“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“You will meet a woman dressed in green... A clock that doesn’t keep proper time... There are three men in particular with whom you will be associated... You will meet a man you do not like... You will have a grand view of an occasion... A turnoff that does not bring you where you want to go... An unscheduled social engagement, not in a private home but a public place... The number 5 and the number 321... Another room besides the one that has been planned.”)

(A somewhat similar question arises concerning a dream Jane had on November 30th, and a few lines of the data given for the 22nd Dr. Instream test; see the following lines on page 104 of the 213th session: “He received a book by mail today, a biography sort of book, having to do with a personality of the late 1800’s. A medium.” This material is dated December 1; there follows Jane’s dream of the night before.

(“November 30. Dream not very clear now. ‘The Mediumship of—1885.’ I saw a book with this title. A study of the mediumship of a mother and daughter, it seems. Of the Eisenhower or the Kennedy families? As dream opens I see a house; a farmhouse? Someone is bringing this book to the man or men who live there. This is a country rather than a town house. The man who is given the book startles the man who gives it to him by quoting a line from Dante having to do with (his?) not appointing God. This may have been written inside the book cover, for example. Was the book written by a woman? Woke up finally and wrote this down on scrap paper.”

Now, I told you that I would discuss two dreams in which you were interested. However, since we are going to devote some time to our cat lover, in Washington, I will not begin the discussion of those dreams now. I could not do them justice in a short period, and would like to devote most of one session to them; and so we shall very shortly. Instead let us speak briefly on time and action.

The dimensions of action itself have nothing to do, basically, with your conception of time. Instead the dimensions of action have to do with intensities; not only the intensities of the electromagnetic components that compose them, but with intensities as they are translated into psychological terms. Therefore the psychological experience of a particular event or action has little to do with clock time.

The inner self and the deeper layers of the subconscious are relatively free however from the ego’s false gods, and it is for this reason that precognitions are at all possible. For these layers of the self are simply able to perceive a larger portion of action than the ego is able or willing to perceive. As a rule, the ego will not even accept the information that is derived in such a manner, for to do so would be to deny those artificial precepts of continuity upon which it feels its dominance rests.

Obviously we have more to say here, and so we shall. For since you are operating still within time as a series of moments, we do not have time for that discussion now.

Now, we shall see what we can do.

Something to do with a federation. Pamphlets are given out. Directions to a northeast location perhaps, though I do not know, for tomorrow’s lecture.

A measurement of abilities, though I do not know to what this refers. 14,000 in all attend, in all sections, though at various times.

Now, do you have a test for me, Joseph?

(Jane finished her comments by noting that there isn’t much she can do at the moment about being sidetracked by such personal associations, except to keep it in mind. She does believe that this knowledge has in itself prevented her from being led astray from Seth’s data a few times in the past, and that her ability in separating Seth’s data from her own will grow.

The important event had to do with some kind of a family nature, and involved one of the two dancers, and their parents, or the parents of whichever girl was involved. I believe the event concerned the other dancer, the blonde.

(There may be an outside chance that we can confirm this data. A friend of ours who lives in our apartment house knows the two dancers, who live together in the neighborhood. But we do not know them, and this was the first time Jane and I had been in the discotheque in over a year.)

My fondest wishes to you both, and to our Dr. Instream. I would suggest, incidentally, that you both if possible find time to do the yoga exercises daily, as they provide excellent discipline, and tend to unify various portions of the self. Also, during Christmas week, when I am giving you a vacation, I would suggest that Ruburt rest from psychic affairs entirely.
