“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I am indeed glad to see that you are all in such high spirits. For a spirit I am indeed in a rather high mood myself.

Now, I would suggest that two main categories in particular be given special notice. These as you know will have to do with primary and secondary reality. And each dream should be scrutinized first of all with these main points in mind. You must look out for pitfalls, and use your critical faculties. Ruburt uses his critical faculties supremely well in scrutinizing my activities and nature, so I have no doubt that he can also apply them to the job at hand.

The present within which you seem to experience the dream is not, however, the present in physical time, the present in which your body lies upon the bed. There is a fine distinction here, and one that you shall learn through experience for yourselves, for I shall not tell you all.

The nature of reality can only be approached by an investigation of reality as it is directly experienced in all levels of awareness: reality as it appears under dream conditions, under other conditions of dissociation, and as it appears in the waking condition.

All layers of the personality are indeed conscious layers. They simply operate in the manner of compartments, so that often one portion of the self is not aware of other portions. As a rule when you are awake you do not know your sleeping self; you know your neighbors far better, so your sleeping self appears mysterious indeed. When you are awake, as Ruburt himself has written, you cannot find the dream locations that have been so familiar to you only the night before.

(Jane and Bill now made their drawings of the clock, without seeing each other’s or mine, and my copies of all three are below. It’s apparent the three of us agreed pretty closely on what we saw. Note that only Jane points up the uneven gilt surface in her version.)

It does indeed, though the face does not fully adopt my own expression. First of all, as far as the hands are concerned, to be left or right-handed has to do with inner mechanisms and brain patterns that come first, before the motions of the hands. Characteristically, I operated in certain manners that resulted in the primary use of my left hand, when I was focused within physical matter.

His ego is his ego, and because it is his he loves it indeed. All egos fear that which is not ego. A necessary defense mechanism, which is part of each personality.
