“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I went into my studio to get my car keys, etc. Out of the corner of my right eye I caught a glimpse of my oil painting, The Girl with The Violet Eyes, as I call it. It’s of a dream image I had on November 8, 1981, although I didn’t finish the painting until February 1983—one of the last I’ve done.

(At first I thought it was a trick of sunlight—which was quite diluted as it came through the room’s east windows—but all of a sudden I stopped to look at the painting as it sat on the shelf I’d built high up on the south wall just inside the door. For a moment I was almost transfixed—for the painting, I suddenly saw, was alive. The girl’s violet eyes stared down at me as though they would move behind their violet glasses at any moment. I stared. She stared back. And I felt life there. The flesh and hair and sweater looked alive even though they never moved. Yet I half expected them to. It was a meeting of eyes.

(She rotated her arms and hands again as the afternoon passed, after lunch, and so forth. See my own notes for details. I described my experience viewing the paintings to her, and made a mental note to bring the painting in to 330 so she can see it, since her recall of it isn’t too clear. She may have seen it only once or twice, months ago.

(4:19. During our short break I mentioned that it would be nice if Seth would comment on my experience with my paintings this noon. Resume at 4:25.)

Our sessions have put you in a receptive state of mind, so that you were alert to the phenomenon with the paintings. I told you that as a result of the sessions both your and Ruburt’s creative energies would be enhanced, so to some extent that acceleration was responsible for what you “saw.”
