“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

You want to create a whole new world of your own making, in your own art form, and you will not be satisfied with less. In your paintings the people will be in control of the environment. It will not overwhelm them, and yet they will definitely emerge from it, and psychologically this will represent to you a triumphant emergence of individual personality.

In one way you have begun to do so, in the manner that you have chosen to paint clothing—that is, the types of clothing you have chosen to portray. The environment portion will come later, and you will sense the environment something like a mystic arrangement that a given personality throws about the world around him.

Clothing tells much about character, for a person chooses his clothing. Subconsciously he also chooses his environment, and throws his own character about it so the basic mood, the underlying mood of a personality beneath all the shifting moods, will also be expressed in color that is reflected in the entire painting, the environment as well.

This is also reflected in the environment. By environment I mean those portions of the painting called background. They will attain greater vividness for you. You will see them as extensions of your people, rather than as the medium in which your people happen to appear. Do you have any questions on this material?
