“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In all our sessions we have been dealing with the mobility of consciousness, with its nature and extent.

In dreams consciousness operates to some degree independently of the physical system. In projections this independence is more pronounced. In physical death of course the connection between consciousness and matter is broken. It is broken and yet not entirely severed.

You may encounter apparitions that are actual visitors from another system. They may or may not know that they are perceived. Very early in our sessions I spoke of primary and secondary constructions. You can of course form secondary projections, or fragments, and rather consciously control them, as will be the case in any deliberate, underlined, projections.

Dream objects are secondary constructions, but very valid ones. Now they do have much more than an imaginative reality, and they do possess consciousness, but a fragmentary consciousness, that can however further develop.

(I had no conscious memories of being interested in medicine while in my teens, but then neither do I recall dreams from that period. Perhaps eight years ago I did a series of medical illustrations for the hospital in Sayre, PA. I enjoyed doing these very much, and remember being surprised at the time at the aptitude I seemed to show for such work. I had never done such work before. The work won prizes during its travels about the country.

The doctor, you see, that you might have been and are not in this system, once dreamed of a probable universe in which he would be an artist. He continues to work out his own probabilities. Perhaps he paints as a hobby. He exists however in fact, within another system. You call his system an alternate system of probability but this is precisely what he would call your system.

I am using you here and the physician probability as an example. Art, you see, is also closely connected with healing. The projections of which I spoke do happen occasionally and spontaneously on both of your parts. Various aspects of the personality are being developed, you see. Reincarnation is but a part of this probability system, the part that falls within your particular universe.

This all involves value fulfillment, which is at its basis. It is obvious then that you perceive consciously only a small part of your own overall reality. The doctor obviously has his own ego, though not within your system.
