“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Another possibility here is that Jane and Seth can work as a team, since Seth has said often that Jane has abilities of her own. If this is true in this particular instance, then the dream would contain elements of distortion. We find the study of dreams more and more interesting. Jane has now begun a book on dreams, to be done concurrently with her book on the Seth material itself.

(Also on dreams, recently I have had two extraordinarily vivid dreams involving my brother in Rochester, whom we usually see about twice a year. Seth said during Friday’s unscheduled session that these two dreams are significant, and that tonight’s regular session would deal with them. My brother, Bill, is due for a visit here next week; which fact was unknown to us when I had the pair of dreams.

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.

For the actions are spontaneous basically, again, and the effects exist so swiftly that it is impossible to say that one occurs before or after the other, or causes another. This could be likened to some gigantic, spontaneous motion that happens very swiftly. When you viewed such a gigantic motion with a slow camera, then you would get the effect that you receive within your system, of a continuous time. Where actually perhaps a sudden explosion had taken place, you would see a slow progression of light and motion.

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.

The ego however is quite secure. It would exist regardless, now, of the particular theories of time which might be held, for it is strongly anchored as a specific manipulator of physical reality. And physical reality, believe it or not, is not dependent upon the theory of time as a series of moments.

(It will be recalled that during the unscheduled session of last Friday, December 3, Seth stated that Peggy would meet a man she wouldn’t like. Jane and I wonder what part, if any, suggestion can play in such statements, perhaps unwittingly leading the recipient to react adversely to an individual.)

A fabric. He seems to be thinking of a fabric that is nubby. (Pause.) Three late arrivals. One of these someone he has been waiting for, or hoped would arrive. A male of middle age, with a mustache. (Pause at 10:09.)

(We now hoped Seth would comment on the test before ending the session. Jane resumed in a quiet voice, with her eyes closed, at 10:30.)

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.
