Seth dictates the last part of the introduction to Jane’s book “The World View of Paul Cezanne”
Paul Cézanne worldview
Seth: I simply want to emphasize the fact that thoughts are living, not passive. They are not collected, like rocks. They are more like butterflies.
Each individual uses a precise consciousness to “paint” the events in the foreground of reality, focusing on details while taking the background for granted.
One could say that Paul Cézanne outgrew the canvas of his earthly experience.
Living a life, however, is in itself an art form of far greater stature.
This manuscript is intended to highlight this multidimensional but unique earthly existence, the art of living on earth, in which all readers of this book participate.

The Cezanne view, a Seth session
The change of a painting by the interpretation of the viewer; the art of earth life
(The following words were given to Rupert)
(I simply want to emphasize the fact that thoughts are living, not passive. They are not collected, like rocks. They are more like butterflies. Roberts momentarily then left the framework of her own psychological reality, and used Cezanne rather than Roberts as the organizing impetus, so that the contents of the mind were rearranged and Cezanne’s picture of the world was transposed over Roberts’ own.
Again, thoughts are electromagnetic. The Roberts’ view of reality and the Cezanne view to some extent merged through thoughts’ attracting properties. The Cezanne view was momentarily imprinted, or stamped, or stained, or cast upon the Roberts mind, but in an active interplay, so that, for example, the Cezanne world view was also altered.)

Paul Cézanne worldview, a Seth Session
This session was given in relation to a book by Jane Roberts called “The worldview of Paul Cezanne: A Psychic Interpretation”
Good evening: Cézanne (whispers)
(“Good evening, Seth.”)
Give us a moment …
However, Paul Cézanne’s view of the world was changed only in the way that a painting might be said to be changed by the interpretation of the viewer.
In this case, however, the Roberts mind did not rely on physical visualization, but on a wider range of inner senses with which Cézanne’s worldview could play. At no point in his life was Paul Cézanne aware of his worldview and saw it clearly because it did not exist in its entirety in a way that he could have consciously grasped.
It consisted of his thoughts and feelings, but it was also based on the general attitudes and ideas on which his conscious life was based. It is not that the conscious mind is unaware of such unconscious activities because of some innate blindness. It is simply that each individual uses a precise consciousness to “paint” the events in the foreground of reality, focusing on details while taking the background for granted.
The reality of Paul Cézanne continues. One could say that he outgrew the canvas of his earthly experience. Parts of his worldview exist physically expressed in his paintings, in the form of the art to which he devoted his life.
Living a life, however, is in itself an art form of far greater stature. This manuscript is intended to highlight this multidimensional but unique earthly existence, the art of living on earth, in which all readers of this book participate.
End of the introduction. Give us a moment now.
