“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You may refer here to past sessions dealing with the mechanisms involved. Existence within any field of reality necessitates intensive focus within that field. It involves something like a sleight of hand trick, played by one part of the whole self upon another part. As an actor in a drama goes along with certain acts and gestures that make the play necessary, while at the same time he realizes that the play is a play, he must still focus his attention upon the lines spoken, and use the props available.

In much the same manner, existence within the physical universe involves the most intense self-hypnotic trance, where attention becomes riveted and focused along certain lines while other realities are of necessity closed out of one’s perception and comprehension for a certain while.

Energy cannot be imprisoned for long within one form. The individual whole self, by its very nature, will not restrain itself indefinitely to the particular set of necessities and perceptions necessary for survival within any one given field of reality.

Yet on a deeper level he still retains hold upon other existences, so much so that he even yearns subconsciously for those past realities, which mean safety, since their problems have already been solved. He is unbound emotionally and psychically by physical time, even while his physical body ticks with physical minutes.

He has brownish hair and glasses, and a slight mole on one of his cheeks. He is not even aware of his own feelings in the matter, but considers himself something of a father image as far as Philip is concerned, and feels somewhat betrayed.

For his own reasons Ruburt did automatically receive the correct interpretation for himself. However, I have said that we must deal with words, breaking down symbols first of all.

Nor have we yet discussed those dream elements which have sufficient energy propulsion to maintain existence in the plane upon which they were created. Such material, I am afraid, must wait, as you do not have the necessary background in fundamentals to give it comprehension.

Thoughts and dreams do indeed possess a validity and reality of which the subconscious has always been aware, and there is in some sense a responsibility here involved.

Now, my most fond best wishes, and my congratulations to Ruburt, the old firekeeper, in connection with the furnace. He stokes his own flames fairly well also.
