“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Autohypnosis then will be utilized in an effort to discover what experiences are common in various levels or trance states, and these shall be examined in a search for primary and secondary conditions. These experiments however are for the future. Some of the data I will give you as a guide, but much you shall do on your own. There is no way to probe the realities of consciousness except that a personality travels through all levels of consciousness open to him, and do so in such a way that he can retain and apply the information that he receives in these inner travels.

And now, if Ruburt worries that he does not carry his share of the work load, because you spend so much time typing our sessions, then the work of typing the dream experiences, both his and your own, shall be his. These dream records shall be kept continually throughout the years, and will yield valuable information. Information, incidentally, that can stand quite on its own regardless of my connection with it, and it shall be added to your life’s work.

He is still dependent upon it symbolically, however, generally speaking. The inner ego however can be utilized in such a dissociated state as such a director of activities, with sufficient training. I must emphasize that indeed years of training are required. But then the experience is ten times more rewarding and informative.

This idea is not fully developed however, and is in the future, but we should work out a definite plan along these lines. And for curiosity’s sake, Ruburt may send you a message in such a manner, which he has of course earlier written out and concealed, and you may do the same, as a warming-up exercise.

He has told someone else of these particular experiments with us, and that person is particularly aware of him this evening. (Pause.)

The other person, a male, is an excellent receiver, by the way, and is partially in contact with Dr. Instream this evening. Whether or not he is consciously aware of this, I do not know.

This other man is at a party of sorts, a gathering. (Pause at 10:07.) Dr. Instream’s own experiments in hypnosis are now going well, and he received a particular communication yesterday in regard to them. Either then, or the communication was sent yesterday.

He appears unusually tired this evening. He says “Now see here, Seth, let’s have something definite,” and puts his hand out, like this.

I pick up also the number 5. Something to do with a document. He turns to the left now, and reaches up high, and takes down an object. (Pause.) Oval, with initials on it, or I am connecting the initials with it. It was given to him by the man with whom he was speaking the other evening, by the water, as we mentioned then.
