“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Form, shape and color—these at first delighted you as you tried to reproduce on paper what you saw in nature. Intuitively any real artist feels the spirit within matter, and unconsciously at least tries to portray it. Some so-called objective painters, however, use the form to quite imprison the spirit within it. Your friend Larry (Herschaft) was quite perceptive, and your Dialogue sketches and the rock (face) show on your part a growth qualitatively of artistic understanding, and technique used to the service of inner realities.

I have heard each of you say, at one time or another, that you did not know if you would do it over again—if you knew that Ruburt would have developed his physical difficulties. Unthinking statement, for many people—in fact, most—have in their own ways far more difficult problems, and far less achievement, joy or understanding. In other words, by the fact of physical existence, you will have some problems. In your cases you knew that the answers were ultimately within yourselves—a confidence few have.
