“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This afternoon and evening, and somewhat to my surprise, Jane has been talking about discussing her physical symptoms in her new book, God of Jane. I thought her changed attitude stemmed from her long phone conversation with Tristine Rainer, of Dan Curtis Associates, a television production company that wants to option her life story. [See the notes for the deleted session for August 20, 1979.] They wrote August 8. If her life story were ever to be filmed, the symptoms would have to be considered, we found ourselves thinking. They are obviously a strong part of the drama of the whole thing.)

(Pause.) You could not treat your paintings as products in the marketplace. Though you worked in the art department, you did not want to rub up against your fellows quite that closely (with amusement). You were interested not only in a painting, and the painting’s origin, but in your origin as an artist, and in all of those relationships that are involved between the perceiver and the object, that then is turned into the artist’s model. You were looking for a larger framework of existence itself, from which to view the reality with which you were familiar.
