“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You will find that a creative, placid and yet fulfilling time is beginning, when you will both begin to do some of your best work. Certain elements are leaving your lives now, and with the signing of the contract Ruburt feels socially, economically and creatively justified, and accepted.

He has passed over the hump of early adulthood, that you passed through some time before, and you are both ready to give yourselves to your work. There will be an added placidity, as well as spontaneity. We will return to our material. Much work that we have done however in terms of the Philip (John Bradley’s entity area is Philip) readings, will be of great value, and serve to add to the authenticity, in other people’s eyes, of your adventure.

There are some remarks about healing, both for you and for our Aerofranz (Tam Mossman) for example. Such sessions will serve us all well, and one out of eight sessions would hardly be too much. In helping others you help yourselves.

A portrait must contain a searching and a deep statement of the human condition, a reaching out toward the mystery that is another person, whether the person exists in your mind, or physical reality, or both. A portrait must contain a journey into personality, and the technique and the form will then follow naturally and spontaneously.

Either will be some experience for you, I can promise you. (Humorously and emphatic.) Both demand a concentration and focus into the basic reality from which painting comes, rather than upon the painting itself. They will acquaint you with their source.

This restriction will show in all areas of your work if you do not break it, and you can do so. Its effects literally color all of your painting activities, and serve to reinforce the restrictions of an emotional nature. So solving one issue helps both.

My heartiest wishes to you both. You have been given advice geared to you and to your needs. If you follow it you will be amazed at the difference in your attitude and in your work. It must not be a willy-nilly trial, a one-or-two day affair, but a wholehearted plunge into whatever approach you choose, and you should also follow the suggestions given later concerning time and your attitude. This is your artistic prescription, and half doses will not do a full job.
