“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Pause.) The two of you, having no children, cannot count upon children to fulfill your dreams, as many do, or to accomplish what you do not accomplish, as many do. Your “work” is in a way like your marriage: it must satisfy an almost infinite number of requirements and demands (with humor). It must give you a sense of belonging, accomplishment, emotional support, at times exhilaration, be intellectually and emotionally satisfying, give you financial success, and some power in the world.

(Pause.) Your worth is in what you are. Anyone’s worth is in their own essence. That which you are will naturally produce acts or works of whatever kind. Your television news program (on ABC) is now producing a series about your nuclear power, and that of Russia. As in all such happenings, the worst probability is considered imaginatively, and steps taken in the physical world—using much energy and inventiveness—steps that are supposed to prevent this worst probability from occurring. Frightened people do not make wise decisions. In fact, they often take actions that inadvertently bring about the feared results, whatever the circumstances in the given case.

(Long pause.) You are, because you have chosen it, initiating a new way of life. You have made it work in many important fashions, and if you could stop disapproving of yourselves a moment, you could see that this is quite true. There is no reason to feel ashamed of Ruburt’s condition. (Pause.) You have a lifetime of beliefs behind you that you are in the process of discarding. The very creativity that surrounds you should be quite legitimate proof of the practical nature that results from our concepts.
