“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane had no idea of what Seth would discuss during the session. She was rather tired and yawning by 9 PM. She began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes closed, and with a slow pace.)

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.

You are quite aware of these constructions as the inner self keeps track of them. You act out many possibilities within dream reality, and within dreams you try out alternatives, and not necessarily short term ones.

You would have made an excellent doctor, for example. In your terms you worked out this possibility by weaving, over a period of three years, a dream framework in which you learned exactly what your life would have been, had you gone into medicine.

The point is that such dream episodes represent probable physical reality.

In your present daily life the same process continues. Most of these dreams are very disconnected from the ego, and will seldom be recalled. The self who pursues these divergent paths is actual however. These are legitimate projections. They represent systems of reality of which you are not aware.

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.

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.

(End at 10:28. Jane was again far-out. Her eyes remained closed. She was aware of the first long pause, lasting at least two minutes. She knew something was coming, but not what, and afterward didn’t know whether it applied to Don Wollheim or to Frederick Fell, editor and publisher respectively.
