It turns beams of attention off and on. It has many facets and many volumes and many dimensions. It acts out roles, but the whole self is entire, and every individual innately knows and is intimately familiar with the intents and purposes of the whole self. And in dreams and in intuitions and unspoken thoughts, the individual comes to terms with the whole self, of which it is merely one portion, and not necessarily the dominant portion.

The tub was the unifying symbol of the dream, interpreted by the various levels of the subconscious.

None of us knew of any such meeting at the time of my above dream of September 24, simply because the meeting had not been scheduled yet, or indeed even thought of. And I must admit that such was the involvement in the problem at hand when the family did convene on October 4, that I completely forgot the dreams at the time, never realizing that I had dreamed of a family get-together 10 days before it took place. This clairvoyant aspect of the second dream is discussed by Seth in the following session.)
