“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The dream data was correct in its bare essentials. Your friend, Miss Callahan, said that she was going away, and that she did not really want to go away. The picture in the dream was partly subconscious guesswork with a touch of clairvoyance. Any such inner communications are basically the same in that they are picked up by the inner senses, whether or not the information is received as a telepathic communication or in terms of clairvoyance. Where a place for example is seen, rather than words being heard, is determined by the receiver of the message.

The actual communication is not in words or pictures. Material from the inner senses is very seldom experienced by the conscious mind in its pure condition. What you get is a hasty twisting of channel, a rather inept and usually somewhat disastrous attempt to pick up this material with the outer senses.

You do not have to learn new things at the same time as you are struggling to exist in a strange environment. After death there is no instant struggle, where birth on your plane involves a pressing, agonizing attempt to get one’s bearings, and learn new patterns of behavior, when there is no time in your sense really to make any mistakes at all. The termination is always easier, believe it or not, than a beginning under such pressing circumstances as survival on a strange camouflage plane.

I have mentioned that the emotions, if you will forgive me, are the tail end of the inner senses. Frank Watts would be aware of the approaching death of a previous child, for example, though not of the approaching death of Miss Callahan at this time. He has been resting. For a while his energies were directed toward your plane in a strong, almost compulsive personal manner, and had Miss Callahan been ill then he would have known.

There are endless planes upon your earth, or rather endless planes occurring simultaneously with your earth. Your solid earth is not a solid to inhabitants of other planes that would seem to take up the same space as your earth. The idea of taking up the same space is erroneous to begin with, but I don’t see how we can avoid such terms and still make any sense to you.

Your particular camouflage pattern is given to solids, among other things, and the idea of solids gives its alternative of something not solid or unfilled, which you call space. Your outer senses are themselves camouflages to deal with, and equipped to perceive, camouflages. On some other planes the camouflage pattern is so different as to be beyond your present comprehension.

I have visited several. It is difficult to put this into words. These planes of which I have spoken have some basic similarity with your own, though the camouflage patterns have no similarity. That is, the similarity is one of organization, a variety of historical continuity, a strong and involved ego mechanism, a complicated camouflage code system; without, however, the dual inner and outer sense of alienation with which your race has become involved.

I do strongly suggest that you begin work with these cards and also (Jane laughed) when you have the time that you continue your own attempt to use the inner senses outside these sessions. And (Jane laughed again) all of this with a balanced social life.
