“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

When you are bothered by noise and tumult, by traffic and the sound of neighbors’ voices, by lawn mowers and other irritating sounds, try this: do not fight them. Purposely plunge into them; go along with them as action, and they can refresh you.

From the sound, the assaulting onrushing sound of traffic, if you listen you can emerge with the prize—perhaps an abstract, with the pulsating sounds transferred to rhythm and color; or perhaps again a portrait, here, of a compulsive personality, driven, and yet behind it all the purpose which is not easily seen, and the reason.

You can do this in the opposite manner, building up from sounds visual frameworks that are completely original portraits, created from the sound of voices. Even landscapes, elemental but fragile, built up from the ebb and flowing voice of traffic as it passes by your door. As an artist use everything.
