“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt “works” intuitively. The results appear quickly sometimes effortlessly. He uses a different kind of organization. That organization is holistic, so that it deals with large issues. He begins there, and the details necessary fall into place. You might quite properly say that much “work” is involved, but it is of an interior, concentrated, intent and largely invisible nature. Often only the results show.

I have given information on this before, but you settled upon the idea of work, as you think of it, because it was the only way at the time that you could justify art to yourself. Naturally, however, your working method is different, and is built up of an intricate series of quite complicated logical judgements involving spatial relationships—in for example particular kinds of immaculate gradations. I am speaking of your painting now.

Inspiration, however, is not predictable. The fact that these sessions are predictable says much, however, for the longstanding nature of such unpredictable events.

You were quick to intuitively understand the nature of such inspiration. You were quick to nourish it. You helped give it form, so you do understand inspiration. It is not a luxury, but the nature that sustains each individual and the world. Ruburt has more than appreciated your support, and in fact you have indeed inspired him, so your conversation earlier upset him considerably.

The world thinks that inspiration is impractical, and you have both made unfortunate distinctions between inspiration and work. You can afford to do so more than Ruburt, since your natural working method falls more easily into that kind of context, where the effort shows in time. Ruburt cannot afford such distinctions.
