“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

First of all the landscape and the surroundings were, indeed, symbolic but they represented to you several things. They represented culture and civilization, both as it has existed in the past, and as you see it in the future. The people within the environment appeared happy because they did not think and everything was done for them and life was, indeed, like an institution and they could not leave.

You felt, you see, that on entering this institution or this culture or civilization, that something had been taken from you symbolized by you as the fluid that was taken from the brain. The fluid represented several things, it represented seminal fluid in terms of creativity and energy. It also represented the water or fountainhead of spiritual creativity so that both ages merged and you felt that this had been drawn out from you in order to keep you contented within this artificial framework. Now you are considering, to some extent, leaving the framework while pretending still to be inside it.

(To Arnold.) The dream was an exquisite creative production, you see, and in a way a commentary from other layers of yourself, not only on the present state of civilization as you see it, but a commentary upon civilizations in the past so that both past and present images were transposed, one upon the other.

Now this bargain does not only have to do with your psychic work but to your entire life situation and in a way you have the same goals but you have a division of labor that you have subconsciously decided upon. You want to be cautious, yet you want to find out what there is about the nature of reality and in this implied bargain you are the one who will make the inroads or seem to go ahead to have the freedom and spontaneity to do so. As our past sessions show in class, you also have a strong sense of responsibility. Now at this time, it seems too much to bear both at the same, and so our friend here is being the critical one for you and then you can free yourself for this trance work knowing that any questions of a critical nature that you might have will be asked by her and, therefore, you will feel free to go ahead.

Now she feels strongly but this is her responsibility, not so much to hold you in line, as to prove to you that you have nothing to fear. That she will be there for you helping the steps out as you go ahead. It is a built in safety system upon which both of you have subconsciously agreed and again this applies to other aspects of your life as well.

Now she also has a great inner interest and so for her and for both of you, you are traveling these inward roads for both of you and she is carrying on the critical aspects for both of you. You could not be burdened if you thought them through with these deep questions of criticism for they could send you back to a rigid attitude. I am saying that you have a good working relationship that will change and be flexible in time.

It is, indeed. You are both doing work for each other.

The both of you may, indeed, do so. At this point it is reflected in all the areas of your life and I thought you should be aware of it. Once you are aware of it, you can change it as you want to.
