“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I am right—meaning in accord with my own nature—when I “forget” each book as it is done... Basically the creative play exploration, writing, is the main core of my creativity—and I do that for the love of doing it. I am“lucky” that the books sell, and that does mean that the world does accept “my work” to a certain important degree. But basically creativity is not a career in usual terms. It cannot be treated like a lawyer’s career or a scientist’s or whatever. When I started doing this, I aroused the protective elements—the conservative elements—of my personality... which immediately wanted approval for my books—not that I shouldn’t want approval per se but that I began to demand that my art provide all my needs; to financially support me, to give me honor among my fellows, a sense of belonging, etc. Now this can be expected to some degree for a noncreative career; but it can damage creative activity; the need for creativity naturally is... the creation of something new that disrupts the conservative principles; and that freedom is paramount. If you confuse the issues you try to temper your creativity (to gain approval, etc.) which can dilute the work; or you set up protective measures to protect yourself against the worlds disapproval or scorn.

(Then to read a session he gave about... asking yourself how many actual people I’ve met who scorned me... or hated me or tried to physically attack me... and to remind myself and the subconscious about responding to actual experience...remind it also that its experiences with scorn or whatever, as written down—were not all of its experience by a long shot. There were people like Blanche Price or even Father Trainor. It’s important that I find and read those sessions.
