“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Ruburt was correct. He did receive what he prefers to think of as a flash from me tonight. His dream was a mixture of telepathy, and this legitimate telepathic message was colored by the other elements that made up the dream, and this was subconscious fantasy. That is, he wove a dream about a legitimate telepathic communication.

At the precise time of Ruburt’s dream, your friend Miss Callahan had, or rather was, deciding to leave this plane. Ruburt received this message directly. The unwillingness on Miss Callahan’s part represented of course her present personality’s protest against the change that a deeper part of herself deemed necessary and proper.

It was Miss Callahan’s discovery that she needed operations on both eyes that caused this deeper decision. Miss Callahan herself was conscious of natural dismay over the projected operations. When she told Ruburt of the operations, Ruburt leapt to the conclusion that this was the meaning of the dream, and that the dream data had been incomplete.

I think that before tonight, subconsciously Ruburt knew the true meaning of the dream. Part of the subconscious fantasy in the dream was of course valid, representing a watered-down version of the actual communication. For example, Miss Callahan’s black apparel. She had been preparing herself since she learned of the operations’ necessity for her own departure. Yet consciously of course, she was ignorant of her own inner decision, and this is always absolutely necessary.

I suggest a break. The material is such that it is difficult. I do not want to overstrain Ruburt with it.

Now my dear friends, you are doing very well. Joseph, get your Ruburt his dowels this weekend. You will find your living arrangements much more adequate now. The changes are worthwhile. Without them you would begin thinking of more severe changes that might be convenient some time but would only be disruptive now.

You might even make a reasonable, and I mean reasonable, Ruburt, list of preferred circumstances such as shelves built, rooms painted and so forth, and carry them out yourselves. Whatever if anything now daily aggravates you, change these things and you will be amazed at your added peace of mind. I would have thought that you would have hit upon the entryway idea yourselves; something to keep your psychic energies contained, and again it is the feeling that the entryway gives you rather than the entryway itself, and the feeling that a desk and chair in another room gives Ruburt, rather than the desk and chair itself.

I also suggest strongly that Ruburt resume writing down his dreams and putting the notebook by his bedside.
