“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(There follows from her dream notebook Jane’s account of one of the dreams she had on Tuesday, May 10,1966: “This whole dream was in images. I saw the universe… or whole reality, an infinity of spirals and stars, in depth somehow. Someone told me? or I just knew… that many of our cherished ideas concerning reality are completely wrong. It was a revelation type dream, except that now I can’t remember anymore about it. Perhaps someone else was showing me all this; not sure though.”

In the diagram for example, each star would represent a moment point in another system. It appears as matter within your system, from your viewpoint, and exists as matter within your system. But it exists as something entirely different, you see, within another system. You perceive but the lowest point of its reality, so I will tell you now that the various stars and planets and heavenly bodies that you observe in your universe do indeed exist as such, but only within your system.

Now, I will tell you further that these dimensions merely represent various capacities of consciousness. All these dimensions exist at once, and even within your system, but your consciousness cannot perceive them.

Now I suggest your break.

Now certainly you recall our material on the inner senses. (Pause, eyes closed.) Try for a moment to consider these in terms of a fourth-dimensional personality structure… We are forced now and then to slow up, so that Ruburt can get proper words.

Now give us a few moments please.

Now. A mine, or something deep in the earth. A hole, underground. This may or may not be a reference to death.

Now, our object seems to be round, like a top: And also, like a top, capable of some motion. Brown and white in color, moving counterclockwise I believe, upon a small standard. It may be some sort of scientific device—I do not know, but it is a mechanical device.

He has reached a decision now, or very nearly, about the matters mentioned in our last session. There seems to be some connection with the Midwest here, or at least further west than his present location. Perhaps someone further west had to do with his decision.

Now, do you have an envelope for me?

Some connection with an invitation, or an attempt, perhaps to communicate. (Jane gestured with the envelope, which by now she had lowered from her forehead.) Give us time… Mention of building, or implied mention… (Pause, but I didn’t wait long enough.)

(A note here: On page 148, see our interpretation of Seth’s impression, “Anemia,” and Jane’s connecting this with our friend Helga Anderson. Writing of Father Ryan now reminds us that he died of leukemia—also a blood disorder as anemia is. Note that Seth merely said that anemia reminded Jane of Helga Anderson; Helga is not given as Seth’s impression. Perhaps the anemia impression is a distortion of leukemia. However, we think Jane’s Helga impressions and the interpretations leading to the envelope object and the dream book in general, to be legitimate.

(“White. Brown.” Seth gave this in answer to my first question, concerning colors connected with the object. Jane said this refers to an experience from her own childhood, which is discussed, again, under the Dream Symbols and Culture heading on the envelope object, in chapter five. Her experience involved a pair of her mother’s brown and white spectator shoes, and was connected with her mother’s illness. It made such an impression on Jane that even now she does not wear shoes bearing this particular color combination.

We will now close our session. My heartiest wishes to you both.
