Nursery of the Gods Volume Two: Earth as a Training System

Consciousness survives the death of the body - that much cannow be asserted with certainty, based on the evidence presentedin Volume One of this book. But if consciousness is independentof matter, then what is the purpose of physical existence? Whyshould consciousness ally itself with physical form at all, if it is basically independent of it? What is our purpose as physical creatures? According to Seth - that nonphysical“energy personality essence” who dictated The Seth Materialthrough writer and mystic Jane Roberts - earthis a training system for emerging consciousness. Consciousnessis not static, but grows, evolves, and develops, and the physicalsystem is one arena of existence in which consciousness can gainexperience in the formation of reality. The human species set out millennia ago to develop a specializedform of consciousness - an ego-identity - that could perceivephysical reality in a radically new fashion. Human consciousness wouldbecome the thinking portion of the earth, and could begin toconstruct, for itself and the other creatures of the earth, a physical reality of the sort that a sane god would create. If this thesis iscorrect, it should be possible to trace the emergence of an ego-identity down through the millennia, following its historicaldevelopment as reflected in our changing mythologies, and inthe societies that created them. This volume sets out on a questto follow the developing ego through history’s pages, and endswith a revolutionary new understanding of our present culture,and the reasons behind our erroneous belief that consciousnessarises from matter, instead of the other way around.
