“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(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.

(I didn’t linger to confront my own handiwork, but hurried to get my stuff together and leave the house; I wanted to stop at a bank to get a book updated, and I knew this would make me a few minutes late getting to room 330. But I’d had a unique experience, and one I resolved to describe to Jane.

(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.”

(In regard to Seth’s remark, above, that our creative energies would be enhanced with the onset of these latest sessions, here’s the earlier reference he referred to, in the very first session for October 9, 1983: “Your joint creative abilities should also be more aroused because of this session, so that you will have more intuitive breakthroughs on your own, and jointly, that will benefit you both in many ways.” A neat prediction, Jane.)
