“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You could compare these units, simply for an analogy, to the invisible breath of consciousness. This analogy will not carry us far, but it will be enough initially to get the idea across. Breath is of course also a pulsation, and these units operate in a pulsating manner. They are emitted by the cells, for example, in plants, animals, rocks, and so forth.

I would appreciate it, dear friend, if you let me continue for now, though I understand why you want to know. This is not a rebuke. (Smiling.) I simply did not want to be interrupted. Give us a moment. (Pause.) I do not know the specific painting, although a round object was involved. It was I believe one of the pieces of fruit. The idea flitted through your mind and you did not grab hold of it, but it worried you.

(I got the idea for this little landscape while driving through the country in Pennsylvania a few weeks ago, on one of the regular trips Jane, my mother, and I take to see my father.

(Pause.) These are simply a few suggestions. You can paint landscapes as if they were portraits, and portraits as if they were landscapes. Just thinking of this idea and its implications can lead you to some unique ideas, and there is a possibility that you could hit upon something quite new.

(This above data is excellent on Seth’s part, full of evocative ideas and intuitive good sense. I have at various times entertained related ideas, but never put them in as concrete form. Because of this I know I haven’t discussed them with Jane, as such. The idea of thinking of a person’s face as a landscape is very good. I am already thinking of ways to put the suggestions to work on a conscious basis.)
