“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In that system he saw you nearly ten years older than he, and in those terms unsatisfied; so he must work all the harder against time, and cut out everything else. In that system, as he developed it, there was no time for leisurely meals, showers, shopping trips or mundane enjoyments—only the work was important. Only it would survive. The day in which it was produced would vanish and be nothing—only the work would survive as a monument. The trivialities and moods, the feelings of morning and twilight would be extinguished—so he thought as you told him, and so against many of his natural instincts he tried to obey.

At the same “time” his body kept trying to assert its privileges and natural life, but he saw it as a tool to work. He understands now a good deal of this, but I want to put it in form for him. Even his writing time therefore became frenzied. He did not live in the moment, or know his body’s present reality. Sensations and impulse were deadened, unless they could be translated into “work.”

Now: all of Ruburt’s presently-past beliefs added up to his physical condition—his beliefs in the nature of time, work, the body, his particular nature—they all tied in together perfectly.

He still does not completely understand the nature of what he calls Sumari time, in relationship with inspiration. This concept is extremely valuable however, in freeing him from old time ideas.
