“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I will let our Ruburt rest, at least for a moment or so. Now and then I do indeed look down at him from my painting. I have at times been more presentable than that. Someday we shall show that face, and this face (Jane pointed to herself) for I am a stubborn gentleman, and in my own time we shall indeed give quite adequate proofs of what I am.

(The portrait referred to by Seth happened to hang on a wall facing Jane this evening. In the 168th session, Seth stated the painting represented him, but he did not say in which life. The idea “came” to me one day and I painted the portrait without a model. It is quite successful, and depicts an elderly, rotund, bald man standing by a window through which strong light streams. He gestures toward the viewer. As soon as I began work on it last spring, Jane insisted it was of Seth. I did not know who it represented consciously; merely that I had a very clear mental image of a face and figure to paint. The work progressed with considerable ease. See Volume 4.
