“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jason Hatton of Pittsburgh, PA discussed how he had developed his talents after leaving the church and wanting to use these to help others, but mainly being interested in healing. He related a dream in which he went to turn the TV set off, but it stayed on no matter how many times he clicked it off and on. He then put a lead shield over it, but this didn’t help. He lifted the shield to try again to turn the set off and out jumped a shiny, many-tattooed Buddha which started after him. Jason ran upstairs to get a gun and got the feeling the Buddha had run out into the night. Then he woke up.)

(To Jason.) And also because of a deep feeling of goodness and strength and courage over here, but I do not want you to distort what you are getting either. I do not want you to interpret it so strongly along certain lines. It is always when you think that you are most right that you can fall into difficulties. I believe you know this and now I will interpret your dream for it has to do with religion.

Now, the television screen represented your abilities—it transmitted the messages. In the dream you could not turn it off, and you put up a shield. Underneath you are frightened that these abilities will lead you along the paths that you have lead, that despite all your deliberations you will lead to another religion signified by the Buddha. And you are tempted at times to close these off for that reason, but you are also afraid that you have gone so far so quickly that the abilities cannot be closed off, and you cannot close the channel. You are also wondering what thing can come through the channels that you have not anticipated. You are strongly inclined, as you know, toward mystical matters. At the same time, because of your background, you also distrust mystical matters to some extent. You do not want them to pop up again in new guises.

You have done very well. As you know, you are beginning an important venture, and that is why I want you to examine your feelings and motives now. You have done so, but you have not examined the specific attitudes of which I am speaking. You have taken them for granted as beginning in this life and as a result of this life’s experience. Now, you have always been involved with churches, and you are only now learning to relieve inner truths outward without dogma. This also has something to do, as you see, with the dream. You fear again the old bugaboo would return.

(To Rachel.) And I am glad that you almost remembered I gave you that information in the dream the night before. I have been here all night behind this chair smiling particularly at you for various reasons I know that you know. Now you may take your break.

I will bid you all good evening. I expect you all to bring me some good dreams to interpret and expect a good interpretation.
