“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

To some extent or another you chose abilities ahead of time that would at least partially meet conflict with the society in which you were born. Your abilities as an artist, for example, were not those relished by mothers in their male offspring. They were not considered beneficial in themselves—but only if they could be practically used as a way of making a living. The creativity implied was beside the point.

(10:24.) Your home is the result of your joint successes, and intuitive successes. There was work involved in the typing of manuscripts, hours spent, but the success itself was the result of your individual and joint intuitive creativity, curiosity, your sense of challenge and more adventure.

Your lives, like everyone’s, have rhythms. Ruburt’s creative life follows rhythms in which he produces excellent works usually in great bursts of activity—then a quiet period. You work in more measured patterns, and this is largely responsible for your individual and joint feelings over “Unknown” Reality.

This has caused some conflict between you. Measured work of that nature is very difficult for Ruburt—hence the typing, for example of manuscripts, such as mine, that he cannot change as he goes along, is very difficult. When he types his own work he makes creative changes.

There is more in this session than you realize, if you put it together, for the creative abilities are themselves creative, spontaneous, exuberant, by their nature unpredictable.

2.) Three times a week, hot towels should be applied to the knees, and this will help his legs—but also clear up his head. I am not going into the physical reasons here, but this will be most beneficial. There is nothing wrong with his eyes. There has been tension on the muscles. Physically, the hot towels on the knees will benefit that condition. Otherwise, it was because he did not want to type up my book. Creatively, now, he is always interested in the new book—the current creative act, and he resented feeling that he had to type Psyche while not having current sessions. The eye condition resulted.

If during that time nothing in particular comes, then let him sketch, for the sketching reinforces playful creativity. He can then type an hour on a manuscript. I want him to concentrate upon his ideas, theories rather than think in terms of work.
