“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] (Pause.) The source for all of this creativity springs from your own inner identity, which is never completely materialized in flesh, and so you always have unused portions of creativity at your command. [...]

I will have quite a bit to say in this book concerning the creative and healing nature of dreams, and the easy methods that can be used to help you utilize those conditions more effectively. [...]

[...] I will try later to explain the deep interweaving that exists between dreams, creativity, and the nature of the reality of your experience.

[...] Yet the conscious mind arose precisely to open up choices, to free you from a one-road experience, to let you use your creativity to form diversified, varied comprehensions.

Now: While consciousness enjoys its physical orientation, it is also too creative to confine its activities in one direction. Dreams provide consciousness with its own creative play, therefore, when it need not be so practical or so “mundane,” allowing it to use its innate characteristics more freely.

[...] The left hemisphere, being more analytical and intellectual, would have dreams embodying those qualities; the more creative right hemisphere would have dreams involving symbols, the arts, and the emotions.

[...] Such dreams are representative of the great creativity of consciousness, and hint of its ability to carry on more than one line of experience at one time without losing track of itself.

The feel and practice of these exercises are their important points — the manipulation of a creative consciousness. [...]

[...] You trust the creative process in art. [...] It seems you cannot trust the creative abilities’ biological translations—but the body is certainly as creative as the mind, in those terms. Whenever the two of you manage to free your creative abilities, and set them to work on the physical situation, you do see some results.

[...] The only hint I can give you for your benefit is one, again, that I have given you often before: try to imagine Ruburt’s complete recovery as a creative endeavor—a creative venture, in which all kinds of inner events occur even before, and way before, the completed picture shows itself.

[...] The creative work was expected not only to be creative, imaginative, intuitive, to contain the highest elements of conceptual thought, but must also be capable of solving the most concrete physical problem, tuned with some magical tuning fork so that it could serve almost any purpose required of it. [...]

[...] For even though it was seemingly somewhat isolated or cut off from the personality’s creative processes, as well as from many current events and ideas, still it had that power to so drastically influence the physical body. [...]

[...] If he had not, he would not have done any of his creative work, and in the light of his background his achievements become even more outstanding. [...]

[...] He is beginning to move ahead again creatively, which will also be physically reflected. [...]

You do exist consciously in a coherent, purposeful creative state while the physical body sleeps, however, and you carry on many of the activities that I told you would be encountered after death. [...]

[...] It is very difficult to admit that you are in many ways more effective and creative in the sleep state than the waking state, and somewhat shattering to admit that the dream body can indeed fly, defying both time and space. [...]

[...] The vitality, force, life, and creativity behind your physical existence is generated in this other dimension. [...]

[...] So you can say that certain portions of it deal with physical reality, physical manipulation, and plans; some with deeper levels of creativity and achievement that insure physical survival; some with communication, with even more extensive elements of the personality now generally unknown; some with the continuing experience and existence of what you may call the soul or overall individual entity, the true multidimensional self.

(Long pause.) Too-literal translations of such material often lead to grief, and the creative thrust becomes lost. [...] (repeated at my question) his religions, and in the power of the creative abilities themselves that bring them into birth (all quite intently). [...]

[...] You must understand man’s need and capacity for fulfillment, dramatization, and psychic creativity.

In those terms, however, again, the gods of Olympus were as real, for all of men’s riches are representations, psychic dramatizations, standing for an inner reality that cannot be literally expressed or described — but can be creatively expressed or represented.

[...] Ruburt is, as you know, highly creative. [...] They do not think of themselves as products of their own creativity. Because of Ruburt’s energy and creativity, he has always perfectly mirrored and even somewhat exaggerated the condition of the inner self, its activities and inner postures.

[...] The idea of napping evocatively brings it to mind in less severe form, so that a nap was not a creative refreshing time, but a cop-out. [...]

[...] Very simply, delta brain waves are connected with dreamless sleep, theta with creativity and dreams, alpha with a relaxed alertness and changing consciousness; beta — the fastest — with concentration, and with an intense focus upon all of the challenges [and anxieties and stresses, many would say] faced in the ordinary daily world.

(We read that in ordinary terms highly creative people [like Jane] usually generate large amounts of theta and low-alpha waves pretty constantly while doing their thing. [...]

A kind of inverted beta pattern, difficult to describe, often appears suddenly in the midst of the other ranges, driving through them, accelerating consciousness to a high degree of creativity. [...]

[...] Here, in a highly creative, disciplined, and yet spontaneous performance, a situation is set up in which knowledge is obtained from the known frequencies, combined so that consciousness can use itself more fully, reaching into many areas closed to one range of consciousness alone. [...]

[...] The feeling of creative pleasure as he paints, and follows the impulse, relieves his mind, takes it off his body, and automatically regenerates other creative impulses. [...]

You might add very briefly to that material, one or two suggestions following what you have—that stress expression: “Do I feel safe to express physical vitality?” Or questions as to whether or not Ruburt and his “subconscious” feel safe enough to progress, generally speaking, into an area of psychic, creative, and physical expression.

[...] Creatively, you have already made certain decisions that you are keeping from yourself, in terms of a book of your own in the future.

The same applies to you, and I expect both of you, in the last halves of your lives, to demonstrate the bursts of creativity and new wisdom that should ideally appear in each life. [...]

[...] You have done well there, for the yard work is helping, and the change will naturally bring your creativity to flower if you leave yourself alone. [...]

[...] A point: I told you that the sessions must be fun—that is, creative, exploratory, and as free as possible – and, I add, not only for you but for me as well. [...]

[...] There will also be money coming to you from an unexpected area, but as an offshoot of your creativity.

[...] So utilize those (underlined) characteristics creatively and openly and unashamed, by actively encouraging him to go out, as today.

[...] He has learned enough creatively so that our important messages can de given in many ways.

[...] They rarely pretend to be themselves creative—yet all publishers, and people who work for them, are also intrigued by the products of creativity, and at least to some degree, being well reimbursed, they do indeed use their quite different abilities to distribute the creative products that they could not themselves initiate. [...]

[...] The creator’s feeling toward his creative product—or hers—largely determines its development, its progress, its distribution, and so forth.

(9:56.) A note: Ruburt has felt oddly, since his body has been creatively changing, both the head and eye areas, neck and knees. [...]

[...] Both of you try—try (whispering) to disconnect your creative work from the practical considerations of contracts, and have Ruburt play with his own book. [...]

I want you to encourage his bodily relaxation in the same manner, creatively. You do not take chances, creatively or any other way, unless you allow your curiosity and exuberance some free play.

[...] There are compensating, creative earth patterns occurring in terms of energy, but these do not show.

[...] In terms of probability, he took a new probable road, which means that his individual impact upon the world, and everyone he meets, will also be different and more creative than it would have been before.

[...] Those ideas, mentioned earlier, even inhibit the free creative flow of our books into the world to some extent, for you do not have as clear a channel as possible.

[...] Creativity is allowed to flow only through certain highly limited, accepted channels.

[...] To them are assigned creative musical abilities, for example, but for a long time these were “underground” activities: They gave birth to acceptable musical productions but were not admitted themselves into the concert halls of the respectable nation.

[...] When this is carried to an extreme you wind up with devil cults, in which the poorly understood powers of creativity and exuberance rush out in distorted form; the undersides of consciousness are then glorified at the expense of the other, white, “conscious and objective” values.

[...] Both the conscious and unconscious would operate far more effectively, however, under an abbreviated sleeping program, and for those involved in “creative” endeavors this kind of schedule would bring greater intuition and applied knowledge.

[...]

[...]

[...] Creative ‘Destruction.’ The Length of the Day and the Natural Reach of a Biologically-Based Consciousness.”

Here you can find individuals of great energy; of unstable, “excessively” temperamental natures, and with intense capacities for creativity and innovation. [...]

[...] This provided the necessary stabilizing properties upon which your consciousness could play, and through which it could effectively and creatively operate. [...]

[...] Quite awesome creative abilities on our part, I’d say, and ones that unknowingly we take for granted. [...]

The universe is the natural extension of divine creativity and intent, lovingly formed from the inside out (underlined)—so there was consciousness before there was matter, and not the other way around.

[...] In the terms of your earthly experience, it is a metaphysical, a scientific, and a creative error to separate matter from consciousness, for consciousness materializes itself as matter in physical life.

[...] In your terms the magnetic fields themselves fluctuated—but all of the species were there at the beginning, though in the same fashion, for as the dream world broke through into physical reality there was all of the tumultuous excitement and confusion with which a mass creative event is achieved. [...]

[...] You both had exaggerated ideas, or distorted ones, about the nature of creativity, and about people who were creative, and you considered yourselves rightly as creative people.

Ruburt knew that spontaneity was the basis of his creativity, and of anyone else’s. To that extent you disapproved of it. [...]

[...] He found himself at that age not having as yet produced what he thought he should; because of other reasons given earlier he wanted that creativity to pay financially.

Creativity rides the tides of love. When love is denied its natural expression, creativity suffers. [...]

Individual inclinations toward creativity often emerge in a strong fashion in adolescence. [...] The creative expression seems to be in direct contradiction to the sexual standards expected.

[...] Only a basic bisexuality could give the species the leeway necessary, and prevent stereotyped behavior of a kind that would hamper creativity and social commerce. [...]

[...] You will also be astounded at the amount of work that will be produced, and is now latently in production, now that he sees that he can be artistically creative in his terms, mix and match the psychic and the creative (dash)—designations. [...]

The psychic work will also enlarge his personal creative endeavors. This is affecting you, releasing your own creative energies, for his holding back in the past reinforced your own tendencies in that direction. [...]

[...] Our books bring in money, simply because money at your level of activity is a natural result of spontaneous creativity. Your paintings will bring in money when they are the result of spontaneous creativity. [...] His physical mobility will result from the body’s spontaneous creativity. [...]
