You can also find many connections between psychic activity and color and painting in which you are interested. Now I will tell you, you have never seen the colors of a rainbow unless you have seen them from an out-of-body state. If you want to see the colors of a flower, or my dear friends, of an apple, you must get out of your body to do so. Now you do not need to feel that his psychic abilities close you out, or that you do not have your own: or that his abilities will draw him away from you, for they would only bring him closer. Your own abilities are here to be used also, and in your own unique fashion.

You have never seen what design is until you see a spider’s web when you are out of the body. You have never seen what design is until you see a spider’s web from the spider’s viewpoint. Now you can learn to do this. You can use your psychic abilities, to throw your consciousness into the spider. Your body is a very handy mechanism and I do not suggest that you step out of it too long. However, as the earth’s atmosphere hides the conditions in the universe from your scientists, so also do the conditions of the body blind you to true color and design. Now you can develop in this way.

You can also develop along the same line in the dream state if you give yourself the suggestion that when you are dreaming you will see color truly and remember the colors that you have seen. You will remember them, and you can try to reproduce them. Now these colors are like nothing in this world. (Humorously.)

Now you have some latent inclinations of a musical nature as I mentioned earlier having to do with past-life experiences. Now simply in a spirit of fun, you see, you can use your abilities, and I will give you hints if you request them. You can use your abilities to hear the kind of music with which you were one time acquainted. This music is part of your experience though you have forgotten. Now: when you hear this music, in your mind try to translate it into color and design. And when you think of color, then, sense its motion.

Motion does have a sound though you may not hear it. Motion does have music though you may not hear it. The very motion of atoms and molecules has music. When you think of color, then, try to hear it, you try to sense the motion, then you can use such experiences in your art work. You can also suggest dreams in which you will hear the sort of music, with which you were acquainted.

Now the sound of the music will suggest colors to you and the colors themselves may appear in your mind as designs. Now all of this involves use of the inner senses, it involves an examination of the inner world. You must look inward with as much wonder as you look outward, and then the two worlds merge. Do you follow me?

I go rummaging through my own acquaintanceship with artists for his benefit, and I pass some of this on to you. There is a native spontaneity here, in our lady, that deals well with transparent color, that relates clearly and simply. And I believe she has been worried about what she may consider in the back of her mind as Adam’s murky quality. I hope we are clearing that up in this session. She has also picked up your thoughts toward Adam (to Tam) and to some extent been influenced by them. If you have ever felt threatened by Adam then she would feel this threat doubly. Do you follow me?
