“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. The basis of all life and of all existence can be loosely termed intuitional. Obviously the intellect is not necessary for life.

Now. I do not dream of Ruburt because I do not dream at all, in the same terms that you do. I switch the focus of my attention with conscious intent, so to speak. I take all portions of myself into any particular state of consciousness, and I enter various states of consciousness somewhat in the same manner that you can move from one physical country to another.

I visit you therefore, but I do not dream of you in the way that you might think. Now Ruburt has not, in his imagination, given me a particular physical image, and dreaming at your level involves visual images. So he does not dream of me in that way.

Your mother, realizing too well that her little boys are grown, now you see seeks to maintain her motherhood by asking help from them, since they no longer need it from her. Now, this asking for help represents a need for reassurance that she has indeed been a good parent, and that her sons still hold her in high esteem.

For each time when they come to her aid she says to herself, “If they did not love me they would not help me.” At the same time however this help is held up to the father, for it is the mother who asks for the assistance, and the assistance is always in some way held up against the father. This is also a type of revenge, however, for the mother is now in a stronger position, after having been kept in an inferior one for nearly a lifetime.

Now. In regard to the Boston existence, we will try to add a few details. Tonight I am attempting to answer some questions, and give you some reincarnational material in which you are interested. We will do this in our own way. Oftentimes a few sentences of seemingly unrelated material will later be found to be pertinent. On other occasions the unrelated material simply allows me to slyly insert specific information without alarming Ruburt.

(Jane’s eyes now opened for the first time. According to Seth both of us lived in Boston before the Civil War, male and female then, as now.)

It is not there now, but perhaps records could prove its existence. You had some difficulty with a left eye. Ruburt is concerned lest this is distorted, because of Miss Callahan’s bad eye, but the information is quite legitimate. (Miss Callahan is an elderly spinster living in our apartment house. See Volume 1.)

(It was now time for the 61st Dr. Instream experiment. Jane’s pace was once again broken by short pauses as she sat with a hand raised to her closed eyes. Resume at 10:09.)

Now, give us a moment, please, for our Instream material.

Right now Dr. Instream has several choices of action available. I mean in this general period of time, not this instant. He is in a period in which he is trying to make decisions of a major nature, concerning the future and his own circumstances.

Separately now, a connection with the initials P, G, or P, C, and an overdrawn account. Two packages which are not delivered on time. Dr. Instream does not hold the chain which is our object, but watches the woman who wears it.
