“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I have told you and I have told each of you here—that you are basically no different than I am. You are a consciousness in your time—dwelling within flesh. Presently, I have no body with which to manipulate in your physical system. And yet, regardless of that fact, each of you knows me well—you feel this vitality. And as I have said time and time again—such demonstrations should show you, since they are coming through Ruburt, that this energy is a portion of the energy that is your own—you have as much energy as I have—you have as much energy available to you as Ruburt has available to him. You each have as much energy within each of you as is being shown now in this room. My message is to use your own energy—to open yourself so that it can be known through you. The answers that you want reside within you. They will sweep out as easily and as clearly as air... if you let them! I repeat again: physically, Ruburt dwells within the same world as each of you. He has access to no more energy than you each possess! Then use your own energy! When you finally feel what I am saying, then you will ride above your own energy!

You think of yourself (to Brad) as a “closed physical personality”—weak and helpless—in a world that you do not understand. You do not realize that you have as much energy available to you now as Ruburt is now showing or as this voice now shows.

When an artist paints a painting, you can look at the painting and say, “Ah, the artist was in a certain frame of mind” or: “Look at the dull colors and the dreary landscape” or: “Look at the wild colors and the fantastic forms” or: “See, there is no form and yet there is marvelous vitality.” ...And so are each of you artists and you create the world that you know. And when you look at the world you know you can say, “Look, this is what I have created!” And if you do not like what you see, then there is no point in ripping apart the painting or ripping apart the framework of your life. Instead, you change your pigments. And, in this case, your pigments are your thoughts and your imagination. And then you change your painting.
