“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

We now have a good deal of spontaneity and freedom within our sessions. A good deal, simply because we are working within a framework of discipline.

I am not saying that you should not talk about our sessions or allied subjects with friends, only that one night or sometimes two, of social discourse should certainly contain some more outward enjoyments. It would do Ruburt no harm either to resume his painting. His time as a rule is very busily engaged, and usually with mental work. It is all the more important therefore that his leisure have some outward aspect to it, and when possible of an active nature.

His Saturday housecleaning, believe it or not, is excellent for him. The short story work is a very good balance actually, for both his poetry and the book of mine that he is working on. I had meant to mention this earlier. The people, the young people with whom you work, Joseph, are very good guests for you to have. Mark is good for you both, and in many instances his impulse to get you both out of the house has been a good one.

These energies now will, I believe, go into our sessions, and into his own work. And some arrangements for physical outlets will help also.

I am very pleased with both of your experiments and with your progress, and particularly, Joseph, with your portrait work. You will do very well along this line.
