“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane’s physical improvements continue to take place at a slow pace. Recently there have been noticeable changes for the better in both of her hands, although each one works differently. Earlier today I’d voiced the hope that Seth could give some material on Jane’s eyes, which haven’t progressed as much as we’d like. At the same time, Jane told me that there’s been an improvement in her color perception, even with the double vision.

To some degree, creativity always involves a denial of life’s daily official evidence, for creativity deals with that which you are about to bring into being. You are quite aware of the absence which you intend to fill. Period. This applies obviously in the case of inventions. Creativity involves productive change.

It would therefore be highly limiting for me to deliver our material in such a way that I emphasized those matters in which science might agree with my material. In your society people have been taught in many areas that change can only lead to a deterioration, and this seems to have a scientific justification. Creativity thrives on change, however.

Ruburt has done well, following impulses, and the altered sleep patterns have indeed been beneficial; for his body, to compensate for the lack of normal steady motion, wanted the extra activity.

Some years ago, just before you took on the second apartment, Ruburt complained in his journal that it seems as if the day was gray, or that color had fled the world. His condition had bothered his eyes then, and they recuperated over a period of time.

It is as if, now, the mental atmosphere was clearer—and you would find ideas flowing into your mind in those hours also, particularly with that playfully, now, in mind. I am not saying that you should make the nighttime hours your own official ones, but they do provide creativity with an additional ease, along with the changes in official patterns. End of session.
