“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The knowledge then available is first of all creative, intuitive knowledge which the outer ego may translate into intellectual terms when possible. But it is no longer fearful of intuitive data. It no longer fights the inner senses, nor does it fear for its own survival in the midst of intuitional onrushes.

I am however directing this particular discussion toward Ruburt. As far as his overall personality structure is concerned, creativity is a must. Without it he does not feel secure. His identity is strongly connected with his creativity. The financial success of his book is extremely important to you both, incidentally, on a conscious egotistical level.

Such financial success is therefore important, and has its place, but when Ruburt allows himself to become overly concerned with this, then he identifies too closely with the ego alone. There are obvious financial moves he intends to make. Well and good. These moves are not however basically important to the personality as a whole. They should be taken simply, but the overall energies should be used in creativity. When he identifies too closely with the ego he loses inner direction.

If he first of all focuses his abilities in his creative pursuits, then everything else will follow. He will have the energy to do whatever else he should do. But he must primarily focus his energies in his creative pursuits, for these give him the exuberance that makes other pursuits possible.

He has finally decided to make financial steps. Now, I do not believe they will be necessary. Both of you do believe them necessary. Therefore you see to you, or to Ruburt, this becomes a necessity. He is now ready to accept this rather than brood, and this will be of help, for the brooding drained his energy. The brooding however, rather than the necessity, you see, was the difficulty. The energies and focus must be directed away from the physical symptoms. He is reinforcing them inadvertently. The creative energy, properly used, will drain away the energy that is now forming the symptoms.
