“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. First of all, my greeting to Marleno. She is always welcome. There is on her part a block, that operates in much the same manner as Ruburt’s ego on occasion, as far as our sessions are concerned. This is caused by an inner willingness to believe, though this is a bad word, in the legitimate nature of my existence; a willingness however that is sometimes so desperate, if you will forgive the term, and so wholehearted, that it sets up automatic barriers on the part of other portions of the personality.

Now, this same sort of emotional system operates in the sleeping state as well as in the waking state, though there are differences in that the personality will allow greater leeway in the dream state. But even in the sleeping condition, as should be obvious, the individual accepts and attracts certain experiences and blocks out others. You know that telepathy and clairvoyance operate rather freely in the dream state. However the nature of such experiences is strongly dependent upon the particular emotional system that is characteristic of any given personality.
