“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Before, earlier, there was a third concern—a financial one, but he did not come across those journals this evening. The two main concerns then instantly caught his attention. He did not see, however, the difference in his approach to those concerns—and in that difference lies the difference in results.

In his other main concern, “getting better,” he looks back upon past failures, and projects impediments into the future. In other words, his approach to these two main concerns is quite different—one opposite the other.

He creates impediments then as in the other area he creates success. To a lesser extent this applies to your own approach also. Creativity is involved. Let us look then at the third area, for at one time you both also to some extent imagined impediments, changed your approach, and found new results. That area is the financial one, that indeed does now seem to come with an almost magical ease.

You changed your approaches indirectly, and Ruburt was always stronger in the financial regard than you, as far as his beliefs that artistic creations could bring financial rewards. You believed that commercial art could give financial results, but not necessarily good writing, or good art.
