mountain ranges emerge from the physical planet. Their deeper reality exists as source material for the world that we know."
|
|
| 13 |
"Each person forms his or her own reality, and yet that personal reality must also be shared with others, and must be affected by the reality of others."
|
|
| 14 |
"You have an inner system of communication in which the cells of all living things are connected….there is a continuum of consciousness."
|
|
| 15 |
"The psyche expresses itself through action, of course, but it carries behind it the thrust from which life springs, and it seeks the fulfillment of the individual – and it automatically attempts to produce a social climate or civilization that is productive and creative. It projects its desires outward onto the physical world, seeking through private experience and social contact to actualize its potentials, and in such a way that the potentials of others are also encouraged."
|
|
| 16 |
"The universe is of good intent. It is automatically predisposed toward the creation of good events."
|
|
| 17 |
"In a way, the world is like a multidimensional, exotic plant growing in space and time, each thought, dream, imaginative encounter, hope or fear, growing naturally into its own bloom – a plant of incredible variety, never for a moment the same, in which each smallest root, leaf, stem or flower has a part to play and is connected with the whole."
|
|
| 18 |
"Each individual's dreams and thoughts interweave with every other person's."
|
|
| 19 |
"You are biologically and psychologically predisposed to grow within this rich environment, to contribute on all levels to the fulfillment of your species – but more than this, to add your own unique viewpoint and experience to the greater patterns of consciousness of which you are a part."
|
|
| 20 |
"Religion is an activity through which man attempts to see the meaning of his life. It is a construction based on deep psychic knowledge. No matter what name it might go by, it represents man's connection with the universe."
|
|
| 21 |
"Christ's message was that each man is good inherently, and is an individualized portion of the divine."
|
|
| 22 |
"You were born with an in-built recognition of your own goodness. You were born with an inner recognition of your rightness in the universe…You are born loving. You are born compassionate….You are born seeking to add value to the quality of life, to add characteristics, energies, abilities to life that only you can individually contribute to the world, and to attain a state of being that is uniquely yours, while adding to the value fulfillment of the world."
|
|
| 23 |
"On any given day, the events of our private lives fit within the larger pattern of world events, in which they have their context. On any given night the intimate events of our dream lives also exist in the greater context of the world's dreams, in which they have their reality."
|
|
| 24 |
"Each person is fired by the desire to act, and to act beneficially, altruistically, to practically put his stamp, or her stamp, upon the world."
|
|
| 25 |
"The world is the result of a multidimensional creative venture, a work of art in which each person and creature, and each particle, plays a living part."
