Seth emphasized that the human race has plans for itself based on its comprehensions of idealized probable future developments. The war that has just broken out in Israel is based on religious concepts where there are different notions of God. Seth makes the point that our god concepts change as our consciousness evolves. The religious concepts in turn affect the type of civilization we choose to experience. Martin Luther, he explains, is just as responsible for the USA as George Washington is, and because of Christ there was an England and an Industrial Revolution. In western civilization, he points out that the male aspects of our consciousness (and god concepts) had to be emphasized over the female in order for the developing ego to survive and prosper. That will change. Future religions will emphasize the freedom of man to develop and express ideas that emphasize cooperative aspects of consciousness, as opposed to conflict.
