“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Aerofranz wanted a word from me, and the word is: hold out a while. There may be a definite change to another department on her (Eve’s) part, and this would represent a slight advancement—a half step, but a good one.

Now. The new department or her position would build upon her present knowledge and duties; that is, the knowledge would be of definite value to her, but the main emphasis of her duties would lie elsewhere. There is a future for her in that company, if (underlined) she chooses to pursue it and is not impatient.

Now. In conscious projections you allow yourself some freedom. In many cases you do consciously what you do unconsciously in any case. You are able with practice to journey through other systems. You are able to see for yourself not only the experiments that are being tried, but often to come into contact with other portions of yourself, who are involved in those experiments. As for example your Doctor Pietra.

(Jane had the dream in question on August 22, 1969, a Friday night, and has it recorded in her dream notebook. She described it to me at breakfast Saturday morning, mentioning the impression it had made upon her, but without connecting it to Seth’s series of seven dreams.)

Now. You and he had both come from another direction. The messages represent (pause) philosophies and ideas (pause) that the Seth material and his work will change. The dream is personal and yet more than this, these messages and philosophies will be buried not only by the material but by psychic awareness on the part of many individuals like yourselves.

The old ideas had not been wiped out. The new ideas had not yet taken hold. Part of your responsibility will be to tread upon the old ideas, to clear the distortions; and Ruburt, realizing this, hesitated, but he recognized in the dream exactly what was involved.

(That same night Carl also had a dream involving a large white house, but upon awakening could not recall it clearly.

Symbolically the both of you were to follow me into this house, for its rooms contain various realities. The realities merge so walls inside the house did not serve as divisions, and had you followed me you would have seen that passing through one wall would not lead you to a room on the other side, but to numberless rooms within the wall.

Now the walls within the rooms could be compared to your physical time, each wall a moment as you think of it. But each moment can be used as a threshold into experiences that have no time, and I explained this to you, though you do not remember.

You turned the house symbolically into a normal-sized house so that you could enter it, but you did not do so. Its proportions would have changed of course the moment you set your feet inside the door. You learned through the experience, and there will be others.

Now. I told you that the knowledge gained would be retained. Not only this, but it is retained not only by the individual selves as you think of them. It becomes part of the knowledge of all the probable selves in other realities also.

There would indeed be a mass transference of consciousness, but not necessarily at all to one particular reality. The individual consciousnesses involved would not for example necessarily choose to start anew, in the same kind of reality, agreeing to form more or less identical conditions.

Give us a moment here. (Jane paused. As she did so our cat Willy jumped up in her lap; he has done this several times lately. But as before Jane’s trance wasn’t broken. I put Willy down.)

I am speaking theoretically, but those in the probable system, according to their own knowledge and capabilities, could also help your own system to avert disaster under certain conditions. This is rather an involved subject; and it would also be highly dependent upon your willingness to be helped. The race has called out before for help, and received it.

It is aware of you both as psychic entities, and retains strong and unclouded perceptions of your past relationship. These connections must pass from its memory as it matures. The memories can be retained, but the primary focus of activity and the intensity must deal with this personality, and with this existence as you think of it.

(Pause.) It hears my voice, but it understands what I am saying mentally. It has come so far into physical reality (Sue is eight months pregnant), that it can perceive telepathically, but it will be some time, as you know, before it will be able to interpret speech as such. It will rely upon inner communication.

To you, your body is solid. The entity can perceive the room in which you sit as if your belly were a window, but it sees with inner sight, and forms the images through the inner senses.
