“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

A small note here, mentioning a fact of which Ruburt is surely now aware. The momentary difficulty in the short story that he did not finish was simply caused by a very temporary relapse because of pressure: He did not wait for his subconscious to deliver an idea, as he has been long accustomed to doing.

Earlier I mentioned fire, which was intellectually grasped by man and therefore materialized in the world of matter. Previously the dream world symbolically used fire only in terms of its power to transform matter. Man was not able to see fire earlier in terms of beneficial warmth or comfort. He could not for example in his dream universe then manipulate fire, except in terms of what he considered destruction.

With his intellectual appreciation of the benefits of fire that followed his physical mastery of it, then his dream universe became enriched with a new freedom. This is but one simple example. While development of the two universes overall is parallel, no exact evenness in all respects is achieved. That is, a concept may be brilliantly alive in the dream universe but unexpressed physically, or for one reason or another an intellectual comprehension in the physical universe may not find expression in the dream universe. But overall there is parallel development.

Ruburt’s own experiments with predictions will accelerate his ability to let longer segments, concerning any one particular prediction, in our sessions to come through. You have received some quite legitimate bits and pieces, but the data have not been correctly correlated in your terms, so that you do not know how to put them together. But with practice there will be better, and if you will excuse the pun, more predictable results.

(I presume Seth’s congratulations to me refer to the accelerated rate of my painting sales, since I began to put some of his advice to use. Sales have been growing, much to my surprise. Indeed, I now have two advance orders for work not yet finished; this is the first time I have been in such a pleasant position, as far as selling paintings goes.)
