“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(2. I found myself wondering if my own attitudes might have strongly influenced Jane’s early psychic behavior in ways neither of us suspected—that she may have inhibited certain elements of her abilities because she feared my own ideas about distractions, time, failure, etc. Perhaps, Jane had wanted more physical and psychic activity all along, I thought—more tours, TV, publicity, fame, money, whatever—but all those things she held back on because of my own negative attitudes. I speculated about whether her sitting on such desires, not daring to admit them, say, might have surfaced as fear of scorn and criticism, and so forth. If such factors operated, they’d be the opposite of those we usually hold accountable. I do know that Jane has the abilities to perform all of those activities, and this almost idle realization recently may have triggered the more concrete question.

Mysticism itself involves, basically, encounters with the art of being—a kind of creativity that in usual terms may produce no product at all, creative or otherwise. Such experiences may be translated into poetry or art or whatever, but initially they involve a spiritual encounter with reality. This encounter promotes a heightened state of creativity, even though, again, a creative product per se may not show.
