“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

“Another great dream of Rob’s. In our sessions lately Seth has been talking about the natural self or natural person, saying that it is also the magical person. In this dream Rob is in the process of working out that idea, visually. [...] At dream’s end Rob says that the head was almost too youthful for the body he’d drawn — maybe a reminder that the natural person is younger in ways than the intellectual self. I think that Rob is himself in the dream, represented by the super character as the magical self; and also that he is the assistant who had prepared the figure’s head.

[...] I’m not sure of the connection unless it means that at the time he knew Tom, as youthful artists both Rob and Tom believed in the magical aspects of life — which now come to Rob’s aid, assisting him by drawing the character’s head.”

[...] The transposition of the flowered designs of bedsheets to sheets of paper is great; Rob chose a sketch pad rather than, say, typing paper, I think, because painting is his art while Mary’s is writing. [...] Maybe by using his own art symbol, the sketch pad instead of the typing paper, Rob reinforced the idea of Mary’s conflicts about the nature of her own work.

[...] She sounded very down; Rob, who also talked to her, agreed. [...]

In this dream Rob and I were both men in our late twenties and partners in the episode. I knew very well that we would “later” end up as Rob and Jane in this life, even though there was no physical resemblance. Rob, for example, was dark and swarthy, although now his skin and hair are both light. [...]

In dismay, I heard Rob snoring. [...]

[...] I thought of waking Rob to tell him, but decided not to interrupt his sleep.

In a sort of backhanded compliment, Seth asked Rob to tell me that my abilities were improving—it was a well-made thought-form. [...]

[...] Nevertheless there must also be balance, for to close yourself off too much robs you of any abundant expansion of spirit.

Now if I gave a note to Rob, I give one to you. [...]

By then, of course, Rob and I felt a strong commitment to the sessions. [...] Now we hold them in Rob’s back studio. [...]

[...] I wrote the dreams down in my notebook which was on the bedside table, and then, to make sure, I awakened Rob and told him the dreams also. Rob pointed out that the first dream and one of the others were definitely related. [...]

[...] In 1966, portions of the sessions were also given over to the clairvoyant experiments, and much of Rob’s time was taken over in writing up the results. [...]

[...] Rob moves my favorite rocker in. [...]

1. Rob should express his love verbally, as well as his concern.

2. Rob’s loving encouragement. [...]

Rob always enjoyed excellent health, but in 1963 he came down with severe back trouble. [...]

This next is not as good a poem, aesthetically, as the others, but it was written to Rob and clearly shows the growing sense of panic with which I viewed the passing years. [...]

To Rob

[...] This automatically presents the material in order, preserving the sense of continuity, and serves as a progressive, subjective journal of dream experiences as Rob and I, and later my students, followed Seth’s suggestions. [...]

3. Following Seth’s material in these paragraphs, then, there are of course a number of other Janes and Robs busily living out their lives in a cluster of associated probable realities — and all of those Janes and Robs are just as real to Seth as we are. [...]

[...] Perhaps Seth likes some of those other versions of ourselves more than he does us. ( I didn’t ask him if I was right, though.) It might even be that his favorite Jane inhabits one probable reality, his favorite Rob another. [...] Moreover — what do all of those other Janes and Robs think of their Seths? [...]

8. Appendix 18 for Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality contains much material “on the complex relationships involving Jane-Ruburt-Seth [and also Rob-Joseph].” [...]

For example, I’ll see, say, Rob’s head with our floor stand growing out of it into a new kind of object.... [...]

[...] Rob very supportive.

“This is another terrific dream, continuing the one in the last session, in which Rob was constructing an image of the magical self — seeing it as a kind of Captain Marvel character. [...]

[...] Gus, the neighbors’ dog, in an intense desire to get the food Rob holds, walks right through the glass door — signifying the importance of desire in bringing about the magical satisfaction of needs. [...]

“At the same time, it’s Rob’s usual self, learning from the creature-magical self, who then ‘gets the evidence,’ enlarges the magical hole in the glass; signifying two things — that the so-called usual consciousness can learn from the magical part, follow its lead and therefore catch itself ‘performing miracles.’

“Later in the dream Rob is reminded of this incident by something someone says, either on TV or in the room — signifying a different mobility of consciousness, almost a dream within a dream, and also establishing the fact that physical and magical events are related.

Three days later, Rob walked into the bathroom, suddenly blacked out by the bathroom sink and fell unconscious to the floor. If I had heeded the dream and told Rob, could the incident have been prevented? Had I told Rob, I now think that through dream therapy or in a light trance state he could have discovered the reason behind the symptoms and saved himself a difficult time.

I came into Rob and Jane’s apartment and walked into a Seth session. I sat next to Rob, who was transcribing notes, as usual. [...]

[...] One night, in the early days of our psychic experience, I dreamed I saw Rob standing by the kitchen sink. [...] I didn’t even tell the dream to Rob.

[...] Then I “remembered” that there was another radio in Rob’s studio. [...]

[...] I have no doubt that if Rob had questioned me I would have been able to describe the room. [...]

[...] Had Rob asked questions about the room, or had someone asked again about the young man’s mother’s maiden name [asked earlier] I am certain that Seth could have given the information—that “I” would have gone out after it while he spoke and controlled the mechanism. [...]

[...] I couldn’t tell Rob about them until our breaks, of course, and indeed, they are nearly impossible to describe. The nearest I can come is to say that as this information was being given verbally to Rob, it was given to me in a different way also. [...]

[...] As he has done since the beginning, Rob sat with pen and paper, taking verbatim notes. [...]

Toward the end of the session, Rob asked Seth if he’d explain what was happening. [...]

To some extent Rob and I have experienced most of these Inner Senses to some degree. [...]

ROB’S SUGGESTIONS ABOUT

LETTER TO ROB AND JANE (FROM HENRY N. WILLIAMS [HAL])

(“Realize that since ‘79 at least I’ve felt to some degree that I had to protect my work even against Rob, whose ill feeling at Prentice might.... [...] Make Rob ill, or contaminate his feelings towards Mass Events and Seth’s latest book: [See last PM Seth session, which Rob is typing as I write this.]”

[...] Think that Rob’s and my relationship might now achieve new highlights, when suddenly I feel like crying.” [...]

(Now in the very beginning, I felt a sudden need for Rob. [...] I asked mentally if Rob was in any trouble, got no answer. [As I wrote this down, in the second sentence with the * I found myself substituting Rob’s name, no, Walt’s name for Rob’s. Maybe something happened to Walt? [...]

(If it is a death, and in Rob’s family, say of Linda, which I doubt, then why the return name of my mother’s friend? [With whom I was not close?] Maybe one of my nieces, instead of Rob’s? [...]

April 14 Rob decides we really have to do something to tackle my difficulties which have been more than considerable lately, he suggests I call Tam to see when Events is out; or if it is, since April 13 is date of arrival. [...]

Rob and I have had some experience using this Inner Sense. [...]
