“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(1. Does Jane’s inherently mystical nature give rise to conflicts with the non-mystical world she finds herself in this time around? She may be so different in basic ways from most of her fellow human beings that conflicts may be almost inevitable—at least until later in life, when the personality has learned what the situation is and can make adjustments. Jane said that she never thinks of mysticism, herself, yet I think such factors could operate easily enough in our world. My question is based upon the environment and situations she found herself in as she grew—not upon any questions about why she chose such circumstances in this life to begin with.

(10:20.) The creative self, however, is not nearly as specific in nature as Ruburt once thought, when he considered himself a writer only. The attributes of the creative self are those of the personality, so that these attributes cannot be accepted under certain conditions and repressed otherwise, without difficulties resulting.

Ruburt always did realize he was quite different from other people. The initiation of psychic experience deepened that feeling. You both felt he must be very careful. To be creative in Ruburt’s particular way, you need a variety of characteristics that will allow you to probe alone into the nature of your own experience, and yet abilities that will also help you relate to the world—and Ruburt has those necessary abilities. He believed, however, that one set was opposed to the other. Therefore, to keep things orderly, one set would have to go. This is very simply put for now.

Add to your question, to read before our next session, the implications of private creativity and public distribution of creative work. I will also have something to say about Ruburt’s own insights involving the secret aspects of his nature.

(10:35.) Give us a moment.... There are, as Ruburt supposed, learned patterns superimposed upon his basic nature. This is of course natural with each personality. The creative self, however, left alone, and being in a Framework 2 reference, will take all aspects of life into consideration. It lights up all aspects of life. When Ruburt hampers it by trying to make it too specific, and ties it into distorted ideas of work, then divisions occur that need not occur.
