“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

I am particularly interested myself in these projected experiments, and as a preliminary for them we shall have you work with suggestion alone before you attempt to begin with your recordings.

Now I will give you a short break, and again my welcome to our friends, and I do not mean to ignore them. We shall indeed have you, Joseph and Ruburt, working in your sleep, as Ruburt earlier remarked, and you shall be glad of it. For the dream will not be captured in a laboratory by scientists who will not look into their own dreams.

My dear Jesuit, shall I turn my chair around and face you full?

You see, the work involved in these experiments will of itself allow you to be extremely flexible, and you will discover finally that you can bring a portion of your consciousness with you while you sleep. A portion of the self will be investigating other portions of the self. We shall also have you using suggestion to bring about certain types of dreams in which we may be interested.

I am going to suggest a brief break, and we shall make our Dr. Instream appointment.

I work carefully in cooperation with his ego, for we do not want to startle it. When such changes occur in an obvious manner, we shall see that you both are present.
