“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

While he worries sometimes about future money, or how he will make out, generally speaking he can handle that, and knows that left alone his creativity will, and is, producing financial as well as other results. He may worry about prices in the grocery store—and he does—but you do think in terms of financial limitations. Your daily remarks constantly speak of financial lack, except when you make a particular attempt to speak differently.

The more financially threatened he feels, the less free he feels to be creatively himself, and the more something like a book deadline gains in importance. You make a point, each of you, of concentrating upon your financial lacks, rather than your gains. You are not blind to your gains but you do not emphasize them.

The tax episode threw Ruburt into a quandary—not only because of the situation, but because you, he felt, felt so threatened that there was no joy in his royalty check. You have not, either of you, begun to appreciate your physically apparent financial abundance; and you refuse, to some extent, to take comfort from it, but instead concentrate upon high prices without being really consciously aware of the fact that you are able to meet them.

You did very well, suggesting you eat out, and in some other areas, Joseph, and helped Ruburt several times lately in important ways. When he feels financially threatened, however, that is when he pulls in his horns, cuts down on creativity, and tries to do his “job.’’

The situation is not negative unless you are thinking mainly in financial terms, and of great unusual wealth. You will be well provided for financially, as I have told you. [...] You can expect financial security beyond any dreams you had at marriage. And in the future great freedom, financially speaking.

Financially, even now in embryo, your ideas are far different than they were. [...]

You have, even now, a greater financial mobility therefore. [...]

You did not, fully now, realize your contribution to Seth Speaks in financial terms, though you understood your creative contribution. Ruburt did not either, until lately, because it was a matter of self-evidence: your contribution financially would come through painting alone. So for a while you were hassled that you were not financially contributing after you left Artistic, and so was Ruburt. You were contributing financially, but neither of you correctly understood this because of that specialized focus.

[...] Not realizing, either of you, your financial contribution through the works, you felt and so did he, after Artistic, that he carried the brunt financially.

[...] My financial contribution. [...]

[...] Because of your joint ideas—you, the artist, Ruburt the writer—then your financial contribution was strictly limited by both of you to that one field.

[...] Do you want me to tell you how to better your financial circumstances, or do you want to learn the hard way?

[...] You are attracting further financial problems in your desperation. [...]

Now your financial situation will not change no matter how you push yourself, unless you apply such simple exercises. [...]

[...] It will initiate other actions that will result in financial betterment.

He believes now that he is in a pretty fair position, one he can happily accept creatively and financially. [...] It was not really great wealth, but some acceptable framework of financial security he was after, and some assurance that his books would bring him this, along with the freedom of creativity as he understood it.

You are both heading for financial ease. [...] You will contribute creatively and financially. [...]

[...] For creative, financial and other present reasons, however, he felt that stern disciplinary measures had to be taken.

[...] He wanted you both to be in a position where you could hold your heads up creatively and financially.

The immediate money resulting with the contracts served as financial reinforcement at a time when you and Ruburt needed it. [...] Prentice wanted to set up a paperback mass connection, for to them this means that a book is good and has value financially. [...] It was a poor year financially speaking for them. They also needed financial reinforcement. [...]

I have nothing against bestsellers, and as I predicted the books will succeed financially beyond anything you would have thought—but over a period of time, in a dependable fashion, and in a way that will also best be suited to the temper of the times. [...]

[...] You will be more than financially comfortable—far better off in the future—though not necessarily in the near future, like next year, than you are now.

To be an overnight financial sensation, however, would present a reality that does not fit into your joint plans and purposes. [...]

It goes without saying that a full-time job would better the financial situation, but this is not the sort of thing to which I am referring. Your situation could be bettered financially while you retain basically the same schedule you now enjoy, if—and a very large if—if changed expectations were creating the psychic climate in which supply would flow. [...]

[...] Your beliefs now concerning finances and the automobile are actually keeping you from bettering your financial situation. [...]

[...] By your attitude you are effectively forming a barrier against any financial betterment of any significant kind. [...]

There is no doubt that he began to feel that his every creative act had to pay off financially. [...] He wanted you to do your thing, at the same time that the financial pressure grows. [...]

(They had to do with my painting, my lack of financial contributions this year, etc. [...]

[...] He is not worried so much that you have not made a great financial success of your art. [...]

[...] I thought that by now we’d have a good financial backlog built up, and freedom of action. [...]

Ruburt is satisfied with the financial pace, knowing it is accelerating on its own. [...] He knows the books will bring added financial success, and that ad campaigns, etc., will come. [...]

[...] The latter belief fell, however, and in three years the financial picture has changed vastly for the better.

You doubted that your own good work would bring any financial success at all, while you believed that commercial work would; but you do not like commercial work. [...]

[...] Now you feel that your own best writing efforts will bring you some appreciation and financial success, while you still doubt your best painting will.

You changed your approaches indirectly, and Ruburt was always stronger in the financial regard than you, as far as his beliefs that artistic creations could bring financial rewards. You believed that commercial art could give financial results, but not necessarily good writing, or good art.

[...] He stopped looking for financial impediments. [...] Just not worrying about it immediately began to give you some financial gain, for in Framework 2 conditions were reversed, and the imagined impediments were not projected into the future. [...]

Before, earlier, there was a third concern—a financial one, but he did not come across those journals this evening. [...]

[...] That area is the financial one, that indeed does now seem to come with an almost magical ease.

[...] At my instigation he began the classes, which led him, though slowly, into other areas of financial development.

[...] When the rewards financially began to pile up and you did not make a move, he began to think it was futile.

[...] He felt in the last years that he could sustain you both financially, with your psychic support, if the stimuli were there, and he knew you were doing what you wanted to.

He knew quite well that you would be both casting yourselves adrift financially in conventional terms. [...]

[...] His mother’s death, the fact that you left your job, and his own growing understanding released him first in financial terms, because of an always latent knowledge and belief in the reality of abundance—his father did have abundance even while Ruburt believed in poverty as a child.

[...] When that was resolved the creative breakthrough was possible, and the resulting financial gains.

[...] The financial accomplishments add to his person-respect. [...]

[...] Make certain that your idea of success is not merely financial, or concerned overly with the acquisition of the material objects that you do not now have.

[...] You know, I am sure, that if you are successful as a person and as an artist, then financial success will follow.

[...] Instead of course the concentration should be upon fulfilling your abilities, all of them, and financial success will come.

[...] The outflow of energy, the freeing of energy, into your work, automatically is determined by a general outflow of energy through all facets of your personality, that will automatically bring many different kinds of benefits, including financial ones.

[...] This added to the points mentioned earlier, has largely prevented any move; far more, I believe, than any financial considerations.

[...] He also thinks in terms of making such a venture pay, however, of ventures financially rewarding and enjoyable, while yours are negative in this regard.

[...] My ambiguous feelings re owning land, rather than purely financial considerations, is quite instructive, etc.)

I have been telling you this all along, if you recall, that your financial situation was changing.

[...] Released now in that direction, and convinced he is “right,” you will be astounded at the financial benefits, and material ones. [...]

[...] Your financial situation is increasing beyond your early dreams, because of a change in belief—so begin acting as if the normal pattern exists. [...]

[...] The person might succeed financially, only to make a serious or faulty business judgment, thus losing the financial benefits. [...]

[...] Yet financial security is important to both of you, because it allows you the freedom to create as you choose, and to follow this path. [...]

Let us change our viewpoint, and consider someone who thinks of financial security as a threat—or rather, believes that overall it is damaging to initiative. [...]

[...] Its very emotional vividness tells him he is not old and complacent, and its financial elements certainly make clear to him that he is not seeping in elderly security. [...]

There would have been no overwhelming conflict for him, hence no such physical symptoms as he has encountered, if he was content, you see, basically to let you carry the financial ball—in other words, if he were truly a dependent personality.

[...] It is not a question of fearing to face reality financially. [...]

He was bothered particularly, you see, because his own mother’s position makes him terrified of being financially dependent, yet the way he chose to make, money at this particular point was precisely the wrong way for him at this time.

[...] Your financial situation, tell him, is assured. [...]

He does feel a strong responsibility to hold his own financially. [...] Working alone had a magic, yet while money came from someplace else—working out—the weight of financial desire did not rest upon creativity.

He feels that he has taken a chance that you have not taken, staking financial survival on creative work. [...]
