“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

At the same time, because of it, and because of his love for you, Ruburt tried to be the good wife by relating to you in the way he thought you wanted him to—as a writer. To be too womanly might bring about the catastrophe of childbirth, and in the terms in which you both operated once, destroy you as artists.

Ruburt felt it was wrong to do anything but write. He felt this also in his relationship with you—that he could serve you best by writing and cutting out all other activities. When he had his last series of excellent improvements, he paid attention to the sessions I gave him on his ideas of work. He cannot smother the person and cultivate the flower of his talent. What he had achieved as a writer and as a psychic has been achieved despite his methods—not because of them.

Now, because of his love for you, and your seniority, this time (smile), he tried to copy you; and temperamentally, while you are more alike than you realize, you are quite different also. Your methods are not necessarily natural to him. This must be clearly recognized.

Putting “chores” off is perfectly fine. Rising early is also. Giving yourselves time in which to create is excellent. It gives a framework, but frameworks are to be used. Ruburt allows a framework to use him. In one session—he remembers it—I told him to write for three hours daily. When he did so he not only produced excellent work on Aspects, but frequently felt the urge to write more. He also improved physically, rather dramatically.

His latest experiments (with out-of-bodies, dreams, etc.) are excellent, and led him back to himself. For “the writer” ideas, carried to extremes, would even have gobbled the dream work, where both are one.
