Seth: You can gain the world and lose your soul, and so I ask you what is most important to you.
You are missing a very important point. You have something that many people would give their lives for, and you are ignoring it.
Many people, even rich ones, are lonely, desperate and feel empty inside because they do not have the gift of communicating their image of reality to others.
They are unable to create a unique, precious and individual vision that is in some way their own.
They have no way to share their joy or sorrow. They do not know how to communicate sincerely with others.
Well, you have the gift of communicating in this way and transforming what seems to be an island of yourself into a continent of creativity, enriching the lives of others.
No matter how big or small your talent, it is your connection with the life force and the source of your being.
Now, in your dull moments, realize what a gift you have and how it sets you apart from all other people, and be grateful for it and use it.
Session 517 The Seth Multiverse
Seth Session
Art is not a specifically human endeavor, though man likes to believe that this is so. Art is above all a natural characteristic.
Seth: “All creatures of whatever degree have their own appreciation of esthetics. Many such creatures merge their arts so perfectly into their lives that it is impossible to separate the two: the spider’s web, for example or the beaver’s dam – and there are endless other examples. This is not “blind instinctive behavior” at all but the result of well-ordered spontaneous artistry.
Art is not a specifically human endeavor, though man likes to believe that this is so. Art is above all a natural characteristic. I try to straddle your definitions – but flowers, for example, in a fashion see themselves as their own artistic creations. They have an esthetic appreciation of their own colors – a different kind, of course, than your perception of color. But nature seeks to outdo itself in terms that are most basically artistic, even while those terms may also include quite utilitarian purposes. The natural man, then, is a natural artist.”
