“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The reason for the difficulty with the muscles is so obvious that I am surprised you did not make the connections yourself. It is not the fact of the taxes so much that annoys you, as the uses of the taxes, for you resent “being forced” to contribute your money to what you think of as stupid national policies.

The nuclear power plants are connected in your mind. It seems not only as money taken from you, or from Ruburt, which annoys you more, since you think he worked so hard for it—but worst of all, the money is being spent to promote national stupidities of distorted beliefs, to which you are diametrically opposed.

The money is being achieved or accumulated as a result of your search for the ideal, so it appears twice as ironic to you that the funds for taxes be used to pursue national goals bent, it seems, upon the most gross, shortsightedly practical conditions. This is, if you will forgive the term, beautifully and cleverly connected in your mind with “Unknown” Reality—the book. Here again you find yourself often in a dilemma of your making, between the ideal and what seems to be; if not the grossly practical, something close to it.

(10:06.) Now: your money paid in taxes will go to support a system that, when all is said and done, presently, tries to support its citizens despite all its weaknesses and stupidities. It does, as Ruburt thinks often, support other poor but gifted youngsters, and poor and ungifted youngsters (with amusement). It preserves a quite necessary organization in which, overall, nationally at least, changes do occur for the better without massive disruptions.
