“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This afternoon I put myself in a light trance before going to the dentist, then used suggestion. I felt nothing in the chair.)

Your father would like to kick at old cars, for he felt that they defied him since they worked improperly. More than this however, both of your parents still feel that a car is a symbol of social status, and you grew up with this. When your cars were new you felt at one with them. But an old car brings back the old struggles between your parents, and it is precisely here that subconsciously you and Ruburt do not agree. He gladly settles on an old car—anything that moves will do. But to you the old car has not meant freedom, but imperfection.

This is not the adventurous spirit they told you of, and you heard every word. On the other hand you do have a rather deeply felt feeling for mechanical objects. This has some connection with your position in the service. But the conscious reasons that you have for being annoyed with your automobile, these reasons are rationalizations to hide the deeper causes.

One note: Your father felt ineffective and a failure when an automobile did not work right, because of his connection with them, and you picked this up. Which is highly ridiculous, as you can see, since your own interests lie in other directions.

(End at 10:55. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her pace had been good. She said she had been quite aware, this evening, of the presence of another personality in the room with us. She had felt as though she were reacting to a third person, one whom she felt rapport with and hated to see leave. She hadn’t been as plainly aware of the feeling before.
