“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This afternoon Jane did her exercises on the bed as usual. Relaxing for her nap afterward, she asked for a message from her creative, spontaneous inner self, the part that keeps her body alive and gives her life meaning and inspiration. Then she fell asleep. Later, when she was getting supper, she realized suddenly that she’d had an experience after all, that “something had happened while I was asleep, and I was delighted with it while I was asleep.” She couldn’t recall any details, however. I suggested Seth discuss the experience tonight.

(Amused:) I often break off book dictation also at certain times to help relieve Ruburt of feelings of responsibility, when he thinks that he should have book sessions because of the responsible work involved. Poetry, painting, and out-of-bodies are quite as much a part of his “work” as anything else he does. To some extent all of this applies to you also.

(10:18.) Now: Ruburt’s body is responding far more than either of you presently realize, and this is because in that regard Ruburt’s beliefs have been changing at a fast rate. Here the ideas of responsibility also have some application. He does not have a responsibility to sit constantly at his table, as if creative ideas could only find him there. This does not mean, again, that there is anything wrong with his sitting at his table five hours steadily if he wants to, but that he must loosen his beliefs about work and responsibility.
