“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(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.

All of this information should help accelerate his improvements. It is significant that he has of late felt like standing unsupported, even if only briefly, for this means that he is beginning to sense a point of balance. He should encourage those impulses whenever possible, of standing unaided, even if the time is brief.
