“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Our sessions began, really, as an extension, a natural enough development, the results of a personal search. Give us a moment.... I have given more material than I can say on the subject of Ruburt’s attitude toward creativity and what happens when he emphasizes the idea of work as work, or as a career, above his spontaneous creativity. I got my message through to some degree on several occasions for example, when his arms were suddenly free. It is the overemphasis upon work and career—overemphasis, now, that brings about or triggers the fears behind the difficulties.

When he is emphasizing his own creativity, encouraging it, encouraging its spontaneity, then that flow has its own impetus and direction. It is freeing spiritually and physically. That flow releases or incites solutions, and is overall, say, of itself fear-banishing.

The truth, as he interprets it, is no longer the joyful, curious, creative, free search for truth, let it lead where it will; but the idea of a life’s work makes him think “Who’s following me? My truth must be the real truth, for I do not want to lead others astray.”

In those circumstances, free creativity itself almost becomes suspect, for supposing his creativity turns up an element that is contradictory? Or again, that will be misinterpreted, that will be used “wrongly” by others? In that kind of a climate, both inner and outer worlds to some extent must be protected against. I have given material saying that most clearly on innumerable occasions.
