“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Such an art is impossible to describe in words. The concept has no verbal equivalent. These creators, however, are also involved in inspiring those in all levels of reality available to them. For example, inspiration in your system is often the work of such creators.

Now: Others, finished with reincarnations and of a different overall nature, may begin the long journey leading toward the vocation of a creator. On a much different plane, this can be compared to geniuses in creative fields within your own physical reality.

Instead of paints, pigments, words, musical notes, the creators begin to experiment with dimensions of actuality, imparting knowledge in as many forms as possible — and I do not mean physical forms. What you would call time is manipulated as an artist would manipulate pigment. What you would call space is gathered together in different ways.

[...] The creative abilities join the creator and created (long pause) in a behavior in which for example, now, the painting that is to be affects the creator of it before its inception and before its form, so that the two are connected in a kind of behavior in which at deeper levels the ideas of cause and effect can have no meaning. The painting-to-be pushes against the awareness of its creator (all intently). [...]

The time that any artistic creator is involved with follows earth’s own time, however. The creator’s time rises out of the seasons and the tides, even though in your society you make a great effort to fit the creator’s time into what I will call assembly-line time. [...]

[...] I said that the artistic creator operates in the time of the seasons and so forth, in a kind of natural time — but that natural time is far different than you suppose. [...]

(9:45.) Instead, you have an inner dimension of activity, a vast field of multidimensional creativity, a Creator that becomes a portion of each of its creations, and yet a Creator that is greater than the sum of its parts: a Creator that can know itself as a mouse in a field, or as the field, or as the continent upon which the field rests, or as the planet that holds the continent, or as the universe that holds the world—a force that is whole yet divisible, that is one and the inconceivably many, a force that is eternal and mortal at once, a force that plunges headlong into its own creativity, forming the seasons and experiencing them as well, glorifying in individuation, and yet always aware of the great unity that is within and behind and through all experiences of individuality: a force from [which] each moment’s pasts and futures flow out in every conceivable direction.

All right (Jane said), call me the creator, this part of me that’s talking. [...]

I am literal-minded, in that I believe you are meant to be creators, and I have done all in my power to see that you did not swerve. [...]

[...] It’s our nature to be creators, but finally we had great difficulty creating under the conditions mentioned. [...]

[...] You are indeed learning to be creators... and you are already, in your terms, creators. [...]

(Its very difficult for the practical world—for people who aren’t primarily “artists or creators” to deal with that sort of thing; they don’t know where to place it and ideas alone make them uncomfortable—they aren’t real or unreal according to their way of looking at reality.

If this is the case, then regardless of what you have told yourself thus far, you still do not believe that you are the creator of your own experience. [...]

[...] You are a creator translating your expectations into physical form. [...]

(Louder:) The creator is not the master of his creations. He is simply their creator, and he creates because he does not attempt to control. [...]

You have not given each other, now, the ever-growing, ever-more-rewarding emotional interactions and encounters that you need as individuals and as creators.

[...] You hid your warmth from each other, and denied each other the life-giving, rich emotional interaction that you need as individuals and as creators.

[...] When you ponder upon the aspects of God, you unthinkingly speak of the creator of that one light. [...]

[...] This automatic processing is highly individual, and is what you do as a creator. [...] As a creator you translate it into physical terms.

[...] All That Is is the creator of individuality, not the means of its destruction.

[...] In those terms there is a constant interaction between the creation and the creator, and in three-dimensional reality the creator is so a part of his handiwork that it is difficult to tell one from the other.

[...] All That Is is so much a part of its creations that it is almost impossible to separate the “creator from the creations,” for each creation also carries indelibly within it the characteristics of its source.

[...] The book follows the idea that an objectified God made the universe (and the earth) in a perfect condition, and that instead of evolving toward more complicated forms, it’s running down; that decay and catastrophe are break-downs of previous better conditions, but that even these will finally be removed by the Creator after they have served their own special purposes. [...]

[...] Bow down before no man, no woman, and no belief — but know you are indeed the creators.

[...] The psyche is the creator of time complexes. [...]

See yourself as a playful creator. [...]

[...] Playful creators always help. [...]

(Pause.) All That Is realized that such a separation would also allow you (pause) to bring about a different kind of divine art, in which the creators themselves created, and their creations created, bringing into actuality existences that were possible precisely because there would seem (underlined) to be a difference between the creator and the creations. [...]

Consciousness therefore continually creates and maintains itself, and this includes the physical materialization, the properties of the dimension, and yet basically there is no difference between the creator in these terms and the created. [...]
