“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

As far as helping other people is concerned, [Ruburt] can help far better in his psychic class, or in another additional one. I am not telling him not to have his creative writing class. He can do as he likes. He will be using the same ideas, but different methods, in any case. The people who have called about creative writing are only using that as an excuse. They feel a need of development in many areas.

(Oddly enough, the notice about the writing class has spurred calls about the ESP class. Jane was concerned about the influx of people for the latter, since she has run out of room in the apartment. She told me the problems made her “nervous but happy” as she considered them.)

(9:35.) The symbols or images may change as you do so, so that you perceive little similarity between, say, the initial image and the next one. The connection may be highly intuitional, however, associative, and creative. Often a few moments’ reflection afterward will allow you to see why the one image merged into the other. A single image may suddenly open up into an entire mental landscape, but you will know none of this if you do not acknowledge the first clues that are just beneath present awareness, and almost transparent if you are only willing to look.

The fluctuations mentioned earlier are often quite minute, yet highly significant. The conscious mind knows well of its own fluctuating state. When once it is led to face this, it finds not chaos, or worse, nonexistence, but the source of its own abilities and strength. The personality then begins to use its own potential.

You are active in these other layers whether or not you are aware of it. You learn not only in physical life and in the dream state, but in these interior existences of which you have no memory. Creative abilities of a specific nature, or healing abilities, are often trained in this fashion, only then emerging into physical actuality.

Your future thoughts and acts are as real in these dimensions as if they had already occurred, and as much a part of your development. You are formed not only by your past but by your future, and by alternate existences. These great interactions are only a part of the framework of your soul. You can, therefore, change present reality as you understand it from any of these other layers of consciousness.
