“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The material on the book just given is pertinent: you live in a safe universe. When you understand this then your actions are truly appropriate.

To some extent, then, you and Ruburt have been behaving as if the planets from Star Trek could appear in your living room. Your actions were not appropriate—Ruburt’s in particular. You did not know where the action was, so your idea about reality kept you in a state of fighting dragons. Your heart may beat faster and you can become very agitated watching certain television programs. When you believe that you dwell in an unsafe world your reactions are far more agitated.

I will have more to say about appropriate action. You have done very well, helping Ruburt with the bathroom difficulty. You have helped him, but also yourself. While you had no such problem, the difficulty stands for a fear of spontaneous action in an unsafe world.

When he is proficient with the bathroom routine, which you were very wise to begin, we will start some other simple new routines, one at a time, instilling appropriate body reaction to a safe universe. Ruburt’s actions were appropriate for the horror program, and so were some of yours when you were afraid of painting because it did not bring in money. Our books bring in money, simply because money at your level of activity is a natural result of spontaneous creativity. Your paintings will bring in money when they are the result of spontaneous creativity. Ruburt’s spontaneity escaped all of his “language,” in other words. His physical mobility will result from the body’s spontaneous creativity. He is not to walk normally because he should, any more than he should write “because he should.” He is a writing kind of being, and he is a walking kind of being.
