“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Not only this, but he needs other interests to refresh him. I have in the past suggested he resume painting. The yoga is good, excellent for him. It should be done joyfully. He need not always be so serious. These points sound obvious, but they should be followed. This gives the inner self freedom. He has been hammering again, though now he hammers with a better purpose. (Smile.)

He has felt the need of sleep because he has been overly anxious to set things right. These suggestions, followed, will return him to his proper course. I am able to tell him such things now. Months ago he would not have allowed me to speak until he had a return of symptoms. We are short-circuiting all of that now.

Think first in terms of being yourself a medium, through which visions flow. They will each to some degree suggest their own forms which you can faithfully follow. Do not try consciously to settle upon any given medium, oil, et cetera (pause), or consciously try to set up a lifetime program, in those terms, now.

The development will come naturally from within, following the general trend followed by these inner visions. Because you are you, you will attract your own unique visions, and if you follow these suggestions each vision will indicate its form and medium, and the general pattern of these will then be seen to be following along certain lines.

These lines—I mean directions—overall, will give you your uniquely original style. You will not be forcing yourself along certain lines, nor trying to mold a pattern upon yourself from without. The original style and so forth, the original slant and direction that you seek, will be the result of your own inner vision freely followed according to the suggestions I have tried to give you. It already exists and is apparent in some of your work.

(Pause.) Stop thinking in terms of the medium, then, and let each vision suggest its own. I will give you additional material on this subject when you want it.
