“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Nerve patterns are indeed very important here, and mechanisms of metabolism. An understanding of the methods used by the dreamer to construct dream images will, however, allow you to understand more clearly those other constructions. The chemical percentages are important here; that is, the chemical percentages vary from those found in the body during what you call normal states of consciousness.

The evening hours are best, and it was for this reason that I chose them. By this hour there is apt to be a stability of electromagnetic properties, though of course this is not always the case. Since all things have an electrical and chemical reality, the food that you eat is also important, and it is for this reason that I made certain suggestions concerning your diet.

The dream images are indeed extensions, not only of the psychic or inner self, but a definite extension of the electromagnetic and chemical properties that operate through the physical self. It is indeed as if extensions of nerve endings reached out in self-expansion, making new connections, and this is indeed what occurs in the creation of dream images.

The Instreams did not consider going to York Beach. Neither was their visit a complete coincidence, although it might seem so. All experiences have an electrical reality. Your experiences at York Beach had such a reality, and having met you, not Dr. Instream but his wife unconsciously picked up this connection, and responded to it.

(It was 10:11 PM. Jane sat quietly, her eyes closed. Actually her pause was quite brief. Her head was down, a hand to her face. Jane used many pauses delivering the following material, and I will indicate a few of them. I had the impression that she was being careful in what she said, but not that she was particularly nervous.)

A passage which has been in his mind. I have an impression of the number 218. I do not know to what it refers. A page number, an address, or simply the digits.

I also have the impression of rubber, but do not know to what this refers. An item of value, and necessary precautions.

(Break at 10:25. Jane was dissociated as usual. She said she did not feel particularly nervous while delivering the material on Dr. Instream. Her eyes had remained closed, her voice quiet. She had a vague memory of what she had said.

(Five items could be the station wagon, a cup of coffee, a pile of bricks, paint-stained khakis, and the world itself; but this is open to other interpretations, we would say. A strongly circular design I interpret as the world. I interpret the impression of rubber as referring to the rubber band that held the manuscript together in the file drawer. I do not know what to make of the reference to hills, unless it is a rather far-out connection with the “pile of bricks” simile in the script.

(During break I asked Jane to discuss why I picked the particular photograph of York Beach to use in the test for August 23. At the time I made up the envelope the Instreams were already on their way to York Beach; I wondered what lines of communication had been open.
