“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.

Now these are psychological manipulations, but manipulations that work. You must also realize that I must deal with you as you think you are—that is, with both of you, and for that matter with the world at large. In my greater viewpoint I see your lives—many of them, and the emergence of overall patterns of achievement and challenge, and I hope that you will progress to your own visions of such realities—at least in dreams, for they will sustain you.

(“Why has he waited so long to resume work on Mass Reality?”)

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.
