“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Suggestion then can shape the future. Expectation enters in here particularly of course. Suggestion can shape dreams, and the dreams themselves then operate as action. A strong dream can be a more significant psychic action than any physical experience, and it can change the course of the personality completely.

(The “impression of a seesaw... as a children’s game,” is quite interesting to us, and we believe a good example of the way associative memory can work while also being accurate. At the time of the exhibition I participated in at Bill’s gallery last winter, he had not had the gallery open very long. Building was still going on; in the back room were sawhorses he had borrowed from a carpenter, plus many other tools, scraps of wood, etc. Note that the sawhorse shape and the support for a child’s seesaw would be practically the same. Jane is very attached to playground accoutrements; she has especially fond memories of children’s seesaws and swings. Indeed, playgrounds have an almost mystical significance for her and she uses them often in her paintings.

(The unpleasant event referred to by Seth made several pieces of information given in the test data fall into place for us. The errors in introduction made by Jane at the gallery reception were humorous, but also so obvious that their significance could be hardly missed. One involved a cousin of mine whom we hardly see; the other involved the director of the other gallery in town, the Arnot, for whom Jane had worked until a couple of months before the reception at Bill’s gallery, which we now believe did take place in February.
