“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Each person or act has his or its “proper stance,” or platform of intention from which to operate. There are healers, for example, who respond primarily to the needs of others. In the nonpsychic arena these correspond with your doctors and nurses and even to, say, social reformers. The framework is an excellent one for those who find it a natural extension of inner intent. It deals with utility, function, need, and the “righting of wrongs.”

Beyond that platform (which is not your own native one) is another that operates as “high art,” in which activity is for its own sake, for the joy and discovery of the performance or execution, a high play that sets the needs of the world at least momentarily aside, rises up above specifics into those vaster realms from which specifics emerge.

You’ve been largely operating from a base that isn’t naturally yours but was taken on as a result of your sympathy for the world and for the problems of others. But that base doesn’t provide the kind of springboard or the thrust you need or your abilities require. It’s as if, at usual levels, you tried to be a doctor instead of a writer. At psychic levels, the qualities you need for sessions and your own work do not mesh with the overriding need to help others. You need the free joy of performance. Then, helping others follows naturally as your work helps others help themselves. In fact this is the only true kind of help.
