“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The so-called practical solution to your problems, Philip, is hardly practical and for many reasons. In the first place, having little respect for yourself for following such a course, you would not even be able to put on the act which you contemplate. Your sense of falseness would immediately be picked up by your superiors.

Many in the group to which you refer are not being consciously or unconsciously false to themselves. They simply know no better. In your dealings with these people you would immediately find yourself in difficulty. The hypocrisy simply would not go deep enough.

Also in the long run your salesman’s ability, which was partially developed in another life, would play you false under the circumstances which you contemplate. Drugs are definitely your field, but I tell you again that two men in particular, within the company, will be out of favor, and if you join their league you will also be out within two years.

Material matters may seem extremely practical to you. However there is nothing less practical than inner torment, and much inner torment is caused by a false sense of what is practical. Inner torment will cause you to lose whatever material gains you have achieved, and this is not practical.
