“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now: you should reread Ruburt’s library material in the Cézanne book, on authority and creativity, for it is excellent.

You both grew up under certain authorities—the personal authority of the parents, and the greater authority—or Ruburt at least—of the church and state. For you, the church had little authority, but the state is vested with authority that must uphold the composite idea of reality generally held.

Ruburt dislikes authority. He lived under the authority of Welfare, as well as the church. That dislike was to serve as an impetus, as it did, but the adult should see—the adult Ruburt—that there is no authority in those terms. There is nothing to fight in those terms. The authorities are simply people doing their best to preserve a status quo—with which many are already dissatisfied. Their authority becomes a trap for them, for to preserve it they must keep themselves in ignorance.

Ruburt’s condition can change overnight, in literally dazzling improvements, if only the “authority” of Framework 1 is forgotten—as it is so often in your creative lives.
