“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Give us a moment.... The library should be continued, and your private periods, for again these are vastly advantageous—and I might say, to you both.

Give us a moment.... The creative artist can be in somewhat of a quandary, according to his beliefs, for he wants to preserve the precious moment, the fleeting thought, the daffodils, the perceived insights. At the same time he often feels the need to stand apart from life, from the fleeting thoughts, the daffodils or the insight, so that he will not be lost completely in the moment, but able to form almost a second self with a larger viewpoint, who can then more clearly examine and understand the thought, the moment, or the insight.

Since you set yourselves such a course, then you obviously have a certain responsibility to both lives. They are your creations, after all. Almost all of Ruburt’s difficulty with time, and your own, spring from this basic quandary. For most people do not try that hard to preserve the living moment, or to understand it, while they are still involved with time’s physical package. Hence, to some extent your difficulties with “Unknown”—that is, with the notes—for you are trying to fit one dimension into another. A bold venture, and one that fits in quite will with your intents jointly to understand and preserve fleeting reality, and one that conflicts with your attempts to do this in the context of one physical time that passes.

(9:50.) Most artists, painters now, are lost, so to speak, in the moment or moments of the painting’s creation. The painting becomes the creation, and also it is the passing time of reality. Most artist, painters, do not feel the need, then, to “later” examine the moments of creativity themselves, nor to form still another subjective platform from which to examine the creative process.

Do not think of breaking it up into segments, but rather as the rhythmic flow of desired activities. You will want to paint, to prepare “Unknown.” Now painting is in one regard timeless, though it will flow into time. “Unknown” is timeless, yet it will flow into time. Yard work is not timeless. It can be a joyful exercise of the body, the natural life being reinforced, and it can also provide feelings of timelessness, so that in that regard your love of timelessness can be combined with your love of the moment.

(10:13.) Give me a moment, since I have your list also in mind (humorously).
