“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(A few days ago Jane and I had looked at another apartment, one much bigger than ours and also more expensive. She liked it but for some reason I thought it wise not to take it. It belongs to one of Jane’s coworkers at the art gallery. Personally, I would like our next move to be to our own place in the suburbs or the nearby country.

The portrait that you sent to the gallery is evocative. It continues to grow. It is not completely at the mercy of a completed camouflage. The whole self is never completely constructed on your plane. At best it finds expression now and then. A camouflage plane, merely by being what it is, makes it impossible for the whole self to find expression. There is almost hypnotic focus of energy for a particular time for a particular reason.

Incidentally it is possible that you and Ruburt and his friend at the art gallery and her husband may become good friends, but it would have been extremely inadvisable for you to have moved into her apartment. You both have known the woman before, and under unpleasant circumstances. As tenants you would have been extremely dissatisfied with her.

At one time she was in a subordinate position to you, Joseph, and without knowing why she would have been very domineering if you were a tenant. In the gallery relationship Ruburt is tacitly above her in the hierarchy and there is no difficulty. As friends a relationship would be excellent, as she would benefit very much, and you would both benefit by the help that you would be able to give her.

Ruburt was your son, as you well know. And he was a painter, so that the art gallery is an ironic place for Ruburt and this woman to meet.
