“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Remember that all of your behavior was not negative however, and give thanks for those abilities and accomplishments that are your own. Now, imagine (underlined) how you will feel when your paintings sell, the joy that they will bring others, the joy that you will feel knowing they are wanted. Imagine what you will do as you sell so many paintings that you need more time to produce them, and how you will then leave your job in order to paint, and the sort of place you will live, and the feeling of contentment and creative challenge that will fill you.

Your own intuitions may suggest acts for you to take that will be beneficial. Be alert to the inner voice, so that if this is the case you will hear. Consider all of your contacts as possibilities, all of which may unfold, but do this imaginatively rather than willfully.

Otherwise he simply feels the weight of his errors, and becomes angry at himself. You may say “It’s all right, you are learning. Now feel the inner self remedy the condition.” But do not say “Your shoulders are stiff,” or “You are not walking well,” for you reinforce the condition. Say instead “You will find you can walk easier. Feel yourself flexible. Give your inner self a chance.”

(But upon reflection, I see that the part about “letting it go otherwise” is all too true, etc.)

(True. At break I took pains to explain to Jane that with the new approach I was using, I was quite aware that Seth had said it all before, and planned to go back over portions of the material thoroughly.)

He did indeed fear destruction so that he saw it everywhere, and therefore in himself. Nevertheless his creative functions continued. In one frown of yours he saw ten, and imagined all kinds of dire thoughts were going on within your head. A myriad of negative thoughts paraded and were exaggerated.

Unless you place limitations these released powers will operate in all channels of your reality. (Humorously.) I did not realize that I had to speak to you in such simple terms. Now you may take your break. This is a read-along session...

Imagine your reactions as if the events were already accomplished physical facts. Embellish them as much as possible. Then forget them. The feeling of expectancy is all important, that in the end all good can come today.

Form your new reality with as much trust and love and confidence, creativity and joy, as you do a painting, or Ruburt a poem. You have denied your powers. No one has closed you off. You had closed yourselves off. On the other hand, once you realize this there is no failure. You have your own abilities to work with however. This does not mean that Ruburt should expect to go off and make great money as a musician. But expect abundance and the release of all your abilities.

There he can (underlined) be very free. Abundance is a good word to use, for it signifies a free and easy access to all pleasurable things, including creativity, mobility, both mental and physical, and easiness in flow (underlined) of any kind.

Now. The main point is the acceptance that all of this is as natural as rain or the seasons.

This does not mean you cannot have a home where there is no traffic, and where it is still. If you persisted upon focusing on noise rather than quiet however, you would find no quiet regardless of the circumstances. It would obviously be ridiculous to settle in the middle of a city like New York if you valued quiet above all things, so common sense operates. Yet even in the midst of that noise you could find quiet if that was your reality. There are several more points I want to make, rather important ones.

Do not, from your experience with one gallery, project a negative attitude toward all galleries, any more than Ruburt should do this with publishers. This is highly important and represents a block in your progress.

Ruburt should definitely send some poetry manuscripts out, and work at his poetry. If he does not, then how can he complain that he has not written much lately? Galleries are a way of selling paintings. If you automatically view them negatively you are setting limitations. Let all doors be open.

Ruburt’s word should be flexibility in all aspects of his life. Now he thinks he punishes his body for being ill by not allowing it pleasure with you in intimate relations. He is now realizing that there is nothing to punish it for.
