“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Seth began by discussing a very emotional dream I had on the night of Thursday, February 24, involving what seemed to be the death of my father. I had not asked him to go into the dream yet, but had considered it, as Jane knew. Seth explained how the dream was built around my subconscious fears concerning my father. His interpretation of the dream was detailed, and in the manner of those he dissected in the 216th and 217th sessions. The conclusions were somewhat similar, and contained Seth’s assertions that the death of my father is not imminent, although he is 75. Seth went into one of the basic problems behind the dream, the lack of an easy communication between my father and myself. He said this particular problem is more my father’s fault than mine, and went into some methods concerning how I could begin to bridge this gap.

(I discussed with Seth the surprise with which Jane and I have watched young people take to his ideas on time, dreams, clairvoyance, telepathy, etc.; with this I speculated as to the reaction of Jane or myself had we been introduced to such ideas at the age of 20 or so. Seth said there was no cause for surprise here, that young people are intuitively aware of much more than one gives them credit for, and that when Jane and I meet young people who express interest we should help them by recommending books, giving our own ideas, etc.

(“A little later, while in the same state, I heard the music again to a reduced degree, for a few seconds. I then fell asleep. It is interesting that the evening before this experience, Saturday, February 26, Jane and I had an excellent time dancing to a new band at our favorite dancing establishment in town. I believe the guitar music I heard in bed was very much like one of the guitars in the band. I had watched this particular musician often during the evening, admiring his playing. The band plays until 1 AM each evening, when the establishment closes. Since I had my experience at 12:30 AM, when presumably the band would still be playing, did I perhaps tune in on it there?”

(I have had several other suggestive experiences recently, and keep a list of these in my dream notebook. One involved voices; another and more striking one involved my naming the exact item of clothing Jane purchased for me, unknown to me while I was at my job.

(Jane now took a one-minute pause. She sat with her hands raised to her closed eyes.)

Some allusions to Rome, about 30 AD. Some to the Middle Ages, and some to the previous century—that is, to the century before this one.

(My drawing contains lines that are horizontal and straight. There are two sets of these horizontal lines, across the top and the bottom of the words Key Value, and when one turns the drawing over on the back—not shown here—is seen the dark smudges of my pencil as I prepared the drawing for tracing onto paper. Jane said these lines and the dark smudges beneath them are what she believes she was referring to, more so than the other two horizontal sets of lines below the end of the key.

(“Just one. Will we have any witnesses to Wednesday’s session?”
