“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I would like you to seriously embark upon the hobby of out-of-body travel. There is no reason why you cannot become proficient at it if you are strongly enough motivated. You will find all kinds of people that can serve as models for you. The alteration of consciousness involved will also enable you to make several distinct and advantageous changes of focus, in line with your own work.

Now within this framework you could test out many ideas for paintings, various techniques, and see them or their results immediately. This would be a conscious, alert experience. Do you follow me here?

The alterations of consciousness would give you a rather unique freedom that I cannot put into words, a perspective and a viewpoint above reality, that would show in your work. We have offered you suggestions to follow before.

For your particular purposes you might imagine that you are walking through, or traveling through, one of your own paintings. Try to throw your consciousness into the environment you have painted. Observe particularly the colors that would be observable to you in many out-of-body states. There are gradations with which you are not familiar. They will inspire changes in your own palette.

There will be all kinds of different spatial relationships for you to explore, and then to attempt to reproduce in your work if you prefer. The disciplines involved in these alterations of consciousness will help you in all other areas, will acquaint you quite personally with other realities, and be a preparation for the time when you will not have a physical body in which to manipulate.
