“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.

Your painting itself will seem to expand, for the channels will be opened. The symbols that you work with will grow in depth and validity, for they will be symbols that will be recalled to some degree by all men. There may be a definite memory recall, a few curious moments when time dissolves, when even beneath a portrait you have painted you will see another face.

(See the last two sessions.) There are various ways in which Ruburt’s abilities can be used, and various purposes they can serve, according to circumstances and conditions. As I told you, I was present, though in the background; Ruburt’s tutor—and it was I—who showed him how to return when he felt it desirable. (Very humorously, eyes open:) He needs a guide. Often when he supposes he is out by himself, or working alone, I am there to keep an eye on him.

I am showing him (Ruburt) how to open and close doors, how to answer knocks without letting the whole world in. (Pause.) I am letting him do a good bit of his own work, however, rather than doing this for him. The ability is his, and it is he who will use it. I will always help him in such endeavors.
