“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You feel the work is safe while you have it. You put in time and effort in the past to sell your commercial work, but have refused to do the same to sell your paintings. You are aware of this, I know.

In order to sell your paintings in any important way, or to achieve a reputation, you must want to achieve a reputation, and want to sell the paintings. Not because you should, or feel you should, but because you want to. And if you want to, you will take them to the best-known marketplace. This in itself will bring into activation positive elements.

The man to whom I have referred is approximately 62, but filled with energy, and would have intuitive understanding of your work. He also needs something new in his own life, and your work would give him new purpose. You could trust him.

You have had glimpses, but the two abilities will work hand in hand so that ideas for paintings will occur with greater vividness, and your hand itself will know how to get certain effects that you want, before you are consciously aware of how this is done.

I am not suggesting that you relinquish conscious concern and control, but you will be amazed at how the intuitive self will use your hands, and to your conscious advantage, in experiments.

You have begun to appreciate the workings of your psychic self in your paintings, but you are only beginning. And yes, the entire figures of your people will also emerge, both in movement and repose, and you will be surprised, again, at how well the characterization will show itself through the gestures and even folds of the cloth.

You will be giving life and vitality to the stock human figure that is often used, so that the hands are as alive as the face, and the figures seem caught in motion, begun but never completed.

You want to do your own people. You want to make your own people, and you want to make their environment. The people will come first, but then you will feel that their personality extends also into their environment.
