“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The last in the series took place last night, and since it dealt with extreme situations concerning my own death, Jane and I thought it wise to inquire into it. I had thought of next Monday’s session as being soon enough at first, but by now the dreams were on my mind enough so that we thought of an unscheduled session. Also, other material in the regular sessions seemed to push the dream material aside.

(Then I was looking at Bill, off to my left. He was too close to the edge of the porch roof. I hollered at him to be careful. Even as I did he slipped, landed on his backside, then tumbled over the edge as he scrambled for his balance. I heard him hit the ground with such force that I was very afraid he had broken a limb. I then looked over the edge of the roof, and to my great agitation I saw that Dick had not only fallen off the roof and hit the ground hard, but that now he had slipped over the edge of a steep cliff beside the porch, and was saving himself only by grasping a skinny little shrub that was in the process of loosening in the frozen ground. At the same time, Bill looked up at me and I thought he was smiling; or at least he didn’t appear to be worried.

Now, there is no need for a musical accompaniment to this session.

Primarily they refer to your own subconscious feelings toward your father. Not only in regard to yourself, but in regard to your younger brother, and to Ruburt. Now this is on one level, and for a few moments we shall speak about the dreams on this level only.

(Her eyes now closed again, Jane wagged a forefinger at me.)

Now. All of these dreams have to do with your subconscious feeling that you and your younger brother could go under, mainly in a financial, but also in an emotional way, because of your father.

Now you are afraid in the next dream that you both are in over your heads, so you see yourself and your brother in the water. He is still ahead of you, for he is now up to his neck in debt. You are not but you fear that your family situation, your parent situation, could put you in a like condition.

(At break I remarked to Jane that she need not hold a session of regular length this evening. Now that we had a little information, I thought we could wait for more if she didn’t care to continue. She resumed in the same fast manner, her eyes closed, at 9:00.)

Now the last dream looks for the causes behind the situation, and the main key to it is the needle symbol, which on the one hand is a symbol for the penis. But it is not a phallic symbol, which has wider and deeper symbolic and racial implications than this one.

To some extent also the water symbol of the previous dream represented your mother’s womb, and was a connection to the penis symbol of the next dream. Now. The execution, which you feared, was a symbol for the death of many hopes, both financial hopes and artistic ones. For you would have to get further work, you feared, to help your parents. And to you this would represent a type of execution.

In the earlier dreams you were certain of your capacity to survive the situation which you feared. In this dream you faced the possibility that you would not survive so easily. Ruburt is in this episode because now you worry about the effect of your own reaction upon his condition in general.

You may now end the session, or take a break as you prefer. I believe I have answered your most urgent questions. There are other dream connections that can be made if you want to pursue them further, however.
