“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In your dream you nicely placed the family in the garage, outside of the closed house, you see. The garage was also a symbol, the place where a vehicle is kept; and your family’s car being used no longer, being a symbol of your father’s body, that he will soon discard.

This was not a dream, but the first clear recognition on your father’s part that he was ready to leave the physical plane entirely. You also picked up this information, and it was the impetus for your dream. He had not fully made the decision earlier. The paper (which Jane, in her dream, saw my father throw down) represented the notes your father wrote to himself. The paper was empty. There was nothing else he would do here. He discarded the paper. Earlier he had held it even though it was empty.

The fetus sees the physical environment. The cellular structure at that point responds to light, and activates latent abilities in the cellular structure of the mother’s body. Quite literally he sees through her body, and with the aid of her body.

These are not sharp images, but he already begins to build up ideas of shape and form. It goes without saying that the eyelids are also thus equipped. He can see through closed eyelids in other words. He is aware of light and shadow, of shape and form, though he must learn to distinguish those portions of the available field of reality that you accept as objects, from the available field that you do not accept as objects.

He sees more than you do, or more than his mother does, because he does not yet realize that you only accept certain patterns and reject others. By the time he is born he has already learned to accept his parents’ idea of what reality is. In a large sense he begins to train himself to focus only upon what you would call physical reality, though he still partially perceives other fields that you do not accept.

He is only recognized and his wants satisfied when he focuses in one particular reality. He learns quickly then to discard the others, for they do not meet his physical ends.

Now the fetus also hears, and the same thing applies here. He hears while within the womb, sounds from the, physical environment, but also sounds within the available range of reality that are not accepted as such. When the infant is born he still hears these sounds and voices, but again they do not meet his physical needs nor bring him milk when he cries, and gradually he discards them, focusing upon that data which best serves his physical purposes.

For sometime he literally perceives many levels of reality at once, and part of what seems to be disorientation is simply the result of early confusion with so much data. According to the situation and the individual, the fetus may still be receiving messages from those he has known in the past. This adds to the confusion, and it is a matter of physical survival that he largely ignores these messages while he learns to focus in physical reality.

He is quite aware of temperature changes for example, and the weather. He is telepathically in communication with animals and other people, and on a different level he is in a kind of communication with plants and other such consciousnesses.

Now. Give us a moment. (Pause.) There is a woman who will be waiting for your father, beside Ella. (Father’s deceased sister.) A woman that he knew before he met your mother, but was also acquainted with her afterward.

She was a strong reality to him afterward, in any case, and he wondered if he should have married her instead. She was either a cousin, or someone he met who was closely connected with his family in the area from which he came. The name Anna is strong here.

(The name doesn’t help me identify any such person. I know very little about my father’s early life; he never discussed it.)

Otis (my father’s father) was a woman, born in India two years after Otis’s death, and dying at a young age in her early teens. (Long pause.) He will have other reincarnations, and will eventually in your terms become a strong entity on his own. He will indeed greet your father. They had been brothers, and your father somewhat resented the change in relationship even while he chose it.

Otis’s personality attains developments by its nature in great spurts and starts; intuitions; and then he must learn to handle them. At times they overburden him. It was like him to leap from one life into another, with a change of sex.

You recognized the entity that he will become, and so did your father, unconsciously, when he took the picture. He also contacted you once through the (Ouija) board. You recognized his intuitive quality. He gobbles great insights, and they bring him sorrow until he learns what they mean. So the sorrow and the knowledge were both there.

Give us a moment. (Long pause.) He was afraid your father was not manly. (Long pause.)How much of this information do you want? We can go into the family relationship or not, as you choose.

(10:33. Jane said Seth “was full of energy. You can really feel it when he’s going good.” Seth could have gone on for hours.)
