“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

We find here a swing between aggressiveness and dependency. In the female existence of which I am speaking, it was the aggressiveness which the personality found distasteful; and in this existence we find the dependency, which you see does not fit in with the personality self-image.

—for we find in all cases that creativity rises first in what you would term passive terms. The aggressive reaction is actually but the termination of a passive creativity. It is your confusion of terms, and the distortive nature of human understanding concerning sexual give-and-take, that makes you think that dependency is weakness. For in many cases dependency is a passivity that leads to creation.

What appears to you as aggression in these terms is merely the tail end, or the apparent manifestation of creation. The male personality then finds himself unable to accept so-called passive subconscious manifestations with ease, this being in part the result of feminine existences.

However, the personality does not seem at this time able to realize that this inhibited passivity is indeed the basis for all resultant aggressive behavior.
