“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Even within the experience of men there are realities that are entirely different from the realities of physical objects. Psychological experience is one such indisputable reality. Ideas are another, and dreams are still another. Secondary effects of such realities may appear in material form, but the original reality of such experiences cannot be captured within physical matter.

(At 9:15 there was a knock on the door. Jane stopped dictation in the middle of a sentence. She looked at me wordlessly as I walked toward the door, but before I reached it I heard her say, “I’m all right now.”

(It was the paperboy. I paid him, and both of us joked with him for a minute or two before he left. Jane’s manner was her regular one. After the boy had gone Jane said his knock stopped her delivery abruptly, but that she did not come out of the light trance quickly enough to go immediately to the door. She could have, however, within thirty seconds, she said.

You do indeed give them energy, as they also give you energy. Dreams, or the dream universe, exists even while you wake, and you only become aware of certain portions of it even while you sleep. You do create it, but it is also to some degree independent of you. As your ego experiences changes in its relationship with the physical world, so do you change aspects of the dream world accordingly, and enrich it.

(Break at 9:42. Jane was dissociated as usual. After some thought she said she was aware that she was speaking in a strong voice, during dictation. But she had no sense of quickly passing time like that she had experienced in the last session.

I cannot impress upon you too strongly that imagination is another such basically nonphysical reality, with a basis however, and interrelationship, in both dream and matter. Again, its effects may appear within matter but it is of itself not composed of matter.

These realities, because of their continuing effects within your system, and their actual transformation of it, should be studied thoroughly, for much can be gained in this way. Like transformations are made by events in your universe upon the dream universe. Often, again, the dream universe possesses concepts which will, some day, completely transform the history of your field; but a denial of such concepts as actualities or possibilities within reality, hold these back, and put off breakthroughs that are sorely needed.

It might be said then, that in many ways the dream universe depends upon you to give it expression, in the same manner that you also depend upon it to find expression, although in this case you have other outlets, and it has few. The impact of any given dream has physical, chemical, electromagnetic, psychological and psychic repercussions. These are also actual and continuing, and they not only represent a part of your environment in all of these cases, but they affect most deeply the ordinary channels of everyday life.

(December 21, Monday, 8:15 PM: Interrupted by baby crying downstairs, but prior to this a good state achieved. I saw a few figures, male and female.
