Seth: He who sets up closets of secrecy has nothing worth hiding

"Listen to your own being," Seth told Richie one night in 1972. "He who lords it
 over others makes himself into a false God. And he who drinks with gluttony the
 tribute of others needs it worse than drugs. And he who confuses you, confuses
 himself. And he who speaks in ambiguous terms (as Arturo did to his students)
 does so because he does not see clearly!

"The man who says -- or the spirit who says -- 'I alone have the truth, and
 these are the maps, and this is the only way,' or implies it through his 
teaching or his actions, does not have the way. The man or the spirit who sets
 himself up above you is not above you. There is no above or below in those
 terms... Any man who tells you, 'The knowledge  is secret and I will not tell
 it to the violets, or the roses, or the clouds, or the seagulls,'
 does not have the knowledge. It is as free as the air that flows...through
 your cosmic cheeks. It belongs to you. He who sets up closets of secrecy has 
nothing worth hiding."

Melody on Facebook:

Is this [lost religion quote below] where Jane allowed THIS to come through but then not the rest of the story due to her objection to sharing that explosive information at that time?

Mark M Giese replied:

Many of the Seth ideas in the books are "explosive" relative to common thought yet Seth freely shared same. One example is his assertion repeated on several occasions that Christ was not crucified, another person was.

Here is Jane from the introduction to Speaks: "The intimate knowledge of consciousness, the 'secrets of the universe,' are not esoteric truths to be hidden from the people, then. Such information is as natural to man as air, and as available to those who honestly seek it by looking to the source within."
—SS Introduction

And here is Seth: 'Any man who tells you, "The knowledge is secret and I will not
tell it to the violets, or the roses, or the clouds, or the seagulls," does
not have the knowledge. It is as free as the air that flows...through your cosmic cheeks. It belongs to you. He who sets up closets of secrecy has
nothing worth hiding.'

Ron Card has repeatedly asserted Seth would tell Rob to put the pen down and then regale Rob with explosive, not for publication, information. That is at odds with the two quotes above and Rob would have to then tell Jane to the best of his memory what Seth "secretly" told him unless it was only for Rob's ears and not Jane's which seems kind of preposterous. If Seth had elaborated on this lost religion idea (below), I hardly can imagine it would be any more explosive than his discussion of the Lumanians or the assertion that evolution is as much of a fairy tale as the Eden story, and so forth. Conventional-thinking people, who probably wouldn't be bothering to read a Seth book to begin with, would just dismiss these ideas as nonsense.

Below is from Seth's outline for Seth Speaks (quoted by Jane in her introduction to the book where she said he stuck to his outline better than she ever did for her books, but this was not addressed in Speaks or anywhere in the material that I know of):
 
"Now. There will be a chapter on the religions of the world, on the distortions and truths within them; the three Christs; and some data concerning a lost religion (pause; one of many), belonging to a people of which you have no information. These people lived on a planet in the same space that your planet now occupies, in quotes 'before' your planet existed. They destroyed it through their own error, and here reincarnated when your planet was prepared. Their memories (long pause), became the basis for the birth of religion as you now think of it."
