~Speaking of Seth~

About 20 years ago, I was surprised to hear a tv anchorman stating that a journalist's mission is to interpret the events for the people, to educate the audience, not just to report on news. I disagreed. From that time, I noticed more and more that the news try to manipulate the public opinion. Some of them do it for financial reasons,  others political reasons, others believing they are right. I would stick to just reporting based on the public's will to know.

Regarding the list you put together ... I think that it reflects your beliefs about what is good, and you would try to make people better (to manipulate them) by your standards (that you think to be the right ones).

You could do a poll on one of the "social" platforms about the subjects you listed, to find out how many people would follow vs. not follow each subject. I wouldn't watch most of them, although I don't have anything against most of them, but would feel like a waste of time, plus I would feel that somebody tries to manipulate me, and I dislike that.

By the way, for example "Lives saved in hospitals" isn't news, because that's what hospitals are supposed to do, but medical errors, or corruption are news that people should be aware of, even if they aren't widely spread. That's why it's called "news", because it isn't the "ordinary".

I believe that the news should refrain from induce fear, anger, hate, but also shouldn't hide unsavory events.

EDIT: This reminds a dialogue from the movie "Two weeks notice":
Hugh: You always say I have a responsibility towards those less fortunate.
Sandra: Everybody is less fortunate than you... So just give the money to someone who's not gonna spend it on collagen.
Hugh: You only want me to be generous to those you approve of.

Hello Bora137,
   I haven't found the quote I was looking for yet. But I thought I would offer this about the news.


The news is unfortunately driven by sensation and profits. It is meant to scare and upset you.


Good things that happen every day that hardly ever make the news:

-Happy people getting married.
-Healthy children being born.
-Businesses successfully experiencing their second year.
-Parks being opened, reopened, and dedicated.
-Lives saved in hospitals.
-New Medical Treatments discovered every day.
-Recovered patients leaving the hospital.
-Eagle Scouts helping the community with projects, charity and gifts.
-Children starting school.
-Children playing out of school in the snow.
-The delight of kids participating in sports: playing games, winning and losing - but enjoying it just the same.
-Children graduating high school.
-Students starting college for the first time. 
-People learning new and exciting things in every grade and college course.
-Teachers dedicating their lives to their students.
-Students graduating college.
-People starting new jobs everyday.
-People buying new, or, new-to-them cars.
-People giving their old cars to charities.
-People buying their first house.
-People paying off their mortgage.
-Pretty sunny days.
-Flowers and vegetables growing.
-New art and exhibits in museums.
-Beauty everywhere.
-Friends meeting, going to dinner having fun.
-Friends meeting at church and great events happening there.
-Couples making love for the first time.
-Exciting birds flying into and out of the area.
-People having a great time in a city, state or federal park.
-People helping strangers for no reason or gain.
-New inventions that change lives.
-Family reunions.
-People making new friends.
--- Etc., etc., etc..
 ! The list goes on and on. The world is brimming over with good things. !

Why aren't these things on the news?

Why watch news that doesn't include the good stuff?

Just a thought and a question.


As always, I wish for you, and everyone . . .

(Joy and) Happiness,
    Mik.

Thank you very much.

Mik.

Maybe sifting through the result of this search you can find what you're looking for:
"before birth"

@inavalan

I have seen that you are very good at knowing where to find specific Seth material. That is definetely not my strength.

Could you please help and  find, (and provide), the actual quote I just paraphrased from memory for Bora137...or send me in the right direction. I believe I even saw it once in one of your posts.

If you would, that would be great. Thank you in advance. If you don't want to - I fully understand. Thank you anyway.

Either way, have a wonderful day.

(Joy and) Happiness,
    Mik.

Hi all,

Does anyone know/remember if Seth ever spoke about different memory functions (in our brain) and its relationship to our spiritual development?

Such as the different ways we are able to retain and retrieve memories and how that relates to other lives for example?

I remember he spoke about why we remember certain dreams but I'm not sure if he ever went into detail regarding our physical memory function.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated 

@Bora137

To your original #1 comment here.

1) Stop watching/hearing/reading the news. A harmful use of time. You'll be much happier.

2) Have faith in your own ability to construct a good Earth for yourself.

3) There is no guarantee we will learn the lessons in this specific Time-Life-Cycle. Nor is it  necessary (Not a bad idea, though.) --- With infinite lives in infinite Now time, we get infinite do-overs.

I wish You Peace, if that is right for you.....


(Joy and) Happiness,
     Mik.

PS. Most individuals in thier Time-Life-Cycles do learn most, if not all, of the lessons they came to learn. This is True if they read Seth, Me, You, Their Parents, Edgar Caycy, or Dr Seuss.

As Seth says, (paraphrased):
Before birth a structure is created (by each individual self) and put in place to help everyone do that.

"Seth said more than a few times that predictions aren't always accurate, because we have free will and so things can change because of certain decisions made that will change probabilities. He rarely made predictions, but I do remember him saying (and I couldn't find the quote), that some probabilities are "more probable" than others because of trends in our behavior, or that the stage has already been set for a particular event. Also, although we do make our reality, it seems the oversoul's intentions trump the individual's."
@zoonie29 well said, that's very insightful. Particularly regarding the oversoul's intentions.

As a side note, quite often people refer to beliefs as conscious ones, insisting that if they "don't believe it, it won't happen", for example. Seth makes it abundantly clear that it's much more intricate and multi layered, as our beliefs form this whole universe down to every cellular structure.

@Mik

I dreamt that I was driving past an accident. It was eerily quiet on the road. I witnessed the whole horrendous event.

The next day (in waking life) I drove past the remnants of the accident. I knew exactly what had taken place and was extremely shaken by it. The content of my dream was confirmed in the news articles, with some very specific details, including the type of vehicle (there were no vehicles at the scene when I drove past in waking life). I knew exactly which vehicle had been involved and that a man had died on impact.

The "present" part was that the accident happened around the same time in the physical as when I was dreaming it (obviously I was present). It was eerily quiet because it happened early morning.

The future part: I was driving past the accident, both in my dream and the next day in waking life. The other more telling part was that when I was driving past it in waking life, I was on the phone. The words that my friend spoke in that moment were the exact words spoken in my dream in the moment of the accident.

The past part: that night I helped the man understand that he had passed over. I felt like I knew the man, from the past but in this life. This was just a feeling and unconfirmed.

I have had other dreams that involve past present and future in an even more definitive way.

What you are describing is that time is an illusion. There is only now: All past, present and future are now.

What I am describing is more closely aligned with "You define your reality" with what you think and believe.

I am intrigued by your dreams though.  How often do you experince that?

(Joy and) Happiness,
                Mik.

Yes this is true. I tend to talk about things that come to mind, which are triggered by the conversation but not necessarily relevant.

I love dreaming. Those type of dreams have happened throughout my life. Sometimes more sometimes less. One time I was doubting my intuition about something and I asked for clarity in my dreams (no matter how much validation, why do we always question?!). Well I got whacked so hard in my dream that I've learnt that I must trust my intuition or suffer the consequences. It was a predictive dream of a road accident. That dream involved present and future (verified) and past (I suspect)
