“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

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.

Your records must be immaculately kept. The material will indeed serve for several books for Ruburt, and I suggest that serious thought be given to the bedroom setup so that the recorder is easily accessible. An extremely dim light may be used if necessary. As the experiments continue you should automatically be able to switch the recorder off and on in the dark.

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.

On some occasion however I do want to discuss this matter of our sessions, as to when they should and should not be held; and I repeat: in no way do I ever attempt to influence Ruburt’s subconscious mind.

There is conscious discipline which can be used by Ruburt, that can negate the subconscious permission, if you so determine, and this with practice will come very easily. As entireties—I use the phrase purposely—however, you respond to many influences that may or may not result in a session.

In any case, there are simply certain circumstances that I have set up myself as a system of balances, so that the number of sessions will stay within reason, within your idea of reason. You are perfectly capable, and Ruburt is perfectly capable, ideally speaking, of holding five sessions a week without ill effects. I do realize that this is highly impractical, so you have no worries in this regard.

I do want to point out however that the only circumstance here, or mistake to make regularity a disadvantage, is the practical, physical inconvenience which would be from your end most annoying. And Ruburt would be the first one to rebel.
