“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Then, Jane in the same dream found herself in an old persons’ home. She opened the door into a room containing one full-sized bed and another adult, though smaller, bed. Jane’s friend Dee Masters, who had once been director at the gallery where Jane works, and who has been dealt with by Seth at various times, was doing something at an agitator-type washing machine. Jane also fussed with the machine, and a small quantity of water dropped from it onto the floor. Jane then had the feeling that somehow she, Jane, was the old woman who had died.

(On September 9 Jane dreamed that she spoke to two sick men, saying to them, “Don’t worry. The material says I have cancer too.” Meaning the Seth material, of course. Jane said the puzzling thing about this little dream was that in spite of its unpleasant content she felt no sense of alarm or danger or worry, that indeed she spoke to the two men quite cheerfully. She is concerned, though, wondering if the dream might be precognitive.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

Instead I would like to give you some more material dealing with mental enclosures. These are in some respects a different sort of camouflage, a self-formed, artificial and only partial enclosure, a beneficial psychic device within which the inner self momentarily and temporarily gathers and holds and collects as much psychic energy about it as it is capable of receiving, utilizing, and also withstanding. The mental enclosure in most cases is self-limiting then, since it represents a setting up of barriers on all sides but one. But it is limiting only for the ultimate purpose of intense concentration of energy, resulting in a burst or expansion of this energy that has been transformed and pressurized, so to speak, into new patterns.

And in this mental enclosure, also, the energy which is received is then momentarily held and transformed, either into matter or into other aspects. For the record, you realize that when I speak of consciousnesses I do not refer to that conscious ego, but rather to inner consciousness, that then helps form the material image.

I will here mention Ruburt’s dream, in which he spoke reassuringly to two men who were ill with cancer by telling them that this material said that he too had cancer.

(See the details of Jane’s dreams, detailed on page 5. For more data on the immediate past lives of Jane and mine in Boston, before the Civil War, see the 59th session, Volume 2, page 140. Our relationship with Dee Masters, mentioned by Seth in this session, is also dealt with briefly in the 59th session.)

(“Good night, Seth.”

(End at 11:15. Jane was once again far-out, losing track of the content of the material. We had barely begun to discuss the dream material when she abruptly began dictating again while sitting across from me at the table. Resume at 11:18.)

I would add one remark. In the dream Ruburt said the material told him that he had cancer, because in a previous life he did have clairvoyant knowledge, through his psychic ability, of his future disease; and since his psychic ability has only lately come to light with this material, you can see the connection.
