(“Impulses have a life-serving, life-promoting, creative basis, and possess a spontaneous order—though as we will see, that order may not be immediately apparent since the orderly pattern is larger than our conscious span of events.”

(“If you listen to your impulses and keep them clear—each one [in your sequence] will clear your path further. You both did wonder about the Silence Gallery affair, and decided not to mention it [to Jim Poett]. The call [which was action, a creative synthesis of your joint feelings], gave you information you didn’t have before—that The Voice [as an entity] knew of the Silence Gallery in a confused way. This means you can mention it and insist that they not be mentioned. It also means that you have additional knowledge to use in making your decision [about the interview].”

Original thinkers, creative innovators, often have their difficulties with their fellow men, even if their careers are backed up by academic credentials, organizations, or whatever. Again, Ruburt has none of those frameworks. He was also to some extent blighted by those same errors that our material is trying to correct, as each person is to some extent in your world.

(10:25.) Give us a moment.... Briefly: Ruburt has always felt the strength of his abilities, even before he recognized consciously the areas into which they would lead him. From many sources—literature, psychology, religion, biography, he felt that creative or artistic people, those highly gifted, were persecuted by others, hunted down, misunderstood, and poorly equipped to deal with the social world. On the other hand, he felt that they were beset by errant impulses, extravagant, destructive behavior, the taking of drugs, overindulgence in alcohol, or even by suicidal tendencies.

Such gifts he felt were quite odd presents indeed from the gods. Those who possessed such gifts knew it at once, but they must walk a cautious path while still allowing the abilities expression and insuring their development. The ideas about the creative personality are erroneous. They seem to be factual only in periods when the goals of a society do not fully include the arts or philosophies in the larger organizational structure of the community.
