“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Through his art, Ruburt never had that sense of fitting with the times, or of receiving its ordinary recognition. In any of these discussions, however, remember I am specifying certain important points, for there are, again, many realities. In terms of mental, philosophic, esthetic, and artistic terms, however, you each decided to go ahead even if it meant leaving your times behind.

They want to keep Clark Kent and Superman entirely separate on a mental, psychical, and physical basis, and only in the terms of our analogy, and in line with our discussion, I become a supersoul rather than superman. They do not want my authority questioned. For one thing, they are tired of questioning. They think that if they had their own supersoul they would have far better sense than Ruburt, and they would use me as if I were a magic genie. They are afraid Ruburt might go too far, and question me out of existence, for they do not understand that Ruburt’s questions, and your own, your sense of integrity, are partially responsible for a “superman” rather than a supermouse.

Often you are reacting to implied threats—either those you imagine in the future or remember from the past, so that you do not take the necessary comfort in the sense data of any given moment. You do not let your organism suitably relax enough in the moments of safety that the body requires. The imagined threats then cut down your feelings of security, adding anxieties for which the sense perceptions can directly find no reason.

You imagine what might happen to future books. You do not suitably live in the present. This does not mean you need wear blinders—but when you are not suitably reacting to the validity of the present and immediate sense data, then to some extent you are putting on blinders of a different kind.
