“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Here Seth refers to the last session, and the confusing envelope data in which Seth told us, in error, that certain data pertaining to a medical building was correct. At the time Jane and I suspected telepathy from me. See page 39.)

I mentioned that objects are symbols to express a basic reality, the reality of direct experience. On one level dreams deal with objects and dream images. Here they are still being used as symbols. At deeper levels however in the dream state there is direct experience, and objects are not used.

There are root dreams that represent basic inner experiences. Initially no images are involved. If you remember the dreams, you remember them with images however. Flying dreams are an example here. They are not symbolic of anything, basically speaking. They represent direct experience.

Dreams in which psychic instruction is given: here we have another example of a root dream. Again, not symbolic but actual experience. Past life dreams are root dreams. This is not to say that upon awakening the direct experience is not automatically intermixed with other dream elements.

Within your system however, color, to man, is more important than shape, though this is not true with all species in your system. Color is closer to emotional experience than shape. It is also, believe it or not, closer to sound. The connections between color and emotion are too obvious to discuss here.

To me, an emotion will automatically be translated into color in many instances. Here you see—but try this: do you see a connection between the color red and the word quick?
