“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Most individuals dwell focused so rigidly in your particular area of space and time that the greater dimensionality of the entity is unknown to them at a conscious level. Any intrusions from other layers of actuality are promptly shut down.

They are considered as notself, dangerous or alien. Only in the dream state is any such communication allowed. The greater reality of the self is therefore largely unsuspected, and the great knowledge possessed by it remains unknown at a conscious level.

The conscious mind however is (underlined) evolving, in your terms. It is not the finished product. You may include this information in my book, but it is not book dictation. Creativity as it is generally known represents but a small portion of far more extensive capacities. Creativity as you understand it is the three-dimensional aspect then of greater abilities that belong to our consciousness innately, whether it is consciously materialized or not (period).

The reasons given still apply, but all within this greater framework. The body’s needs to some extent even have changed. Now much of this would have frightened you both in the past, and could not have been given until you reached a particular point of development, and achieved a new status both separately and in your relationship.

Now. In your own way you have done the same thing, and for the same reasons, as far as your work is concerned. You have tried doggedly (intently) to interpret greater experience in old ways, using “old” (in quotes) channels that are adequate for usual creativity in art—but painfully restrictive as far as you are concerned. I will have much more to say to you regarding that.

With the development of abilities however the importance of conscious thought became greater than before. The mind in one way was becoming more aware of reality, using greater energy and taking ever greater responsibility, which it did not bear to that degree before. The acceleration of mental creativity therefore meant that the creative energy of thoughts became ever greater in practical terms. Do you follow me?

On the other hand you must at the minimum (underlined) work 4 and ½ hours a day at your own painting. Chores will be taken care of, and fall into their proper place. The same applies to Ruburt at his work. You can utilize your nap period to a far greater degree than you do. You are to consider yourselves pioneers. Ruburt in particular is now finally to forget other people’s opinions of his activities, and forge ahead. Their opinions never affected you to that degree.

The same applies to you in your work. Greater belief and trust in yourselves is necessary, and it is for this reason that you must ruthlessly cut out all other demands. These are also the roads Ruburt was afraid to go ahead in, and was holding back.

He now realizes that growth cannot be held back. Now later, but not in a distant future, your nap periods will be utilized for joint out-of-body work. The further developments latent since our sessions, are now ready to proceed. The feeling of accomplishment and peace will give you a feeling of greater time available within your daily framework. And as soon as the (Xmas) tree is removed, the badminton.

Now the two of you are growing together in new ways, in which your individual aspects are enhanced. But through this, or because of it, a greater joint energy becomes possible in which all the abilities of your consciousnesses expand. It will be a most illuminating year. Give us a moment.
