“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

My fine sniffler. I do not know which matter to discuss first. Our Ruburt’s dreams, or your recent reaction to them, Joseph .

The second dream is an excellent example of a therapeutic dream that results from self-suggestion. Ruburt requested a therapeutic dream from his inner self, and he received one.

I am happy to see that Ruburt tried out the material that I gave on the matter, and that he put it to the test. We will go rather deeply into this dream. However first we shall speak about the first dream, for they are indeed connected.

Indeed, Ruburt is correct in one respect at least, for the first dream, concerning the voices, was meant to be a therapeutic dream. However his own doubts changed the action within the dream, and he reacted to his doubts and ignored the earlier portion of the dream entirely.

There were four voices, all male. Three of these were the voices of personalities who no longer exist within the physical system, but which were closely allied with Ruburt in past lives. The fourth voice was my own. This was an attempt to build his confidence, and to show him how clearly reception can be if his abilities are fully utilized.

This realization made the following dream, the second dream, possible. But the following dream would not have been possible without the first. The second dream is a dream of expansion. We will discuss it from two levels. The most meaningful level was one in which the many rooms represented psychic areas of development, endless possibilities that continually opened; but possibilities which were based on previous life experiences, and there are many aspects of reincarnational data in this dream, all reinforcing the healthy aspects of Ruburt’s personality.

Give us a moment again, and we will try to pick them up now. (Pause at 9:50. Jane, her eyes still closed, wagged a finger at me.) Ruburt was correct, Joseph. You should not have given your impressions.

Ruburt gets the child who is squalling below in the lower apartment, and it is no help. But we shall try harder in our own way.

Two people, as in a negative. Ruburt thinks of his aunt and uncle in New York. This is an associative connection on Ruburt’s part. (Pause.)

We will now end our session. I hope to finish the material concerning Ruburt’s dream, however. I would give it now, but I imagine that you are weary.

The older people represented the dentist’s in-laws, and the distortion occurred here, for Ruburt picked up correctly the idea of parents, but thought they were your own.

There was a very slight connection with your own parents, however, in that Ruburt mentioned the dentist and the trance to them at their latest visit here. And a secondary connection with a car—not close, not a close connection—in which your parents traveled on that occasion.

My heartiest regards, and my particular regards to Ruburt, who is following through in good humor.

You had the particular reaction because you misinterpreted an element of Ruburt’s dream, of which you knew, but I believe you had forgotten it.

You should be able to see that Ruburt has grown intellectually, emotionally, and psychically, as a result of the sessions, as have you. Not only has his inner self expanded, but his ego has become stronger, even while it has become more flexible. So there is no need for your concern in that regard.

The sneezing was a panic reaction. Naturally you do not want to hurt Ruburt in any way, and you felt somewhat responsible because in his dream he could not turn off the radio which represented his abilities.
