“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You then begin to anticipate further distractions. When a so-called distraction at one time is welcomed at another time, then obviously it is no distraction, but expresses a need. You went to the bank today because you thought you should, going against your feelings. You went with your feelings about Maria (Clodes), but this caused you difficulty instead of enjoyment because of the bank. Such a policy would allow you an automatic way of making such decisions, would clear the air, and give you each a far more exuberant flow of energy.

(10:25.) Spontaneity knows its own order. The creative self is the most spontaneous of all. There are hidden rhythms of creativity that you do not take advantage of, and I am not speaking here to you (RFB) alone. They become overlaid with cultural habits. The suggestions I have made will help release these, and allow you to utilize them. It is rather silly to see people every Friday night on schedule unless that policy suits you. It is silly, however, in the same way to force yourself to concentrate at a time when you really yearn for activity. As it is, you often feel guilty whether you work or play, so to speak. Obviously you may not each feel the same way at the same time, but if you clearly communicate your feelings to each other, that is no problem. The material is valuable if you use it. It represents a way of handling your energy that is native to your own being, and permits creativity its easiest, most natural flow.

The few distractions of any vital nature then can be handled. They will be minute. When you feel like shopping or seeing people, then do so just as freely. The air will be cleared. You will have a decent policy to follow—and there is none better because it will be dictated by your own individual nature.

Naturally concentration becomes difficult. The decisions you make often seem wrong because you are trying to apply artificial decisions over initial decisions of feeling that you override. These suggestions will give you, again, a clearing. It is a policy that you have not, either of you, really tried.

[...] I believe that a forementioned death will result in a change of policy in one respect, and a change in policy will help quicken the advent of the new product. [...]

[...] Both Peg and Bill mentioned a chaotic state existing at the newspaper office where they work, though Bill said this was merely the result of a natural evolution of policies perhaps. [...]

[...] The full extent of these policies in their specific form is not realized by the man’s superiors. [...]

[...] To some extent the same type of policy is still reflected in your current societies, though science or the state itself may serve instead of the church as the voice of authority. [...]

[...] The two corresponded frequently, met often, and in their ways conspired to alter many of the practices that were abhorrent yet held as proper church policy. [...]

Both the nightmare experience and the dream were partially triggered by our last session (on March 4), of course, and served to show Ruburt why he had begun to cut down on some (underlined) of his own psychic experience, inspiration, and expression—a policy reflected in the repressed nature of bodily expression. [...]

[...] It is not the fact of the taxes so much that annoys you, as the uses of the taxes, for you resent “being forced” to contribute your money to what you think of as stupid national policies.

On the one hand, our work and yours is largely devoted to poking holes into the official one-line consciousness, and on the other you find yourself financially responsible to contribute to its policies.

More than this, again, any money thus acquired in the future, as in the past, would go to promote the continuance of the very system that, left alone, would mutilate our book, and continue idiotic cultural and political policies that are opposed to what you stand for.

[...] Your politicians are scoffed at as often as they are honored, and their human failings are examined sometimes with glee—overall, a good healthy policy on the part of the people.

[...] Even more unfortunate are the special policies for the elderly that detail in advance all of the most stereotyped and distorted concepts about health and age. There is a great correlation between the kind of policies that people take out, and the illnesses that they then fall prey to.

[...] Quite simply, their policy can be read: “You are what you eat.” [...]

[...] It is very poor policy to dwell negatively on unpleasant aspects of the past that you know, because some portions of the probable self may still be involved in that past. [...]

(10:12.) To dwell upon the possibility of illness or disaster is equally poor policy, for you set up negative webs of probabilities that need not occur. [...]

[...] There will be two other men also of a like philosophy, and the four of you will exert considerable force within the company in the future, and will shape its policy eventually.

[...] The stakes are high, for you have indeed always wanted to shape the policy, and that is why you should not move yet. [...]

[...] A poor policy. [...]

[...] A change of policy is the clue in such cases; vacillation.

[...] Never before, in your terms, has the private person been able to see a picture of the mass world in such a way, or been forced to identify with the policies of his or her government. [...]

The conversation had to do with policy on the company’s part. But not only generally on a high level, but policy as it filtered down through the hierarchy; and a particular policy, a way of treatment.

[...] John agreed that this was high-level company policy that filtered down to the local level.)

It seemed the only safe policy.

Policy however shadowed everything he did, for he carried it into every activity. [...]

[...] She talked him out of his nuclear-arms policies, and out of the devil — and evil — idea. [...]

[...] A new policy? [...]
