“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Okay: I hope sometime to tell the entire story of my physical and creative challenges, which as of now of course is unfinished. [...] (Long pause.) In man’s desire to make creative adjustments, it often seems that instead he adds unfortunate blemishes to life’s vitality. [...]

[...] Such a procedure could have turned into a creative tragedy for us and for our readers.

[...] Both of you found it quite necessary to take a strong conscious, critical look at the material from the beginning, for your trainings told you, in the terms that you understood them, that the “subconscious” could be very misleading, though creative, and that therefore you must critically examine any intuitive productions that profess themselves to stand as truths rather than as creative fictions in your world.

He is himself a person who brought about a vital breakthrough in his own knowledge, an acceleration of creativity quite extraordinary, that led to these sessions, and these sessions have literally expanded the realities of many, many people. [...]

[...] That was some 18 months ago, but actually to one degree or another I’ve been involved with “Unknown” Reality for four years now; I think that temporarily I’ve simply grown tired and overly concerned about the whole project, even while I still have a considerable way to go to finish certain notes and appendixes for Volume 2. Not that I haven’t worked on a number of other things at the same time, of course — but my labors on those two books represent the prolonged, intense focus I always search for in my creative life, and without which I feel incomplete. [...]

[...] The reasoning of the inner ego is involved with the creative invention of those experiences. [...]

This will not be a dry, intellectual exploration, because the intent itself will begin to trigger within your lives the emergence of hints and clues as to your own immersion in Framework 2’s creativity.

[...] There is, I know, in heroic terms a love, a knowledge, a compassion, a creativity that can be assigned to All That Is, which is within each creature. I know that each smallest “particle” of consciousness can never be broken down, and that each contains an infinite capacity for creativity and development — and that each is innately blessed.

I hesitate in many instances to say what I might, because it is so easy to misinterpret meanings; but when you ask what is the purpose of consciousness you take it for granted there must be one purpose — where the greater truth and creativity must be that consciousness itself cannot be aware of all of its own purposes, but ever discovers its own nature through its own manifestations.

[...] The Creator is also within its creations, and the creations themselves are gifted with creativity.

[...] He is returning to activity at his creative, naturally therapeutic pace, no longer afraid that he is going too fast—or will—but shown only too clearly that activity and motion represent the only safe, sane, and creative response [to life’s challenges].

[...] He found a mixed world, one hardly black or white, one with some considerable give-and-take, in which under even the most regrettable of circumstances there was room for some action, some improvement, for some … creative response. [...]

[...] There are reasons—creative reasons—why she can’t walk now, or write in longhand. [...]

[...] Those goals ignite your creative powers and have (and still do) propelled you to explore all categories of existence possible, seeking to express those divine mysteries that lie within and behind each existence—yours, and mine as well.

You would make your creativity real, in sense terms. [...] He would keep it safely inside a “play” structure — not play necessarily in basic terms, but a structure in which he would work with models, cleverly, never applying his creative abilities in certain ways to a practical reality. [...]

[...] Mystical experience became acceptable only through poetry or art, where it was accepted as creative, but not real enough to get him into trouble, or to upset the “new” framework. [...]

[...] Those “new” abilities offered creative possibilities so apparent that, given our natures, we had little desire to do otherwise; beneath our doubts and questions we intuitively felt the rightness of our decisions. [...]

You began to feel, years later, as Ruburt did: that creativity was in its way dangerous, that it would lead you outside of accepted social structures, and definitely must be protected against normal family life.

(9:37.) Ruburt needs your help once again to reassure him that relaxation is safe, that it is safe to let go, that he will not fall into darkness, that his muscles will actually become stronger as they relax, and that his creativity rises to the surface when his body and mind are more relaxed. [...]

To some extent, these are all unique and creative ponderings that on the part of the animals alone would be considered the most curious and enlightening intellectual achievements. [...]

[...] Collect pages and reams of such material if it suits your fancy — and I am speaking not only to you, or to Ruburt, but to anyone who hopes to find a hint of truth, peace of mind, or creativity.

None of the prophesied destruction man so fears is a reality in your time; nor, for all of the critical prophets through the ages, and the forerunners of doom, has the creativity of man destroyed itself in those terms.

That kind of experience will let you glimpse the larger patterns of man’s creativity, and your part in it. [...]

[...] I’m continually losing my sense of involvement, of creative application on a daily basis that is so indispensable, and I’m continually searching for ways to recapture it and keep it going on a daily basis. [...]

In all cases, however, the need for value fulfillment, expression, and creativity are so important to life that when these are threatened, life itself is at least momentarily weakened. [...]

[...] The two of you, now, chose that aspect of your lives together in this life, to help you understand the meaningful relationship between spontaneity as connected with the emotions and creativity, and discipline as connected with the intellectual: to feel and understand the creative tension that connects them both, to learn the personal aspects of emotional relationships as they affect others, and the reflection of the emotions into creative endeavor. [...]

Wheat fields for example, filled not only with the vitality of sun and growth but bristling with creativity that (in quotes) “destroyed” each part of itself in death, that was transformed instantaneously into a new spectacular form in which the creativity and destruction were always apparent, and yet one in which violence was necessarily turned into life.

[...] The channels by their nature will translate and shape creative energy with their unique dimensions.

[...] Think of food and its preparation in creative terms, tell him. [...] Have him think more in terms of the creative preparation of pleasant foods he likes, an emphasis on an old forgotten pattern. [...]

[...] They are highly creative on an unconscious level, constantly forming psychic frameworks beneath normal consciousness that can be used both by themselves and others in dream and trance states. [...]

When you meet with any fact, you encounter the tail end of a certain kind of creativity. [...]

[...] All of your creative impulses arise from that hidden dimension — the very impulses that formed your greatest cities, your technology, and the physical cement that binds your culturally organized world.

The creative impulses are behind your languages, yet often you use the languages to silence rather than free inner communication. [...]

[...] With creative people, however, there are always intrusions, hints or clues from ways of thinking that certainly appear foreign, and creative people use those hints and clues to construct an art, a musical composition or whatever. [...]

I’m proud to have helped Jane and Seth make their contributions in our complex and very creative system of things in this reality. [...]

As Seth said in the session for July 31, 1984, in The Way Toward Health, “The sessions, like life itself, have been and are a gift, rising from the immense, never-ending creativity of existence.”

[...] Extend creativity & daring to physic area.

[...] But with all of this, she’s been refreshing her physical and creative selves by simply enjoying the day-by-day magical ripening of another spring.)

(Long pause.) Natural disasters represent an understandably prejudiced concept, in which the vast creative and rejuvenating elements important to planetary life, and therefore to mankind, are ignored. [...]

[...] You are creatively involved in the earth’s cycles. [...]

[...] On the other hand, the rousing creative energies of the people will emerge.

It is vital, again, that both of you trust that healing process and not hamper healing’s creativity by tying it to any given day’s practical experience. [...]

In itself, such an exercise creatively alters probabilities, for you no longer live with the problem as an unchanging concrete reality. [...] You are then creatively manipulating in several layers of experience.

[...] So, at your normal physical death, you come to the point where your earth-attuned consciousness can no longer handle further data without a “longer rest,” and organize it into a creative meaningful whole — in terms of time.

Because you now distrust the imagination so, you do not understand the great clues it gives you, both in terms of problem solving and of creative expression. [...]

[...] Even most creative work is done at the recognized threshold of the normal waking consciousness. Ruburt was presented with—or presented himself with—a situation in which large portions of his creative life appeared in books that were written in another state of consciousness entirely. [...]

[...] But also how basically easy it was for his, say, Cézanne and James books also, for creatively he moved very quickly. [...]

If Ruburt had been involved in other endeavors requiring unusual amounts of expression and creativity, however, the same cautionary methods would also have been activated to varying degrees.
