“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now: good evening.

Now you have a mass-communications system upon which you rely. Only from legends do you receive any knowledge of the way in which past civilizations received their news broadcasts (quietly). The importance of dreams and intuitional information cannot be overemphasized, as a built-in psychic and biological method for knowing what is going on both in the near and far environment.

In the past, farmers used dreams to plant their crops, and weather dreams were very popular—that is, people actually dreamed about the weather in the past because of their concern and their more intimate relationship with the natural environment. Times of famine were indeed predicted in dreams and guarded against. Kings and courts, chieftains, needed their soothsayers. Even though, now, you rely upon physical communication, portions of the species are still connected through those ancient means—though there is not the same need to become consciously aware of the information.

(10:44.) Now we come to Dialogues (with much humor)—in a brilliant connection of material—for Dialogues presents an intuitive odyssey. It is a book telling of interior events. It is highly rational, but it is not the type of rationality that people are familiar with. The interior events are not “structured” by the use of drugs. Which could explain the events for many people. Under drugs anything can seem to happen.

In the past, again, poetry was an important method of communication, but the “rationally” tuned mind suspects it. There is often nothing to be checked in it against physical reality in a concrete manner, for the message is intuitional and internal. People like poetry as a rule in your society only when it is dealing with conventional subjects, or directly with nature, so that in a way, now, the intuitions are used “to a rational end.”

Now: there was a point I wanted to make.

Now: you spoke earlier this evening of moments in boyhood when you simply observed and appreciated the natural world. If you are each ahead of your times in certain terms, you are very much in the natural world. You are in your times then in important biological and psychic ways, interconnected with all other physical creatures, and with the natural world itself. There is a cultural world, and a natural one.

(11:42.) Now Ruburt has been concentrating upon the symptoms, imagining this or that, often not responding to the moment as it is, but to imagined future events and moments filled with threat or difficulty. Three hours of free writing time are not supposed to be three hours of worry. His state of anxiety must be lessened. The eye condition would disappear, and much more quickly, if he would think of other things, and follow the instructions I have given.

One more remark: you may take a session night if you want to, to review these sessions. You must convince yourselves that the point of power is now, in all regards.
