“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In all these experiments I receive the emotional and psychic impressions first, and then attempt to name your object.

There are various difficulties. I may quite legitimately receive the impression of unendurable heaviness, for example, but then this must be properly interpreted, does the heaviness apply to a heavy psychic sorrow, or a heavy physical weight?

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.

The physical body as an object is, among other things, a symbolic representation of your own emotional reality. (Long pause.) Your dreams and your waking experiences both closely mirror your psychic condition. Symbols may be individualistic to some small extent, but physical bodies are your main symbols. While they are all amazingly different, the basic symbol within your system is universally accepted as a reality.

The world as you know it is mankind’s creation, and his abilities and limitations are all in evidence there. Within the dream state all mankind knows the outcome of any given dilemma. No predestination is involved. The problems have already been worked out on a mental or psychic level, but not yet physically materialized.
