“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In your society talent, even genius, tries to ally itself, at least for a while, with your economic needs, for if the body does not eat the abilities will not survive. Left alone, the abilities will see to it that economic survival is achieved. It will see to abundance, and not in a self-serving manner but as a leaf seeks sunlight. Am I going too fast?

Ruburt has the same kind of challenges, and each of you have helped the other in portions of your lives together. There are balances that you achieve. Your help with the pendulum has many significances, therefore: you are taking the time out to help. Your active love comes to the forefront.

There is nothing strange in the fact that Ruburt begins to have sexual feelings as the muscles begin to feel toward flexibility (legs). His physical difficulty has involved then his ideas of economical action—the cutting out of waste. These ideas, again, are a part of the one line of consciousness that says “You have only so much energy and so much time. You must therefore ‘use’ time and energy well; practically you must not waste time or effort. If you have a purpose and you want to achieve it badly enough, then everything else must be sacrificed for it—because “time marches on.” “Time is money.”

It is foolish to say “Why does it take so much time to learn?” For each learning process is highly unique, and contains within it particular achievements that you yourself want; and these achievements not only rise above the difficulties, but in the greater view the steps are seen as steps “upward”—the individualized problems understood as the same kind of challenges you might set for yourself to conquer in a painting, or as part of the entire creative process.
