QuoteThere is no penance! You are here to develop. You do learn the consequences of your thoughts and actions, and you face them. But there is no penance! And I tell you this: there is no guilt. And I tell you: there is no guilt. You learn the consequence of your action and you face the consequence of your action. You create the idea of guilt. And when you believe in guilt, then you create the penance in accordance to how strongly you believe in the guilt.

QuoteWhat I objected to in your recording was the implication that once the conscious mind as you know it was quieted there was no other conscious mind to take over, and that the ordinary conscious mind was the only conscious mind that you have.
...
to the other conscious portions of your own personality, you are asleep. I tell you to awaken
This seems to be Seth's objecting to the belief about shutting down your mind into oblivion as being a "realization" worth pursuing.
Quoteyou form the physical reality that you know. You form your daily life and your work situation. You make it, you choose it! Now, when you truly understand this, you can change it for the better, but until you really understand the truth behind my words, then you will look for excuses.
These point to how our beliefs and limited development distort Seth's teachings, to various degrees, while we have no idea that this is the case.
QuoteI speak to you often in sympathy and compassion that you know so little and have so far to go, and yet you travel a road that I have also traveled and so I can, to some extent, enter into your experience and understand reality as it now appears to you, and yet it is a limited and indeed a shadowy reality.
Looking from that perspective, it makes sense that we shouldn't assign blame, neither to others nor to ourselves, beyond a level of grading our development / schooling framework. This doesn't mean that we shouldn't respond and act to our perceptions, just do it from that perspective.
