“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It is obvious that the dream images are not responsible to the ego, however. While they contain within them compositions that are also seen in the physical self, these properties appear in different percentages. As leaves bring vital nutrients to the tree trunk, so also do dream images bring nourishment to the personality.

The Jane ego stands further aside. There is an emotional rapport that also carries Ruburt along when my spirits or moods then also sweep him along; and again the Jane ego is content to stand aside. My emotional makeup comes to the foreground at times, of course. Energy is used for such demonstrations, so that it may seem that the material takes second place. But the practice is to the overall advantage of the material.

There is on occasion an extension of self, whereby the Jane ego can also participate, though in a temporarily subordinate manner. The experience is valuable to Ruburt in that he sees that no invasion is involved; and that when his emotions are stilled there is still an emotional reality, as my emotions come to the foreground.

It is unfortunate that the idea of tests often disturbs the flexibility that is necessary in order to achieve results. That is, Ruburt, wanting correct information, (pause) has some tendency to want it so badly that the ego stiffens, forming barriers.
