“说法者”的首次亮相

摘自《灵魂永生》附录第558节

（这段课的摘录包括赛斯第一次提及“说法者”以及他们在转世过程中的作用，补充了第十七章的“说法者”资料。

（上这节课是因为ESP班的学员罗恩和他的太太葛丽丝请求赛斯帮忙解决一个涉及他们家庭的难题。针对他们的问题讲了一些非常有趣的资料后，赛斯在11点15分左右热心地谈起“说法者”的资料。我们所有在场的人都很惊讶，赛斯用到的“说法者”这个词，当时对于我和珍，以及对罗恩和他的家人而言，都闻所未闻。）

我们认识的人当中，有好几个前世曾为僧侣。现在，（对罗恩说：）在早于基督时代的一生，公元前1200年，你出生在东方，是一个密教传承团体的一员。你们是流浪者，足迹遍及小亚细亚。

你们把讯息和律法装在脑海里，这些讯息和律法曾在一个几乎被人遗忘的时代传给你们同类中的一员。这些是“道德律”。它们源自亚特兰提斯时代。而亚特兰提斯人又是从另一个星球的某个部族那里得到了这些律则。这个部族与亚特兰提斯的起源有关。这些讯息在亚特兰提斯时代以文字和语言的形式记载下来，但在那之后便以口授流传。

你们的人从长者那儿学到那些律则，他们被称为“说法者”。你当时就是一个“说法者”。这就是为何你发现自己很容易称别人为你的兄弟的原因。特别是在你手下工作的三个人，就来自最初的那群人（罗恩在一个制造厂里担任主管）。你的太太、儿媳和儿子（三人当晚都在场），也都是其中的一员。不过，你的太太和儿媳当时是兄弟。

在当时的一个大动乱时期，你旅行过小亚细亚，所到之处无不登堂说法，大谈你的伦理道德。你花了十二年的训练来记住这些道德律则。

后来苦修派的人也牵涉了进来。我不太确定是不是这个名字。

（苦修派是在基督时代活跃于圣地的四大犹太教派之一。他们是一个平和的、喜欢静思的团体。圣经里并没有提到他们。如果赛斯在这儿说的是苦修派也牵涉进来传播“说法者”的道德律的话，那么对应其时间应该是公元一世纪，这与罗恩的那一生相差了好多个世纪。）

（罗恩的太太葛莉丝说：“赛斯，请问我们当时有没有完成我们的目标？”）

在那一生中，有的。请多给我一点时间。当时你们的团体内部充满了混乱和分歧。你们对记下来的字句，在解释上产生了分歧，团体因此而分裂。其中一部分人去了我们现在称之为巴勒斯坦的地方，另一部分人在下个世纪移居南欧。

当时一个主要的误解与“贝尔”B-A-E-L这个名词有关 。有个团体聚集在一起，把贝尔奉为他们心目中的“神”。而你（罗恩）则属于另一个团体。在丛林中有一个城市叫做满西尼 ——M-E-S-S-I-N-I，这是我尽量以音取字翻译出来的名字。在小亚细亚，当时那里残存着过去的某个文明。一个新城市被建立起来而后也消失了。但是，当古老的讯息再一次被写成文字符号时，它们被镌刻于岩石之上。你们的人从此各奔东西，直到如今你们才又团聚。

（11点27分。珍的出神状态非常好。她几乎睁不开眼睛，就算勉强睁开也维持不久。她说，在她传述时曾看见一些影像，但现在无法描述出来。

（此后过了十节课，赛斯告诉我和珍，说我们也曾是“说法者”，不过他未曾提及在何时何地，也没有说起珍、罗恩和我是否本来就在哪个古老的年代相识过，而现在或许是再续前缘？在我看来，至少在这一生里，罗恩和我的相识非常奇特：我们几乎同龄，又同在埃尔迈拉附近的小镇长大，我们两家人又都互相认识，可是我和他直到1970年才见面……

（也许是由于罗恩前世曾为说法者——说不定这个经历还在他的某些其他主观层面上一直继续着——罗恩非常热心教会方面的工作，而且对于圣经及其有关的题材知之甚详。他对赛斯的一些资料做了详细说明，后来，我通过各种参考著作核对了部分资料。由于珍对那些历史年代几乎完全没有概念，所以她很高兴赛斯资料能引发我们研究的兴致。

（赛斯/珍拼出的神的名字是Bael（贝尔）。许多资料中显示的拼法是Baal（巴尔），可能是因为这个词的发音和Bael（贝尔）一样。在古代美索不达米亚的楔形文字中这个字用作Bel。所谓的巴尔即“主”的意思，是古代闪米特人所崇拜的众神的统称。根据叙利亚的楔形文字记载，在基督诞生之前的好多世纪，大约追溯至公元前1400年，对巴尔神的崇拜就出现在叙利亚和以色列。这个年代很有意思，因为这与赛斯向罗恩提到的公元前1200年，以及他的团体因为信奉巴尔神意见不合而产生冲突的那一段暗相呼应。大多数情况下，巴尔是指多产之神，它的石刻形象所象征的可能是男性生殖崇拜。根据正统的以色列信仰，巴尔或自然崇拜是一种偶像崇拜，是对任何道德价值的否认。

（在我们谈论大家都毫无所知的满西尼这个城市时，赛斯又回来简短地讲了几句：）

请把R-A-M-A（拉玛）这个词记下来，这是另外一个城市的名字。再聊几句，然后我就真的要向诸位道晚安了。

（拉玛是好几个巴勒斯坦城镇都使用的名字，在希伯来语中是“高”的意思。圣经典故中这个词与一些祭礼中的高地有关，这些高地遭到人们的排斥，因为它们被视为罪恶之地，威胁到以色列人的信仰，包括大逆不道的偶像崇拜——巴尔的神柱崇拜就是其中之一。以上是我在课后才查出来的资料，在上课时我们对这些全无知晓。11：48分继续。）

从你们的角度来看，请注意，我这里说的是仅从你们的角度来看，基督降世应该是第二次来到人间。因为仅从你们的历史角度来说，早在亚特兰提斯时代他就来过，只不过当时的记录已荡然无存，除了极少数幸存者还记得这件事，大部分人都全然遗忘了。

其实，若真以人间的历史角度而论，他是一个反复出现于你们物质系统内的存有，但却只有两次被认出。一次是在亚特兰提斯时代，另一次则出现在那个误传、扭曲极多的基督故事里。因此，他在物质世间反复再现，有时让人知道，有时不知道。诚如我曾说过的，他并不是“一个”人格，却是一个高度发展的存有，有时则以他自己的一个片段体出现。

用你们的话说，他永远让自己与你们的时空结构交织，一再地诞生于这个血肉的世界，生于其中又独立其外，正如你们也全都是世界的一部分，却又独立于世界之外一样。

既然我们的小朋友（罗恩的儿媳雪莉）生怕我吵到邻居，我就给出一个希望是温柔的微笑，并向你们温柔地道一声晚安，也送出我的祝福。

（晚上11：55分结束。珍的出神状态依然很深，她花了好一会儿才回来。她说：“哇，我现在强烈地感觉到那股能量，穿透了我，一直带着我……”）

（课后罗恩为我们解释了圣经马太福音第24节所提到的“基督再临”。他还告诉我们在马太、马可与路加福音中耶稣曾多次预言自己的死亡和复活，以及门徒们对此产生的不安与误解。甚至在被钉十字架之后，复活的耶稣在种种不同的场合也没被认出来。）

SESSION 558, NOVEMBER 5, 1970,

9:50 P.M. THURSDAY

（This excerpt from the session contains Seth’s first mention of the Speakers and their functions in the reincarnational process, and supplements the Speaker data in Chapter Seventeen.

（The session came about because Ron B. and his wife, Grace, members of ESP class, requested help with a problem involving their family. After winding up some very interesting material concerning that situation, Seth launched into the Speaker data at about 11:15. All of us present were surprised. The term “Speaker," as Seth uses it, was as unknown to Jane and me then as it was to Ron and his family.）

We have known several people who were monks in a previous existence. Now.（To Ron）: In a life in the east before the time of Christ. 1200 B.C., you were a member of a body of men who belonged to an esoteric heritage. You were wanderers and traveled also through Asia Minor.

You carried with you in your heads messages and laws that had been given to one of your kind in a time that was already nearly forgotten. These were codes of ethics. They originated from the time of Atlantis. Before that, these codes were given by a race from another star. This race had to do with the origin of Atlantis. The messages were put into words and language and written down at the time of Atlantis, but after that they were handed down by word of mouth.

Your people learned them from their elders, and they were called Speakers. You were a Speaker. This is why you find it so easy to call others your brothers. Now: Three men in particular who are under you （in the manufacturing plant where Ron holds a supervisor’s position）, were part of that original band of men. Your wife, your daughter-in-law and your son （all present this evening） were also members of that band. Your wife and your daughter-in-law, however, were brothers. Now give us a moment here. 

You traveled through Asia Minor in a time of great turmoil, and wherever you went you spoke --which means you gave utterance to the ethics. It took you twelve years of training to memorize this code of ethics.

Now later the Essenes were involved. I am not sure of the word.

（The Essenes were one of the four known Jewish sects active in the Holy Land at the time of Christ. They were a peaceful, contemplative group. They aren’t mentioned in the Bible. If Seth means that the Essenes were promulgating the Speakers' codes of ethics in, say, the first century A.D., then this of course is a time many centuries later than Ron’s life in 1200 B.C.

（Ron's wife, Grace: “Seth, did we fulfill our purposes in that time? ”）

In that existence, yes. You must give me time. There was turmoil within the group, disagreement. There was disagreement over the meaning of the words that were recalled. The group became divided. One portion of the group traveled to the land we now call Palestine, and the other migrated, in the next century, appealing in southern Europe.

There was a major distortion having to do with B-A-E-L （spelled）. A group gathered together with Bael as their idea of God. You （Ron） were with the other group. There was a city in a jungle -- M-E-S-S-I-N-I （spelled） as nearly as I can translate it. In Asia Minor, and fragments of a past civilization were then there. A new city was built which in its turn also disappeared. There were writings on rocks, however, as the old messages were once again put into written symbols. But your people were gone, and you are only now finding them again.

（11:27. Jane's trance had been very good. She had trouble opening her eyes, then in keeping them open. She had seen images while giving the material, she said, but couldn’t describe them to us now.

（Ten sessions after this one, Seth told Jane and me that we had been Speakers also, although he said nothing about dates or countries, or whether Jane, Ron, or I might be renewing acquaintances made in other, perhaps very ancient times. It seems to me that in this life at least, Ron and I encountered each other in quite a strange way: almost of an age, we grew up in the same small town near Elmira many years ago; we knew of each other’s family - and yet we didn’t meet until 1970....

（Possibly reflecting his early Speaker practices -- which may be continuing on subjective levels--Ron is active in lay church work, and knows much about the Bible and related subjects. He elaborated upon some of Seth’s data; later, I checked portions through various reference works. Jane, since she knows practically nothing about the historical periods in question, was very pleased that Seth’s data was so evocative.

（Seth-Jane spelled the god’s name Bael. Most sources spell it Baal, possibly pronounced as Bael. The Akkadian form, Bel, was used in ancient Mesopotamia. Baal --lord --was the name or title of a number of local deities of ancient Semitic peoples. Baal worship appeared in Syria and Israel many centuries before the birth of Christ -- as early as 1400 B.C., according to Syrian cuneiform texts. This date is very interesting, in light of the 1200 B.C. Seth mentions for Ron, and the conflict within his group over Baal. Baal was most often a god of fertility, its image of stone probably a phallic one. According to orthodox Israelite belief, Baal or nature worship was idolatrous, a denial of any moral values.

（While we were talking about the city of Messini, about which none of us knew anything, Seth returned briefly）:

Now: Write down R-A-M-A （spelled）. It is another city. Give us a moment and then we will indeed say good' evening....

（Ramah is the name of several Palestinian towns, and means “height" in Hebrew. Biblical allusions associate the name with some of the “high places ” of cultic practice. These sites, rejected as immoral and threatening to Israelite belief, contained objects of illegitimate worship -- the sacred pillar of Baal being one such. I discovered all of this information through research after the session. None of it was known to us at the time. Resume at 11:48.）

In your terms, and in your terms only, the coming of Christ was the Second Coming. （Pause.） In those terms -- and again, this is important --in those terms only, he appeared at the time of Atlantis, but the records were destroyed and forgotten except in the memory of a few who survived.

Now, again in those terms, he is an entity who appears time and time again within your physical system, but he has been recognized on only two occasions. Once in Atlantis, and once in the Christ story as it has come down to you in all of its distortions. He appears and reappears therefore, sometimes making himself known and sometimes not. He was not one personality, as I have told you, but a highly developed entity, sometimes appearing as a fragment of himself.

In your terms he eternally weaves himself within the fabric of your time and space, born again and again into the world of flesh, being a part of it while also independent of it, even as you are all a part of it but independent of it.

Now: Since our little friend over here （Ron’s daughter- in-law, Sherry） is worried lest I annoy the neighbors （very loudly）, I will smile what I hope is a gentle smile, and bid you a gentle good evening, with what blessings I have to give.

（End at 11:55 PM Jane’s trance had again been deep, and it took her a while to come out of it. "Wow, ” she said, “I feel that energy so strongly now, going through me, carrying me along.... ”

（After the session Ron explained the Second Coming as given in the Bible in Matthew 24. He also told us about Jesus predicting his own death and resurrection several times in Matthew, Mark and Luke, and of the resulting uncertainty and misunderstanding of the disciples. Even after his crucifixion the risen Jesus wasn’t recognized on various occasions.）
