“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The sun will shine upon you whether or not you think you had a good day or a bad day, and it will shine upon “the sinner” and the religious man; it will shine upon you without judgment. As I have said, animals have an inbuilt sense of their own worth in that regard. They trust their nature, and the greater nature from which their existence springs.

Each person’s nature, however, innately possesses all of the qualities and characteristics necessary to bring about its own fulfillment. It will automatically find frameworks that are suited to it, though perhaps to no others. When that nature is trusted, there are no interior impediments or conflicts, even though the individual may feel himself to be in conflict with certain elements in the world at large.

The visual activity itself stimulates different portions of the psyche, and allows mental concepts to be rearranged while he is thus occupied. New intuitional insights grow while he is not thinking in those terms, and if he trusted his nature more fully he could enjoy the painting more while also realizing that other levels of the self had their own reasons. The impulse to paint, therefore, fits in with the same kind of spontaneous “discipline” that is so magnificent in the activity of the body.
