“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Yesterday afternoon, November 28, while working in my studio in the back of our apartment, I had a vision of a painting. I recognized it as mine, or one I will do, of Bill Gallagher. I have been thinking over ways to do portraits of both Bill Gallagher and Bill Macdonnel.

(His head was bare and his hair blowing in a wind. The portrait was life-size, from the knees up, very dramatic and bold in concept and detail, and very effective pictorially. I was delighted to see it, and was at once sure I was capable of producing such a work. The Gallaghers visited us Saturday evening, December 2. I did not see them arrive, but witnessed their departure. I had not mentioned the vision to them, and asked Jane to wait before she did so. As Bill Gallagher walked down the hall away from us upon departing, I saw that he wore a long black coat with I believe a hood upon it—a garment quite like that he wore in the vision, and one I possessed no special knowledge of in his wardrobe.

(The vision had one oddity—I stood at my desk working at something else when I became aware of it to my left. It was large, framed, and cocked at an odd angle to the floor, as if propped up by invisible hands. While I stared at it it appeared to be solid, and very nearly animated—note the wind effect mentioned earlier.

(Smile.) You would have been consciously aware of the painting whether or not you were consciously aware of the vision. It is you who think of the painting in terms of time, and who perceive it in this manner. (Sitting up as she spoke, Jane began to take off her sweater and shoes.) The painting exists and in one reality you have already completed it. In your present framework however you seem to be waiting for the developments to occur.

There is much more here that the author does not understand, but he has hit upon excellent methods, and you can take advantage of them. The paintings that you will paint do exist, because you have in one sense the potential to create them. (Jane again lay down.) They exist in potential form. It is not true however that anyone else could pick them up, so to speak, from cosmic energy. They are attuned to you, and only your particular individuality is equipped to pick them up. Do you understand here?

You have a wealth of painting material, of potential forms to draw upon. They are simply yours for the asking. They are paintings that no one else can materialize in physical form but you. Knowing this gives you a great advantage.
