“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Once more, Jane wasn’t comfortable in her chair as she prepared for the session at 9 PM. “It’s really weird to be so unambitious,” she said as she tried to get settled. She’d done some excellent notes for her third essay for her book of poetry today, though she hadn’t worked at it as much as in other recent days. She’d also slept several hours today, though as usual after laying down for a short time her arms and legs became very sore. She’d soon wakened from that first delicious snoring.

(Pause.) Now you have always from childhood drawn or painted, and in that regard there has been that constant interest. You looked out at the world through the eyes of a painter—but it was more than a painter’s world you saw (a great line, as Jane said). You were also always interested in writing. At times you expect from yourself a kind of accomplishment that the first kind of artist might produce, without any due regard for the fact that you are your own person, that you possessed a love of words as well, that you had excellent critical capacities.

(Pause at 9:35.) Such ideas, then, prevent you from enjoying your own accomplishments, as you should more properly do, and from enjoying their growth through time, from the background that was your own. The same applies to Ruburt.

(Pause at 9:58.) There are considerable freedoms available to you that you ignore because your connections with those idealized images governs some of your joint reactions. I will discuss some of those at a later time.

This will be a brief session, and unless you have other comments I will try to answer two or three of your questions at a time in the sessions immediately following.
