“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This leaflet had a good emotional connection to Jane, since a very few days before we went to the bureau she had a dream concerning an atomic attack, radiation, contamination, etc.; in the dream she saw a building and a floor plan that were very much similar to the actual layout of the local bureau. The data contained in the leaflet closely paralleled the dream; therefore Jane was quite pleased to discover stacks of these leaflets at the motor vehicle bureau. She had not been inside the bureau for at least a year.

Thoughts are indeed events therefore. Wishes and desires are events. As you know, wishes and desires also influence those actions which will be perceived by you as actual events in the physical universe. The human system responds fully as much to these events as it does to physical events. In the dream state often portions of these probable events are experienced in a semiconscious manner. This amounts to a bleed-through, and I use the term purposely, for your recorder can serve us here in an analogy.

When this does happen it usually occurs as a bleed-through from the subconscious from the dream state, for the subconscious is somewhat acquainted with probabilities, and to some degree experiences these in a problem-solving manner. It views various probabilities with the purposes of the ego in mind, and therefore aids the ego in its decisions as to which probable events it should choose for its own experience.

Permanence as the ego thinks of it would be an alien concept to these portionsof the self, and to them a highly distasteful concept, adding up to rigidity. Flexibility is the key here, a voluntary changing or alteration of the self as it is allowed to change freely with each probability that is explored. Experience here therefore is of a plastic nature. Some thought concerning your own dream state may give you an intimate key to understand what I mean here.

(Jane was pleased with the test results. As stated, the envelope object had good emotional connections for both of us, with the added connection of the dream material mentioned on page 260. The dream material was not specifically mentioned by Seth, however. It will be noted that his data moved between the fact of our being strongly concerned about the license plates, and the experimental object itself, which was picked up as the focal point of our concern.
