“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The same ingredients of your lives, yes, but with different light thrown upon them, so that newer understandings can sometimes appear that were not clear before. Such a possibility is feasible, containing in fact many desirable—and most desirable—elements; the presentation of a second frame of reference, a second environment that would still be your own. Period. The probability is in fact most intriguing, since it would offer you a home away from home that would still represent largely an investment rather than primarily an expenditure —as would, say, a series of vacations. A place of relative privacy, and yet one in which you would not be unknown or isolated, one in which in fact the 458 West Water Street connections would continue to operate, with Paul of course as mediator. (We had lived at 458, three blocks from downtown Elmira.)

In a fashion this would indeed represent a very desirable arrangement over a period of years, one that Ruburt could take advantage of, one that could serve you by also presenting you with a different framework through which to view your painting and visual world, one in which the idea of water as motion was always present.

I am of course quite aware of the danger of flooding that can occur under such circumstances, but I would like you both, as freely as you can, to explore that consideration. It does represent a rather significant probable development. Any decision is of course your own—but the overall willingness to explore the creativity possible in such a probability is perhaps more important than any choice you make.

(Long pause.) Animals massage each other, and also use touch healing, and these activities represent the natural characteristics available in the “animal family,” as well as occurring naturally in the family of man. Animals playing are always exchanging healing transformations of energy from one to the other. Your own feelings connecting your hands, therefore, are quite pertinent and significant. Some people are more aware than others of such connections. They have been frowned upon in your society, however, so they are most often repressed.
