“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(9:13.) In deeper terms creativity springs from what could legitimately be called wasteful action (intently). The rich unconscious is wasteful in those terms, since it seems to you that it contains memories and sensations that are not used in practical everyday life.

Nature deals with abundance, in which there is no waste. Your life rests secure on top of numberless probabilities, but those probabilities, though not realized by you, are not wasted. When you try to tie a great talent down to a practical end like “making a living,” then you are wasteful (forcefully).

Only in creative play does great “work” emerge. Only from exuberant impracticality do any so-called practical inventions come. The creative mind and spirit transforms the “waste” that others would disdain. It rises above all practicality into those greater realms of emotional and spiritual abundance that gives birth to all worlds.

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.”

(10:12.) Deep friendships are out, for they are not practical. They would take time and energy that should be devoted to work. Now no one is saying— me least of all—that you forget ideas of needed solitude. There is little worry that either of you will do that (emphatically). Yet there can be danger that you forget that creative time can produce in an hour magic creations that ten hours of frightened, enforced time can never do—and that a moment’s inspiration in a bar, or with company, or on a walk in the park can bring forth world-changing theories that no amount of fearful economy of time will ever deliver.
