Becoming an Artist in Living
This message arrived spontaneously as I was mulling over my own lack of artistic talent a couple of mornings ago. It was an interesting response and showed me how creative we all are—but not the way I normally thought. I then found the useful TGU input excerpt that is repeated below preceding my “download”.
TGU: “You will remember that we say that your purpose on earth in physical matter reality is to choose and choose and choose and to create yourselves, and that the creation of yourself is the gift. Well, it isn’t only after you come back as part of us. It’s a gift while you’re doing it.”

From My Joint Mind
Consciousness is ever creating, it’s built-in.

70th talk with Rita — 3-31-2015
Tuesday, March 31, 2015
F: 4 a.m. John Dorsey Wolf poses exactly the kind of question I have been dreading, one where Rita has to know the answer, and I don’t, and can’t surmise it. In other words, the question puts me on the spot and mobilizes and activates all my own doubts about the process. In short, “what if I’m only making this stuff up?” So – good questions. Miss Rita? You up to the challenge?
R: You mean – am I really here? Do I really exist?
F: More like, are we really in contact? Retrieving factual information has always been a big hurdle for me, and I draw my conclusions [from that fact].
R: The questions involve Explorer tape 19 on Love Fear and Higher Consciousness – who was the non-3D source – and tape 29 on Aspects – are they related to strands?

68th talk with Rita — 3-24-2015

F: 2:45 a.m. So, Rita, I am fascinated to see you making sense of things I started to get more than a dozen years ago, but couldn’t bring through coherently. I spoke of crystallizing but could never make it clear and plain because I couldn’t understand it clear and plain. But you yesterday did it almost off-handedly, b saying that people either can or can’t hold it together when the bonds of the body are gone, and, if they can’t, it is not the constituent parts but the organizing principle for that soul, the personality that had expressed in 3D, that goes away. You didn’t say it in so many words, but that was the unspoken essence of it.
R: Another example of “the better the question, the better the answer.” And merely by us seeing the question straight, a lot of perplexities fell away, did they not?
F: They certainly did! At least, for me. Maye others would need to go through our sessions to see how hard we struggled with the question of what happens to the soul that doesn’t crystallize, with the guys assuring us that nothing is lost, but unable to show us why not.

Seth and our culture
As I look around at what most people seem to believe, it’s like living in an insane asylum. Scientists have their particular brand of insanity; religious fundamentalists theirs, liberals and New Agers their own, gloom-and-doomers in general, theirs. What a relief, then, to pick up a Seth book and see this calm survey of these life-denying beliefs, putting them into context. And what an affirmation to find my own beliefs put better than I can myself.
“The species is in a state of transition, one of many. This one began, generally speaking, when the species tried to step apart from nature in order to develop the unique kind of consciousness that is presently your own. That consciousness is not a finished product, however, but one meant to change, evolve, and develop. Certain artificial divisions were made along the way that must now be dispensed with.
“You must return, wiser creatures, to the nature that spawned you – not only as loving caretakers but as partners with the other species of the earth. You must discover once again the spirituality of your biological heritage. The majority of accepted beliefs – religious, scientific, and cultural – have tended to stress a sense of powerlessness, impotence, and impending doom – a picture in which man and his world is an accidental production with little meaning, isolated yet seemingly ruled by a capricious God. Life is seen as “a valley of tears” – almost as a low-grade infection from which the soul can be cured only by death.
“Religious, scientific, medical and cultural communications stress the existence of danger, minimize the purpose of the species or of any individual member of it, or see mankind as the one erratic, half-insane member of an otherwise orderly realm of nature. And or all of the above beliefs are held by various systems of thought.”

47th talk with Rita – 2-22-2015
Sunday February 22, 2015
F: 5:30 a.m. Miss Rita, it occurs to me, maybe you would rather lecture than answer questions at some point. I assume you will let me know.
R: Of course. But for now this serves. It is always well to know where your students’ understanding is. And questions will reveal that.
F: Okay, shall we continue down the list?
R: We might as well. Charles may substitute questions as he sees fit, since the burden of shaping the material is going to fall on him. But at any given time, it is safe enough, easy enough, to see what has been given previously.
F: Okay, here’s the next on the present list.

41st talk with Rita – 2-16-2015
Monday February 16, 2015
F: 5 a.m. Beginning again, Miss Rita. I think today I’ll leave it up to you where we begin, and I’ll try it in the journal, the old way. Something didn’t work out yesterday, and I’m wondering if it is too many variables.
R: Or could it be that things beyond your ability to observe them make some times propitious and others not, and some times extremely auspicious and other times particularly unsuitable. It is a mistake to underrate the powerful influence of the background influences in your lives. You aren’t immune to them, and how should you expect to be? You are a part of the great beating heart of the world, or a part of the great clockwork, if that more mechanical analogy appeals to you – part of a vast undivided eco-system that extends throughout all of 3D (because of course there cannot be any absolute divisions) and extends throughout all non-3D, as well, which is going to be a different thought to you, therefore an important one.
When in 3D – I remember it well – there is a tendency to think that the non-physical world is unchanging, somehow static. But how could that be, given that the 3D world is part of it, and reflects it, and provides part of the background for it, as the non-3D provides part of the background for 3D? it is all in one’s viewpoint, one’s place to stand, which is the background and which the foreground.

25th talk with Rita — 1-30-2015

F: 6 a.m. So, Miss Rita, here we go again. This is becoming a habit, very like my fond memories of getting up each morning to have coffee with Ernest Hemingway and see the sun come up while sitting at the dining room table – your dining room table, come to think of it – writing. So, you said you wanted to begin by disposing of the question about language.
[Rita had said, “Next time we will begin with Bob’s question about language, which should be easy to dispose of.”]
R: That sounds like I’m going to toss it aside, but I’m merely going to clear up a point that many may not have considered. It isn’t particularly complicated, but some easy questions are nonetheless worthwhile.
F: In other words, there are no stupid questions, so people shouldn’t worry about asking things.
R: Yes, but also there isn’t any way to tell in advance which question may illuminate something important, and which may not. So – same conclusion: people shouldn’t worry that something they really want to know about may not be worthwhile. If we – or you, or I alone – choose not to answer a question for a particular reason, fine, but there isn’t any reason for people to hesitate to ask, provided their question is sincere.
