“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The data re the paintings—Bega—Theodore M., was interesting, etc. On July 17, Theodore purchased the painting of Bega as designated by Seth. On July 16, Ned and Sue Watkins bought the oils of Charlie Painter, the dream hands, and Moses.

It is your loss. Now, there is a way—when you are involved in physical activity, and even intense mental work—to change the inner focus so that you are aware of two realities at once and can manipulate quite easily in the physical reality as you must. Now, you ask your Bega—for I have told him the message and I have told him to tell you. We shall see how good he is. And I want to know what he tells you for I want to see how he is delivering my suggestions.

([Theodore:] “Is that Bega on the wall?”)

Now I ask you, what would Bega be doing on the wall?

Now, I will tell you (Theodore) something. Bega is there and I will let you tell me which portrait is his. You may ask Bega or tell me. But you did not pick the correct portrait. (Theodore commented that one was “too much Hebrew.”)

Bega has had many lives—do not limit yourself in your thinking—do not limit yourself in your feelings—and do not retreat in the summertime from your inner self.

(Theodore holding up a portrait.) That is not Bega! I want you to seriously consider each one of the paintings and tell me which one is Bega!

Now. I do not want to see another painting. I do not want an attitude that says, “Is this it?” I want an intuitive feeling on your part and a recognition. Do you intuitively feel that that is a portrait of Bega?

([Theodore:] “The one I thought was Bega was actually Ruburt.”)

That is because it is the portrait of Bega. But you did not pick it out as your first choice. Now, Bega has been here as I have been here and he was calling you to look toward the corner of the room—and you were too intellectually smug to do so as Ruburt is often too intellectually smug to do what I ask him to do. And your own intellectual ideas prevented you from first picking out your intuitive choice, as far as the portraits were concerned.
