“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Though Ruburt was a good-looking young woman, with much vitality, he had no children, and indeed had been determined not to, for writing was the overwhelming interest in his life. He also needed love, however. Though you were in your thirties, you had not married, and your sex life was rather controlled. You both had at that point decided not to concentrate upon family life. You had furthermore decided, and separately, before you met, to avoid conventional long-term relationships in the world of business. Neither of you wanted conventional jobs, regardless now of any prestige or security they might bring. In that regard you saw yourselves as like spirits. You believed in the importance of developing your own abilities, because those abilities so naturally manifested themselves as strong elements of your personalities.

The creative abilities, of course, do not think of bodies-of-work. They create out of the joy and natural necessity to do so, and their productions also exist in a realm far too large to be so easily categorized.

I realize your predicament, so do not think I am being unfeeling; and yet, my dear friends, on other levels those failures were considered successes. You finally got it through your heads that something had to be done, and something is being done. In the process, you see, your views of life are changing, and that change is showing that your creative abilities, if expressed, will automatically allow you to express your natures—your natures—and will lead you into your most advantageous way of life.

Now: Ruburt felt that you were more naturally disposed toward solitude and so forth, discipline, more naturally opposed to distractions than he was.
