“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The tax episode threw Ruburt into a quandary—not only because of the situation, but because you, he felt, felt so threatened that there was no joy in his royalty check. You have not, either of you, begun to appreciate your physically apparent financial abundance; and you refuse, to some extent, to take comfort from it, but instead concentrate upon high prices without being really consciously aware of the fact that you are able to meet them.

The more financially threatened he feels, the less free he feels to be creatively himself, and the more something like a book deadline gains in importance. You make a point, each of you, of concentrating upon your financial lacks, rather than your gains. You are not blind to your gains but you do not emphasize them.

You did very well, suggesting you eat out, and in some other areas, Joseph, and helped Ruburt several times lately in important ways. When he feels financially threatened, however, that is when he pulls in his horns, cuts down on creativity, and tries to do his “job.’’
