“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I would like to continue our discussion concerning the layers of the so-called subconscious, in connection now with a study of dreams.

(Now Jane began to speak with much emphasis, and if anything her voice became a little stronger. She appeared to choose her words with great care. Her delivery did not speed up however.)

(Break at 9:30. Jane was fully dissociated. She said that for some reason she was aware that when the session began she would be “far-out” right away. She had not told me before the session began, but now admitted that she had been very tired by 9 PM, after painting all day. But now she felt fine.

I do not care if this idea now appears impossible or farfetched, either to you and Ruburt or to others. The fact remains that it is so.

(Break at 10:05. Jane was again fully dissociated. She now put her glasses back on. She resumed in the same strong voice, and at a faster rate, at 10:12.)

You know that many, but not all by any means, dream symbols approximately mean the same thing, but only approximately, and only for a particular group of human beings who experienced reality on the physical plane for a comparatively short period. The symbol of fire for example as a dream symbol, simply did not exist in the way that it does now to men born before mankind learned to use fire for warmth, or to cook his food.

For one thing, and I will go into this deeper shortly, those who now know existence on the physical level more or less because of certain cycles lived before on the physical level at about the same historical periods. They possess an inner familiarity, a cohesiveness that belonged to a more or less specific period, and to periods before, where they inhabited the same sort of physical universe.

(Break at 10:46. Jane was dissociated as usual. She said she had indeed painted too long today; but although she was tired before the session began, she feels fine now. She said she could feel Seth close by now, but that he would end the session soon. She resumed in the same forceful manner at 10:49.)

I will now close the session, with my most fond wishes to you both.
