“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(At the end of last Saturday’s session, I thought of two questions for Seth. They were based upon his discussion of the Cézanne book, and our changed attitudes, as demonstrated by our sending the books out. Jane suggested I write them down for tonight.

(2. Did Cézanne “himself” have any sense of awareness, or of completion, connected with Jane’s book and the New York City show happening at the same time? Seth had said that William James did, in connection with Jane’s book about him, and his interest in gifted mediums. My own thought at the moment was that something different, or at least not the same, was involved with the Cézanne events—less personal.

Give us a moment.... Ruburt, you see, does not say “I must have a certain new book next week.” He is so sure of his ability that he produces far more books in any given time than the majority of writers. Only his doubts lead him to worry that recovery might take too long. The recovery is taking place now in Framework 2. The now is important.

The Cézanne book, the show, your own interest in Cézanne, and your own painting abilities are also connected in Framework 2, along with the fact that Cézanne himself had a secondary interest in writing, that fell by the board, so to speak. Your own art interests have always attracted artists to our books in general, through Framework 2’s constant communication. There are individuals who go through many lifetimes with one main interest or desire, attaining finally a culmination that they have sought for. Cézanne was such a one. In those terms, his interests are now the same, but he no longer looks upon his historically known works, but considers them as background pieces, so to speak. He paints in another reality to which his own intent has led him, except that his creativity has opened up so that he no longer feels the same need for isolation.
