“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Once again the session was held in our quiet back room. Both of us felt somewhat tired, but attributed it to the weather, which has been cloudy and oppressive for the past few days. Jane and I try to ignore such factors consciously, but have no doubt we feel the psychic effects of weather as much as anybody else.

We will take advantage of it by furthering several of our discussions.

Such a change of focus demands a concentration in one area to the exclusion, as a rule, of other areas. In the waking state you are usually not aware of your dreaming existence. In your dreaming existence your physical environment is replaced by your dream environment. You react to both environments whenever you are concentrated within them. Our study of the dream state will take us into many other discussions, for you will learn much about the nature of uncamouflaged reality.

(We thought our feeling tired nothing unusual, nor had we been concerned at any effect the weather might have upon us. Jane said that the extra long pause listed above was a most unusual one, however, in that it reminded her of being connected with a “dead” telephone. During most pauses, when she is aware of them, she feels that even though she may not be speaking she is still connected with a live source.

(Jane took another pause. The following material began to come through at 9:35 by our clock. Jane took many pauses while delivering it, and until just before break she sat quite still. Her eyes remained closed. Her manner was quiet and deliberate.)
