Think of the energy as radiating outward from the object, giving life to all other things, whether or not many specific objects are to be in any given painting. [...]

[...] Imagine the individual as the center of all life, so that when the painting is completed it automatically suggests the whole universe of which the individual is part. [...]

In the smallest detail of the smallest still life they managed to suggest the reality of the spiritual universe, of which that detail was a part, and through which the energy of the universe spoke.

Very briefly: Instream is astonished at his own opaqueness in life, and the chances that escaped him. [...]

(We should consider such changes as a part of our working life, to provide refreshment; otherwise we just stew because we’re not “creative or working” or whatever....even furniture rearranging or changing whole rooms to different functions can be considered a vacation of a sort, and while I’ve always felt guilty at involving Rob in changing furniture—but do, anyhow.

Give us a moment … The birth of Joseph took place at York Beach with the dancing episode,⁶ so you have in your own experience examples in adult life. [...]

([Phil:] “What purpose did he have coming up to me in this life?”)

He was not a priest in a past life, he was a sailor. [...]

[...] You can also learn more about yourselves by watching your conscious life and the Sumari that you may meet while you are waking. [...]

[...] And yet I will tell you, that as a frivolous female who loved to play with a ball in the bright afternoon and had no chores to perform, seemingly an idle life and seemingly a quite useless personality ....
