“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

This business of primaries and secondaries will concern us for some time, and in more ways than you suppose. For we are outlining the stages of an investigation of the nature and conditions of consciousness.

Whether or not you realize it, you have already begun such an investigation, and Ruburt’s careful notes and recordings of his dreams, over nearly a three-year period, and your own dream recordings, are only the beginning.

So far you have analyzed these dreams as best you could, but soon you will begin to look at them in a new way. The dream experiments with the recorder will be much more proficient. These investigations will also deal with a systematic examination into all levels of consciousness.

You will learn to take a certain portion of purpose with you through suggestion, so that you can attempt to enlarge the dream space of which you are first aware. You can extend it in other words. The investigation will always be concerned with the search for primaries and secondaries. On many occasions an apparent primary reality will later be seen to be secondary, as a result of experiments with the trance state.

The investigation will allow you to probe into the realities of conscious wakefulness, extending your sensual perceptions so that you can probe further outward into physical reality. This is indeed an ambitious project. We shall proceed as we always do, slowly but steadily; and you shall change along the way, for the very actions involved will change you. I might add for the better.
