“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

First, I will discuss Ruburt’s dream. It contained several revelations that cannot be put into words.

It is correct to say that the truth can never appear completely undistorted when words are used, for the words themselves almost cloak as much as they reveal. (A long pause; Jane was very restless.) The dream, I believe, was a part of a series of three dreams, the other two yet to come. He was also involved in some astral travel. This is not unusual, for the inner self frequently leaves the body when the body sleeps.

The heavenly bodies as moment points conform to certain mathematical principles, though your idea of mathematics is extremely limited. Even using your mathematics, you can still only conceive of reality in certain terms. It is difficult to put this into words. I must reemphasize this. Your mathematics still deals, comparatively speaking, with a very slim area. (Jane smiled, eyes wide open and very dark.)

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.

We will start with the word more. I do not know to what it refers. More of something: The name Moore, M-o-o-r-e, or a moor (gesture) meaning land. That is our first impression.

A fold. Four. Seven. A connection with mass, or a word that sounds like mas-todon.

(“A connection with a trial, or something tried. I do not know if this is trial in terms of judgment, or in terms of an attempt, you see.” We think this refers to attempt. Chapter five of the dream book contains suggested experiments for the reader to try, involving waking and dreaming states and their interchange, etc. On the object itself, the word try is used twice in Jane’s notes, having to do with the reader’s attempt to manipulate dreams. The chapter from which the object came contains many other such references also.

(“A connection with mass, or a word that sounds like mas-todon.” Since mass was mentioned first, we think this refers to “en masse”, near the bottom of the object. There are also references to animals in chapter five; Jane discusses these under the chapter heading “Dream Symbols and Culture” on the object, and mentions that fire helped primitive man keep the beasts away. We thought the primitive reference might have conjured up mas-todon, and that this in turn would support Seth’s “Connection with an animal” data in the 257th session. After break Seth tells us we are right about mass, wrong about “todon.”

(“An M”, We can make M connections but do not know if we are correct. One could be Marian Spaziani; Jane uses a dream of Marian’s in chapter five. In this case see the “Connection with four people…” data on page 147. The word manipulate is found twice in Jane’s handwriting on the object itself; but there are also three other words on the object that begin with this letter: Mean, en masse, and more.

The mas-todon was a distortion of two impressions. We picked up the word mass, and also a connection with an animal, which was your cat. In trying to vocalize the impressions however, we made the obvious and rather amusing error.
