“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Practically speaking, this is seldom done, but it has been on occasion. The brain cannot contain such episodes. A portion of the self would retain these experiences. Now in a creative individual, some of these could be expressed symbolically in a painting or other work of art, but the ego could not consider them as actual.

The excellent work of art recreates for the observer inner experience of his own also, of which he has perhaps never been aware. As you know, paintings have motion, yet the painting itself does not move. This idea perhaps will help you to understand experience in terms of intensity, and projections, or the movement of consciousness, without necessarily any involvement with space.

The spacious present is always present (smile)—my pun—in any work of art. As you should know, there is a difference in the type of mobility of an objective painting, and an abstract one. The fluidity or the spacious present pervades the dream state as it pervades a painting, but the images are projected into the spacious present by the dreamer, according to his own understanding and experience.
