“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(On September 7 Jane had an odd dream. In it she was aware of an old woman, but not of her personal presence, of 83 or 85. The old woman had just died, yet her last day was filled with activity and work. She was a medium, and she passed from life to death with a smooth transition, continuing her work almost without interruption after death. Jane envied her greatly.

(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.

I would also have greeted Ruburt’s father, but indeed I was not invited to join the graceful family circle. I would not be one to upset such a quiet gathering. The woman, seriously, has found some comfort with Ruburt’s father, but the personality is in sore trouble, and explosive. I will not devote any more time to this subject now.

The comprehension of itself and its workings, being an attribute and everywhere a part of energy, cannot be therefore pointed at, and is in no way distinguishable from energy itself, being a part and not an addition. It is distributed therefore throughout energy, or within it, in much the same way that creative ability is distributed throughout or within, say, a particular personality.

The results of it can be perceived in the actions carried out by a given personality, but as you cannot separate creative ability, or take it out of an individual for examination, so you cannot separate comprehension of itself from energy.

The entity, each entity, was formed in this manner, it in turn sending out its creations in terms of other personalities, and these personalities sending forth their own psychic as well as physical constructions. When I spoke of energy being transformed within the mental enclosure, I mentioned that it was transformed into matter, but also into other constructions.

He threw this thought back to his personal subconscious, but by association it triggered memory of a previous death by cancer, which was then played back through the dream. But even then the reassuring dream came first. In the first dream, he was aware that the woman worked and was constructive until the last, and also that she passed the transition with little personal jolting.

The men, reassured by Ruburt in the dream, appeared without being old, although the original event of the past life involved men in their 70’s. This was a distortion of the personal subconscious, to add to the seeming separateness of the two dreams.

A point here: It is not understood at all that the uppermost or personal layer of the subconscious is concerned with maintaining the autocratic control and position of the conscious ego. Its inhibitions always are intended to protect the ego.

The dream sequence for that group of days involved perception, first, of Ruburt’s actual previous death, and then leaped that same evening back further to much earlier events. The purpose of the whole sequence was reassuring, and in overall nature had to do with the personality’s inner reaction to the season of an approaching winter and the ever symbolic death that it suggests.

There is no point in giving you a superficial analysis, since dreams usually impart knowledge that can be utilized by several levels of the personality; though consciously the information perceived and brought into meaningful context by the subconscious may not be at all comprehensible to the ego, it is nevertheless utilized by the whole personality.
