“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

“It” simply represents certain attitudes and beliefs that you possess, or that Ruburt possesses. They mix and merge with your other beliefs and ideas, and color your actions. When I speak so, I am isolating a certain portion of your subjective reality, and labeling it for convenience. “It” never really goes against your wishes. If Ruburt’s main goals in work, for example, had directly involved and mainly concerned immediate contact with others, through university work or whatever, his mobility would not have been tampered with.

A man who makes shoes may see his customers, but he will not know what roads his customers walk in his shoes—and you cannot know the mental and psychic changes for the better that the books are making in parents and their children. When you disapprove of yourselves, such factors escape you entirely, or become lost in other worries.

(A note: Seth’s material reminded me of his comments in the deleted 371st session for October 11, 1967. I read it last night; Seth answered my questions about what he sees when he looks at me, both as himself, and through Jane’s eyes. Very interesting, and material both of us had forgotten many years ago.)

The answer to that is simple. You both insist upon applying quite intellectual concepts to creative work, and ignoring Ruburt’s natural rhythms. He works in great bursts of activity, but instead of understanding this, and trusting the quiet periods and the creative self, he is up in arms. The creative self is playful and spontaneous. It follows his natural rhythms. The fear of not producing, however, can inhibit his productivity, and wear him out with worry.

I suggest that each day he write what comes to mind for a while, for his next book is here as surely as the past ones are.

(I raised a hand before Seth could slip away. “How about his dream last night? Did he remember enough of it to interpret it correctly?”

Ruburt did an excellent job with that, and the dream also shows that so-called unconscious material will come to the surface of the mind when it is requested. Those beliefs, however, were not really unconscious at all. His interpretation was correct.
