“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There is no way out of this, you see. You simply must realize that self-pity, in your terms, is highly destructive. Any charged emotional feeling will almost immediately be made actual. Now this gives you an advantage, you see, if you understand the principles. When you strongly desire to sell your paintings, my friend, you will do so. (Jane looks at me, eyes wide and dark.)

If you passionately desire that others possess them, and benefit from them then you shall sell them, and because of your desire you will take those necessary measures. But regardless of those measures, the paintings will sell.

(“I have the image of a circular object within a rectangular one, or rather an oval shape as in a portrait of a woman that is oval, for example as in old-time valentines.” To Jane this refers to the fact that Barbara is an amateur artist. Jane doesn’t know however if Barbara has for instance ever painted such a portrait. Jane wished she had allowed Seth to be more specific here. Later note by Rob: Poem is a valentine of sorts; love poem.

(“A connection with a woman and a card.” This we think is more of the immediately-above data, an attempt to get at Barbara painting pictures.

(“With a rose.” Jane thinks this a legitimate connection, but somewhat removed. Barbara, who paints, has painted a picture of a violin that she wanted to show me. I have also painted a picture of a violin. It was done perhaps twenty years ago and hangs in my parents’ home. My painting includes some wax roses.

(“With a brush or something that resembles it, with bristles.” Both Barbara and I use bristle brushes in our painting. In an oblique way this also leads to the next data.
