“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

If the impetus on your parts is not that strong, or if fear operates, if Ruburt is afraid for example, of being put to a “test”, in quotes, then of course the proper stimulus is not present. The best time to get information is when it is mentioned initially. This does not mean that further information cannot be given. It is simply not as easy to obtain. Ruburt’s own change of attitude will be of great benefit to us from here on however, and such incidents will diminish.

I used the term (ego) often myself for your convenience, and I use it now for the same reason. I believe that I will tell you this for your definition: the ego is the portion of identity that is presently focused within an apparent now—that is, it is primarily designed as a mental tool, focusing within time as it is known and experienced by physical creatures.

You (smile) with your peculiar interests, can (underline) roam quite freely, art galleries and museums, in either the past, present and future, in those terms, and a sufficient impetus will help you do so. In other words, if you tie your psychic endeavors with your love of art there will be no difficulties. Simply the knowledge that the psychic endeavors will help your creativity should be a sufficient impetus.

(Humorously.) My telepathic abilities must not be operating well this evening, for I took it for granted that this is what you meant by your question; knowing what I did of your use of the psychic knowledge in your present works.
