1970-1971 · Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the SoulAI summary (single book)
The Lumanians were the second of three great civilizations in Earth's history, existing before known human history, and Seth mentioned that he himself had been one of them [chunk 270, 393, 9856]. The core characteristic of this civilization lay in its physiological experiment with "nonviolence." They attempted to screen out violence physiologically, so that the body could not respond to aggressive commands, even preventing violence by fainting or attacking its own systems [chunk 263, 9866]. However, this built-in control led to severe energy blockage, making their bodies extremely thin and weak, and even impairing the telepathic abilities of some individuals [chunk 263, 264, 9870]. Because of their extreme fear of violence, they did not dare give the bodily system the opportunity for free expression, thereby depriving individuals of the right to learn through their own methods and creatively transform violence, and abandoning free will [chunk 265, 9872, 9874]. In terms of technology and art, the Lumanians were extremely advanced. They bypassed the automobile and steam engine stages, focused on a "sound" technology inaudible to the human ear, and developed artificial foods to avoid killing [chunk 263, 9870]. Their art was highly developed, and sounds could instantly establish vivid multidimensional inner images in the mind [chunk 270, 273]. They could also project thoughts onto specific frequencies and transform them into shapes or colors [chunk 268]. Because they could not trust the violent forces of nature, their civilization was mainly built underground, with an intricate and beautifully designed system of subterranean passageways, and they used surface peepholes and cameras to observe the earth and stars with precision [chunk 266, 267, 270, 9876, 9882]. Although they screened out violence, they could not screen out fear. Because they were physiologically unable to resist nature violently, they were full of fear of natural forces, which led to a serious separation between humans and nature [chunk 266, 9874, 9876]. In search of protection, they created and projected a strong male god image, which much later evolved into the angry god Yahweh who protected the "chosen people" [chunk 266, 274, 9876]. In the end, because the experiment did not achieve expectations and the subconscious memories of the preceding civilization gradually weakened, the civilization moved toward dissolution [chunk 264, 266, 9870, 9874]. Some people went to other planetary systems after death, while large numbers left the underground cities, destroyed the energy fields, and intermarried with uncivilized natives, hoping that their descendants would inherit a reduced tendency toward violence [chunk 264, 9870]. These remnants migrated together with animals and became the source of later myths of "half-human, half-beast" beings [chunk 264, 265]. In the Stone Age, human ancestors sought shelter in the underground cities they had abandoned, and imitated and modified their tools [chunk 267, 9876]. The Lumanians' intense desire for nonviolence still echoes in the human psychic environment today, and in the reality of multidimensional time and probabilities, they still exist, and in some probable system they successfully completed the nonviolence experiment [chunk 274, 275].
