Subconsciously Ruburt knew that the dream was important. He did not know it was the first of the seven.

First, the dream. Ruburt saw you and he standing in the middle of an infinite plain of sand. The sands were marked with names and messages. To the left and to the right there were mountains of sand. To the left he saw people approaching the sands upon which he stood. To the right people were leaving the plains of sand, yet the plain itself was empty, filled only with the messages that were written there.
All was silence. You and he were about to step out upon the plain, and he held back because he did not want to disturb the messages.
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.
Two things in the dream held him back: a gigantic nostalgia for the writings in the sand that had remained for so long, the jottings of children—and for a moment he did not want to be part of anything that would wipe them out. He wondered aloud in the dream whether or not you and he should really be there: what credentials you had that would give you the right to make new footprints.

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.
When he begins to walk across the sand, and you with him, new messages will appear there. They will be a signal for those people on the left. In your terms those people will be drastically different than those who have gone before. They will not walk upon the old ideas nor dwell within their reality.
You are clearing the sands for them, and giving them new guideposts and in Ruburt’s dream he felt them waiting.
Now. There is also a symbolism here with the parting of the waters, a silence and abeyance, a hush. He sees you standing in the middle. See now the empty plain, as a scooped-out and hollow place from which the water has fled. The sand mountains to the left and right.

There are others behind you that Ruburt never saw, for you are not alone, nor the only ones involved. The dream was a statement of the situation and of his position. The next one will begin as he is bold enough to walk out upon the plain with you.

So also Ruburt felt. (Jane learned forward, quite intent.) It was safer where he was, and he hesitated to take that first step. And the step is the publication of the book, and the ideas that it entails.

Now. In other terms and on another level Ruburt felt that symbolically at least he was between birth and death, that egotistically speaking the way of darkness had been parted; and in these terms the mountain to the left represented death, from which he had come, and birth, for he emerged through birth from death; and the mountain to the right represented the death that in your terms has not yet come.
And within that context he knew it was now the time for him to walk out upon those messages that had gone before, and change the distortions, for he knew there would be no other birth and death for him, the time of reincarnations being finished.

Give us a moment, Joseph. (Long pause.) I told you to take a week to prepare yourself through dream recall for your experiments. For several evenings, see yourself in the environment of Ruburt’s dream as given. As you fall asleep give yourself the suggestion that you and he begin to walk upon the sand. See the both of you together, and hand in hand. Now Ruburt should do the same exercise.

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.)
