“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The basic and originating dream sequence occurred in that area of the subconscious having to do with past lives, and of course expanded into other areas. The dream was partially triggered, as is often the case between closely related individuals, by Ruburt’s own dream in which the leaking vessel was featured.

Because I have kept you without your break, I will now close the session. I did not want to break the context or the continuity here, and it was much better that Ruburt remain in a constant state of deep dissociation for the most faithful interpretation of the dreams.

You will see from our previous discussion that such a state is by far the most beneficial if a faithful interpretation is to be received. I will continue the session for a few closing remarks after break, if you prefer.

(Actually, I had been well aware that Seth was skipping breaks, and had watched Jane rather closely to see if she became uncomfortable. This was her longest uninterrupted delivery by far since the sessions began last November 1963, and she appeared to go through it without any visible change in manner beyond the quite natural hoarseness toward the end. As for myself, I can state that by the time break arrived my right hand and arm ached all the way up to my shoulder.

(Since Seth had not actually discussed the very beginning of my first long dream, Jane and I spoke of this during break. It was a mistake, for no sooner did the subject come up than Jane began again with but one minute’s rest. As it was, she remained seated at the table, sitting with her eyes closed and her glasses off. Her voice, surprisingly, was quite at ease.)
