“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Again, his condition does represent the one area where both of you have felt cowed, often hopeless, and as if your abilities worked in all directions but that one. The important point is, that that area was the one area in which you did not use those abilities—nor should either of you spend time bemoaning what has happened, or dwelling upon “what people can do to themselves.” This is not only waste of time, but it adversely affects your creativity, and that frame of mind will never generate solutions, but only further difficulties in any area (emphatically).

You wondered in the secret depths of your mind how well-suited Ruburt was for the solitude you believed necessary to produce good work. You intend, both of you, having the cat fixed, so he will not be frustrated inside. Ruburt fixed himself, and fixed it so he could not go outside—because, according to your joint overall attitudes, you believed you must isolate yourselves against the world.

The body can find no firm stance in such a situation, for the artificial conditions blot out the natural realities of any given day. It is the duty and challenge of the conscious mind to ascertain cultural reality—but cultural reality cannot supersede natural reality. Or you run into difficulty.

The shoddy, superficial, popular novelist is acclaimed. The original creator is scoffed at. Ruburt could not stand ridicule, and so took a proud retreat. He now understands that retreat denies the responsiveness natural to the body, mind, and spirit.

Unexpected visitors are something different entirely. For they require no conscious decisions on your part ahead of time. I am not saying that you should wait at all until Ruburt walks perfectly normally. The situation of attracting the people that you want, will come quite naturally as Ruburt feels more and more competent.
