“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There will be a core within your own paintings, from which the whole composition springs, and it is here that you can find rapport with the center of your self. The center contains condensed knowledge, not only of seemingly past lives, but also of the future. Of this, in your work, you create a new dimension.

That center is like a road that you can follow inward. Remembered faces of those you have known, and remembered scenes from other existences, form the nucleus of your experience; the forms that you bring, seemingly out of nothing, into actuality. Although you are not consciously aware of the past familiarity, nevertheless you use the knowledge to your conscious advantage.

Now when you, with your love of images, look at a face, relax for a moment. Slightly let yourself fall out of focus, look away, and then back to the face of the subject. Tell yourself that you will see the features and the structures shift. You will see the face behind that face, the image of the person as it was in a past life.

A too-rigid rendition can frighten the subject by imprisoning him within the moment, from which it seems he cannot escape. Obviously the technique can be as realistic as you like, however. It is that the lines, seeming so realistic, also symbolically suggest what the viewer himself cannot see in his own face, but knows is there. And so the landscape, not one but many landscapes in one, for while it is unique in a given moment, still it is a composite in your terms of the pasts that have formed it, and the futures that act upon it even now.

In the past, you see, it would have been highly improbable that Ruburt could have received that kind of information. He would not have allowed himself the highly focused sort of trance necessary, for rather specialized data. Now, some of it may not make sense to mathematicians as yet in any case, but portions will.

It can also be used in healing, when it is developed. Without realizing it Ruburt has had several other very brief experiences with this kind of trance in the past. In those instances a necessary familiarity was achieved, though the results in terms of information were negligible.

(At various times in the past I have heard Jane mention this same sort of intense focus in trance, but not to this extent previously.
