“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt may suddenly have an idea for a book. He wants to write it. In physical terms that book is not before his eyes. It has not been written, it has not been published. The evidence says physically that there is no such book. It is not a part of the world’s physical evidence. The idea for the book may come from a dream, or in that state of creativity where dreams reach toward physical actualization. Now Ruburt could say “I cannot write that book, or wonder how many pages it might have,” or think of the endless impediments that might prevent the book from being written. Instead, he simply ignores the physical evidence of the book’s absence, and creatively begins to write.

I want you both to look at Ruburt’s physical condition in the light of what I have just said about creativity always contradicting the evidence to some degree. In your works, you both automatically have the courage, the daring, to allow creativity its way. To some extent, however, you are both still hypnotized by the evidence of Ruburt’s condition—where instead it should be used as a jumping-off board, as a gap to be filled with reality (emphatically). When you create you dream. Creativity, again, thrives on dreaming, and dreaming serves as a conduit for Framework 2’s activity. You do not concentrate on what stands in your way. You do not imagine impediments.

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. (Pause.) For another thing, this allows a breakup of certain mental and physical habits—a gentle shock to the mental and physical systems that allows for beneficial change. 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.

(Pause.) There is an exercise Ruburt read that will help here, where one imagines the eyes sinking backward into the head. It is in a book of his. If you really learned to trust Framework 2, you would set your goals there, and trust that they would be as creatively manifested as your books or paintings. (Whispering:) The same applies to the production, the physical production, of the physical books at Prentice, or to sales.
