“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(To Mary Ellen.) You knew what the message would be before you came here on a subconscious basis and Ruburt, all unaware, has already delivered it to you, and it was in his terms to cool it because spontaneity must progress at its own rate and feel comfortable in both physical reality and inner reality. You are not to go into inner reality like a door to a closet, and close the door behind you. It may be comfortable, but that is not its purpose. Now, your own unconscious mind knew this and you were told to come so that the message could be delivered rather forcibly, so consider this a forcible delivery. You are doing very well.

Now, if there ever was a puritan remark it was the one that just escaped our friend, Ruburt’s lips, for in his mind still, you see, you must have this purpose and be active and it is wrong to simply go back to bed for no better reason than that you want to go back to bed.

Now, in all of your minds there is still this conception that what you want to do automatically, because you want to do it, must be wrong because it is too easy. Now reality is easy. This universe is not maintained by conscious thought and if all of you together had to consciously decide ahead of time why the universe should exist, it would not exist, for you would not have made up your mind yet. Be lucky and thankful that the inner self does not have these hang-ups. You see how well I do with your vocabulary.

Many of you would have questioned yourselves for an hour, “Why do I want to go back to bed? It is wicked and lazy and wrong of me to even think of such a thing. How will the world do without me if I am not up and about? The devil deals with idle minds.” And so, at the end of an hour, had you begrudgingly gone to your bed, the inspiration would have long since departed. What inspiration could hang around in such thought? You laugh spontaneously, the Gods laugh spontaneously. They do not stop, first of all, to decide whether it is right or wrong.

(To Mack.) First of all, you are protecting the inner self very well and you have a protective attitude toward it which is good. Our friend over here deliberates, which is also good, but he does not deliberate in a dry manner, but creatively. And while he does not speak often in class, what is said in class sinks into his mind, and he uses it in his own way. He uses what is important and discards what he does not need.

Ruburt had some experiments in mind for class tonight. Some of them I think you could all use.

Creativity is its own responsibility. It follows laws that are beyond those that you realize or recognize. It answers needs that consciously you do not know exist. It has its own validity, and it will always work. The defeatist kind of literature, to which you are referring, often serves to bring to the foremost of the mind the deepest fears that have been unrecognized and being unrecognized has done the greatest damage. Also, such information brings issues to the foremost where they will be dealt with. There are gradations of creativity as there are gradations to anything else, but all will be used creatively. And you will get further answers from yourself and doubtlessly from me.
