Now because neither of you wanted children, his books were considered part of his wifely duty; substitutes, he felt, that were better than the originals. He felt, then, that he could produce far better books than he could children. Your sexual lives, despite what you may jointly think, did not suffer on the level in which both of you were working at one time. You were each agreeable to pouring sexual energy into your work.

There is no one with a great talent who does not use it, for the drive is comparable to the talent, and the whole personality knows about it as the flower knows about blossoms. The writer cannot grow at the expense of the person, for the writer springs out of the person, and not the other way around. The person is a writer. There can be no writer without a person. An artist is free to use his ability as far as his person is free. The writer cannot survive without the survival of the person. The writer’s or the artist’s intuitions, sensibilities, inspirations come through his person, through his experiences and temperament. There are no divisions. There is one self.

To the extent that a person grows wholly, his abilities grow. This does not mean that the person cannot make conscious decisions as to areas in which he will concentrate his energy. It does mean that he cannot sacrifice himself to one portion of himself, or he will lose even that portion.

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.
