“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This time I had to work hard before resolving the problem after a couple of days. The painting is almost done now and appears to be successful. It is something of a new departure for me, and embodies a lot of the things I’ve learned doing my portraits for the past year or so. I hadn’t said anything to Jane about my concern with this painting; in fact, everyone who saw it in progress, even at the beginning, seemed to like it, remarking especially upon the form and composition.

You will know at a later time. You could perhaps at some time paint a portrait of a man who would like to sit within that landscape. You have painted a mind or a spirit as it appears in landscape form. Give us a moment.

(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.

Your treescape, for example: the other way around—what kind of face does it evoke? You see already to some extent that it evokes a portrait. Do you follow me?
