“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Sorrow or fear obviously show different faces—not only (long pause), the anatomy and the structure [that] forms the living face, but the emotions within that give the muscles and the structures meaning, and that play upon them. You want the force that feels the form and so the figure must indeed dominate the painting, as the force within must fill and move within the figure itself.

The power must fill the image, and the image then fill the painting so that the very force of the figure seems hardly contained within it. It is the emotions beneath (smile) that give meaning to the image, and yet these emotions are held and contained and given direction and force by and through the image. (Leaning forward, emphatic delivery, eyes open.)

The painting itself, and any painting, rises out of the empty board through the force of your own emotions, and the board becomes the focal point that collects, draws together and directs the energy from your inner self, into form.
