“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(To Phil) You are learning to tap your life energy, to feel its power, its availability and its strength, and that is good, and do not label it. Know that the energy is there for whatever purpose you desire to use it.

(To Mary Ellen) And in the same way over here, do not be so impatient. You are opening channels. You are clearing them out. You are opening doors to your own perception. Be content with that and do not put so many questions to the voice of the universe when it speaks, and you will get a clearer message. And do not ask for so many specifications.

Now, you have all been changing your relationships, not only because of what has gone on in class physically, but because of what you have been doing in the dream states. And as you know, in another layer of reality, this is the dream state, and in that level of reality I am telling you to remember your dreams, and I have already told you that this evening you will have a class dream session, and this is it. And in this level of reality, I am telling you that you will have a class dream session this evening, and in that other level of reality, you will remember. If you did not insist upon setting up so many divisions, you could see far more clearly. I ask you to do things  (to Gert) in a minute I will be with you—all of you, and some of you do these things and some do not.

As you all know, you can become as conscious sleeping, and you do, as you are in the normal state, or now when you listen to me. But, if you go to bed this week each night with the idea that you are not sleeping in the terms in which you usually accept that term, but you are instead changing the focus of your consciousness and that you will be as much awake and consciousness, then you will become aware of what you do consciously when you sleep. And you can all  (to Sheila), all  succeed to some extent or another in this experiment, and anything you learn or remember, or take back with you, will be more than worth your while. I cannot impress upon you too deeply the validity of both these existences, that you consider dual.

Now, I would like you to do this for the week, seriously and on your own. Make the effort. It is within each of your abilities to do this.

([Gert:] “When I do this mirror trance, I’m getting an image on the wall behind me of my ‘Golden Boy.’ Is that a projection of my inner self?”)

It does not, indeed. It means alternate focus of consciousness, in other kinds of realities that do exist within your own. But your experience in them will be highly colored by you, as your experience here is colored by you.

I am saying in this physical reality you look about you en masse and you see a variety of objects upon which you all agree. But within that context, your experience is far different. Some of you find a joyful world, and some of you are pursued by evil. Your experience dictates what you make of the objects that exist as root assumptions within this reality. Now, in other realities and in the Alpha state, there are certain root assumptions like your objects, but you will perceive these again in your own individual manner, and you must learn to differentiate there as you do here. And some of you do not always learn how to differentiate. This is to you (Sue) in one specific instance, for there is one area in which you do not realize you are projecting. It is to everyone, but it is to you (Sue) in this instance.

([Sue:] “Uh, do you mean that in our terms you were there?”)

Now, all of you who come to this class, to one degree or another—to one degree or another have one thing in common—you are not afraid of the unknown. It intrigues you. You are adventurous as far as the unknown is concerned, and you are determined to seek it out and make it known. You are trying to do just that.

(To Bette.) So do not turn aside from that endeavor, and again do not judge the information that you get in the terms in which you are used to judging it. There is a validity to the information that you received, and accept that validity. Accept it, and realize that the nature of its validity will come to you. Do not insist it must necessarily mean that this is completely your imagination, or hogwash, or that it is the God’s truth on the other hand, and that there is nothing but an abyss between. You have picked up legitimate information. You have perceived and to some extent had the sensations of the personality that was Dolly Madison. Your Jason tried to give you this information in the clearest way that he could. But because you insist it must be one thing or another, legitimate reincarnational information or complete fantasy, there was no way he could give you this information clearly, except in the way that he gave it to you. So do not thrust it aside and do not blame your Jason or yourself, but be thankful for what you have, which is valid information. You have a close affinity with that personality and there were some strong connections between you and that personality, and it is for this reason that you were able to pick up the sensations and emotions so strongly. There is still, however, some conscious control and questioning on your part that inhibit the details that you receive so that they must be given in a certain fashion, and this is also understandable and a part of your progress. So do not throw out the baby with the wash water. It is clean, good water, and I see we are going to have a sphinx in class, and that is something new.

In one manner of speaking, of course, the change has already occurred, and we are speaking of ancient knowledge. And that ancient knowledge is dependent upon what was done here, and in some few other groups, and in what is being done in the dream state throughout the world. You may say it has been done, for it has. But in your reality you are doing it now. So be brave.
