“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In one way or another, your creative abilities have always sustained you, at least with subconscious knowledge, and with a sense of the greater creative capacities always present within you. (Long pause.) You have always sensed more than you knew, both of you, so in that area Framework 2 has represented a natural affiliation with your conscious selves. You were creatively filled out by it.

Ruburt in his way felt in the same fashion. You both felt sure of yourselves, in that regard. In that regard. After that, Ruburt felt that he must protect his ability, guarding it against the world, and even against any other tendencies that he felt might run counter to his ability.

He wanted to protect himself against the “artistic temperament” as it is conventionally understood. He thought that body and mind were two different things, that the body must be controlled for the sake of the mind, that his consciousness existed apart—in his head, say—with its own abilities, while his body had its own pursuits as apart from his own.

His creative spontaneous self created the body to begin with, and all of its physical desires were precisely those that his creative abilities needed—a quickness of body and mind working together, a quick perception mentally and physically, a natural exhilaration that is supported by (underlined) the power, of his own nature.

I will have more to say about this on Wednesday evening. And in the meantime, make a habit yourself of asking, as you did this evening, about walking after dinner. If you understand what I am saying, then you will realize that basically your impulses will never betray you, but always add to your natural fulfillment, and that of your abilities; so have him, again, try to be more permissive in that regard. He is still afraid that his impulses will lead him away from “work” —where instead they provide the greater context from which the greater existence springs.
