“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It has been dammed up and directed against the self. There is a need in him for excitement, but because of the maturity of the personality, the excitement now must in some manner be purposeful.

The power of his energies, unfortunately, can be seen quite clearly in the severity of the symptoms that the energy formed when it was so misdirected. The personal material on his background that I gave you is all part of this, of course. He felt extreme resentment at Fell generally. Since he did not want to hurt anyone, this ricocheted, affecting him. (F. Fell published the ESP book.)

He is learning to handle, direct, manipulate and use his energy. Any serious difficulty here can automatically set forth old time bombs, that have, in the past, been denied energy, you see. When he is enthusiastically and exuberantly working, the past becomes comparatively insignificant for him as far as harmful elements are concerned.

He had, in fact, given some excellent suggestions earlier, which still served to protect him during the afternoon. These wore off and were not renewed, and the intense resentment then emerged in the symptoms.

Even in sleep then, energy is used constructively. The mailing out of manuscripts with which he is pleased is automatically beneficial, in that energy is being directed outward. At his best he does lose himself in work, and finds himself; but the work must be to him exciting, highly creative and challenging. Work for work’s sake will not do for him.

He must be in throes of creativity. This can apply to actual work on a manuscript, intellectual excitement, or intuitional discovery, but a humdrum creative ritual is defeating for him. His energy will then attempt to explode in other fashions, and denied this will feed on its origins and result in physical symptoms.
