“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(No session was held last night, as scheduled. The night had been very warm, and Jane had been bothered by the heat and humidity. She’d also been quite relaxed at times through the day, so I didn’t ask her for a session. It seems that we also got our signals crossed, for I learned today that she’d been ready for a session; but because I didn’t come out of the writing room and ask her if she wanted one, she thought I didn’t want one....

(But at about 9 PM this evening Jane surprised me by suggesting a brief session. It was just as warm tonight. All our doors and most windows were open because of the heat, yet when Jane went into trance her delivery was quite energetic, almost fast, and at times very emphatic. Without greetings, then:)

If you think that it is your personal responsibility alone to change the world, then you are always bound to feel a burdening sense of failure. The world is being changed through our work—but because that work is primarily a creative endeavor in the fullest, deepest meaning, now, of the word creative. When you hold the attitude I have mentioned, however, you begin to insist upon immediate creative results in the way that the shoemaker does, again—and again, we are not making shoes.

(Seth referred to Greg, a young man who arrived here yesterday afternoon in a taxi. and carrying a box of a dozen long-stemmed carnations of four colors. The taxi waited, since he could stay but a few minutes before taking a bus out of town. Greg simply wanted to say thanks for the work Jane is doing, with my help. [He knows Barb and Jack Ebright—now separated—of Colorado Springs, Colorado.])

(Pause.) Our books are read also more often that it seems, for they are borrowed from others, and from libraries, by people who would not buy them in a store—not for financial reasons necessarily. The letter in any case made him think in terms of responsibility again, but this session should set him right.

Some of this is difficult to explain, but as the world of appearances presents its own evidence, on the level of sense, so your inner reality presents as strong evidence of its reality. But that evidence remains largely invisible, because you have not trained yourselves sufficiently to be alert to those manifestations. You do have a telepathic interplay between you of course, that escapes your notice. There are connections in the same manner between you and your animals and the trees in your yard.
