“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now there are several kinds of time, that will appear within your dreams, and you must sort these out carefully. While sleeping in your present time, you may have a dream that concerns your personal past, while the dream is concerned with events that you know to have occurred many years ago. Nevertheless you may experience these events as happening within the present.

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.

It should be obvious to you also that within your dreams a spatial location that belongs in present physical time can be experienced in the past or in the future within the dream framework, and there is much more here than meets the eye; and you must be careful so that you catch it. What you do with it will be up to you.

Incidentally, joking aside, some time in the future it would not be a bad idea, if it ever could be arranged, to take Ruburt’s blood pressure before, during, and after sessions; also his weight.

(Here Jane began to describe the shape of the clock in the air with her hands, as she spoke with her eyes closed. Since she was so definite about the clock’s shape, I made a quick drawing of my version of her description. This of course caused me to miss out on a few words of her verbal account, so I took the chance and asked her to repeat her description. This is the first time I have asked her a question during a test. She responded without a sign of bother or irritation, and her second description was the same as the first, as near as I could tell.

You may take at this time a brief break, and that is the end of our Instream material. Except that you may wish the good doctor a happy holiday for me.

(At an earlier break, Bill had mentioned to me, while Jane was out of the room, that he believed Jane was right-handed but that Seth used predominantly left-handed movements. I hadn’t noticed this, but told Bill Jane had talked at times of being left-handed as a child; I told him I remembered Jane saying something about being made to write right-handed in school.)

My dear Jesuit friend. Do I not try to explain things clearly, and am I not grossly misunderstood? I have been saying for some time now that I am myself, and that Ruburt is someone else. It follows that our gestures would therefore be different. Would you not say so?

(End at 10:40. Although Seth indicated a break this turned out to be the end of the session. Jane had been dissociated as usual, and her eyes had remained closed. Her pace had been quite fast at times, and as stated before I occasionally skipped a word in her delivery, or shortened a phrase, etc., without altering any meanings.
