“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

True creativity is far more apt to flourish, however, to the extent that you are not trapped by the “mass mind”(in quotes), and not tempted by the inducements. (Long pause at 9:10.) You chose the circumstances against which to pit yourself. The kind of art you will produce is not meant to be the art of youth. It is not what you intended. Your insights and intuitions were to be sifted through earthly years of knowledge and experience. Through these, childlike wisdom will indeed show itself, but a wisdom that has been tried, that is aware of its own integrity through the seasons.

You did not chose that easy way for a reason. You knew you were preparing yourself, but the time of preparation was extended beyond what it need have been. (9:20.)

Let your preliminary sketches be as spontaneous as your ink sketches. Then imagine the colors as appearing from within, not applied from without but shining through. Remember the incredible individuality and integrity and possibilities of each line. You can sometimes forget this in your painting sketches, while you are quite aware of it in your ink sketches.

Imagine the colors as waves of light, not as applied (with gestures) or added onto, but as growing out of, filling the preliminary sketch as blood fills the body.

It was because of this that you decided beforehand on the development of the sessions. There are rites (spelled) that were used in various civilizations to stand as ceremonial reminders of this covenant. The Incas knew some of these. Christ knew them, but they were thrown away by his followers. The Hebrews knew but distorted the information. The Lumanians knew, but tried to override the body.

Now some strong portions of Ruburt’s energies are already working in your joint behalf. The exercises are important symbolically because they show he is willing to spend time with his body rather than ignoring it. The intent will add to the exercises’ effectiveness. The body will be encouraged to free its rhythms and reestablish its natural ones. Energy will be released, but (smiling) three days is hardly enough for him to expect great results. The results will come from the changed attitudes. These themselves brought about the desire to exercise, and the desire flowed outward from your decisions. Areas of the body are being manipulated and literally washed, that have been relatively untouched and denied energy in the past. The exercises, and again because of the inner interests, will bring about a weight gain, normal bodily weight as the adjustments continue.
