“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Here is a copy of my dream of September 28, taken from my dream notebook: Color, much forgotten. Father and myself and the whole family—I don’t believe Jane was in the dream—had all decided to leave physical reality together. We were all in agreement. We had gathered in the garage out back of the house. I had no regrets except that I wouldn’t get to do any more paintings. We were all our present ages, except that Father was there and very active, on his feet, etc.)

The father’s body was also a vehicle in bringing you and your brothers into physical existence, and the dream represented several things. On the one hand it represented a quite natural subconscious fear that when the father-creator (hyphenated) vanished, his issue would go along with him. On another level it stated indeed that the psychic reality of the family in a large manner would disappear from physical reality. Your parents at their death will take the strongest burden of that identity, the family identity, with them. Do you have questions?

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.

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.

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.

(At last break I asked Jane if Seth could discuss two points: Who would be waiting for Father at his death?; and the situation surrounding a letter Jane recently received from a professor at Cornell, who works in remote sensing and asked Jane to deliver an ESP presentation to his graduate class.)

(“Why did Jane and I find his photograph so striking?” Sunday at the family home in Sayre, I found a copy my father had made of a very old picture of Otis. It was in a cigar box on a back shelf, along with other odds and ends. Otis was elderly even then; my father was born in 1890. The physical resemblance between my father and grandfather is striking. Otis’s photograph exerted a most peculiar fascination for Jane and me. I would like to do a painting from it.)

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.
