Welcome to the secret YCYOR club!

I completely agree with what you wrote: "by resourcefully being present authentically, gracefully, leads us to interact effectively with others who feel differently. But then, a brick wall is a brick wall.... "
Peace and Love,
...Jeffrey

@Sethnicity:
Otherwise, I guard myself

I think Seth states this is not necessary. You naturally fulfill yourself.

The same is true of the brick wall.
Seth states that things are only obstacles if you believe they are.

Also Seth states "You have the right to say no!" and "...you can go counter to those assumptions".

With those two tools in hand there is no reason to be a hermit or to skulk away from arenas that christians or muslims dominate. Stand out, be a sore thumb. Your imagination is flexible as are beliefs. That is why we can change them. If your beliefs are attacked, stand your ground, see how well they defend you. Yeah, you may have to patch the armour after the bout but anger is not to be denied. It must flow through you, as Seth tells us.

Think of the Civil Rights movement. The mobilization of beliefs, indeed. There were those who were beaten, burned and imprisoned for standing out and being sore thumbs. But in the end the actions of those few have rippled out and affected others across the world.

Dare to say it at the work place. "I am not a christian. Christ will not save my soul. No, I did not babtize my daughter, and you?". You can literally hear a pin drop as your words fade into the silence that falls across the room. The first time I did that in the lunchroom I was let go three weeks later.

Is there more value to oneself and others by completely following YCYOR concepts than by conveniently following it?

Is acceptance by society, friends and family of less value than acceptance and practice of one's personal beliefs?

Can one provide value within the framework of old dogmatic structures of social, business and religious life when their beliefs are counter to and unacceptable to society at large?

Is there an attitude and temperament that would allow a Seth Material Practitioner to straddle both worlds while staying true to core beliefs?

I believe in YES!



Hi Jeffrey

I tried straddling and I found myself stretched. I tried compromising and not compromising, neither worked. Now I live my core belief while navigating through a morass of otherness. I do not go up against the bedrock conceptual realities of other, I don't debate, I don't discuss nor do I dispute. When I am at my best I get on with my stuff silently...only if asked will I mention the Seth material.


Society at large is like the matrix to me and I find that since I am not an activist in anyway, nor am I seeking to change mass events, I am relatively free. My idealism is very personal. The world is true to me, exactly as it is. It is so true that I leave most of what is going on alone. My colleagues have come to know that most things that enthral them I simply will not discuss. This way I get to keep ‘friends and influence people’.


Paradoxically this is an old teaching I learnt well before Seth and stuff when I was studying with a Taoist occultist who was very insistent on the path of the 'silent warrior' and ‘silent power’.

So for me there is no conflict of truths, only difference in perspective and awareness. And since I have no agenda,--- not even making the world a better place….its all stage sets, plays and actors.

Something Adrian Corbeth posted recently reminded me of the joy that I felt when I first started reading Seth. Part of it states that "your reality is purpose, and knows itself." I am thankful for that reminder because I have struggled with manifesting certain things in my life. I have done pretty well in some areas, but think that I try too hard. It is like some dreams of flying that I used to have. I would flap and flap with all my might, only to rise inches above the ground. Other dreams when I just thought of flight, I was able to achieve it with no problem. I'm finished flapping my wings. My larger self knows what I need, and will provide if I just allow it to. Instead of throwing up roadblocks, I will just let things flow!
Peace all!

Another thing that comes to mind is the 'mass mindset' and the pyschic charge of it. The way often people start sentences with 'we' and 'us' and even the universal 'you'. I find that even in language there is an unconscious effort to impose and state a bed rock truth about the nature of things and the way things are.

I find this more common place than those who speak from a personal persepective on life and 'truth'. I'm pretty indifferent at one level, but when I am close up and personal with a person who uses 'we' statements as a hard truth in thier dialogue, I feel I am with an animated 'programe' with minor shades of individuality. Even before Seth I was very taken with theories of individuation from the tribe and from the mass.


I have to remember not to allow mself to get seduced and re-entranced by mass beliefs but most of all I try to remember not to get distracted. I was in the supermarket yesterday listening to seth audio on thoughts their psychic patterning and magnetic qualities. Like does indeed attract like and I guess eventually a tipping point is reached and 'truth sets in'.

I can see your point of expiring judgement


My car has a bumper sticker which says...
