“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

—than he previously believed. If the suggestions in the session are followed, they will alter his picture of his own reality, and through action. Naturally the session must be followed and not just read, from the sketching or painting suggestions right on. If that session is followed faithfully for two months, you will see some nearly spectacular changes.

Now. Thoughts have their own energy. Your thoughts and everyone else’s. Your own greater awareness now, with Ruburt, to him represents the first real break in your armor. It will also serve to release feelings of joy that you have inhibited. These feelings are released not only in paintings that you are working on, say, now, but on paintings that were completed earlier. Your emotional reality permeates everything with which you come in contact—across the board, regardless of the time element.

These feelings, this extra vitality, enriches then paintings that you did in the past earlier. These feelings were picked up by the people who have been buying your paintings of late, and the same feelings will radiate outward, you see, wherever the paintings may be. As the session is followed Ruburt’s joy will be liberated through the body in the same way. Do you follow me?

(This is excellent material, well worth remembering. I want to keep it in mind especially re paintings and sales, of course. It’s still working as I type this, on a class night; one of Jane’s students bought another portrait. This one I’d finished but a couple of months ago. I didn’t expect this sale. Even as I write this paragraph, another student asked the price on a still life I painted a couple of years ago....)

You are quite correct, that conscious involvement is necessary on Ruburt’s part. But then the released energy can act on the images in the same way that the feelings acted on the paintings.

The feelings or emotions automatically reach out, therefore, altering all objects within your reality, but from the particular focus point of its emergence. In Ruburt’s case the body, where the lack of joy showed, and in your case in the paintings, where the greater expressiveness will now add—and has—its own vitality.
