“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

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.

He must see that the writer’s freedom and ability is dependent upon his being a free person. Now those with strong talents are more aware than others of the power of energy. They have chosen to be so aware. Those involved deeply in any art are consciously or unconsciously working in a most intimate manner with the challenges of another kind of creativity. Through their art they see their beliefs and feelings translated into form. On that level they are studying the ways in which beliefs and feelings are translated into living reality. They are ready to deal with the joy and responsibility that others may not as yet understand, so it is easy enough to make errors. The creative abilities have a power that can be confusing, overprotected, or on the other hand run from. Ruburt was trying to do double duty—protecting his abilities and your own. If he remembers his instinctive feeling for nature he will know that he belongs outside as well as inside.
