“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

When you are bothered by noise and tumult, by traffic and the sound of neighbors’ voices, by lawn mowers and other irritating sounds, try this: do not fight them. Purposely plunge into them; go along with them as action, and they can refresh you.

It can even serve as a framework for creativity, for from these raw materials you can forge and direct energy for your own purposes. You can take that tumult and use it, but not if you set yourself up against it. Then, it is threatening to you.

From the sound, the assaulting onrushing sound of traffic, if you listen you can emerge with the prize—perhaps an abstract, with the pulsating sounds transferred to rhythm and color; or perhaps again a portrait, here, of a compulsive personality, driven, and yet behind it all the purpose which is not easily seen, and the reason.

I have given you a few examples simply to clarify my remarks. But these evidences of action, apparently chaotic and undisciplined, are parts of inner frameworks that do have both purpose and reason.

Crystallization follows crystallized experience. Art comes from raw emotion, within your system at least, that is then crystallized and disciplined. The seemingly chaotic is recognized, felt, and then put into patterns. What is not generally understood however, is that the seemingly chaotic experiences do have purpose. The state of your inner physical organism, viewed from another perspective, is a chaotic one, but it works to find purpose.
