“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(3. I asked that Seth continue his material on the waking-sleeping patterns of the species on a global scale. He began this in the 800th session for April 4, 1977, following my questions noted in the 796th session for March 3, 1977. Seth does discuss the question tonight, and rather than break up this session by making it half regular and half deleted, I’ve inserted the proper notes in the 796th and 800th sessions to refer the reader to this deleted session. The material is excellent, and should eventually be published somehow. As an article? Psychic Magazine?)

The physical explorations of your planet followed such dream information in one way or another. The explorers were not going out blindly. Period. The alternate waking and sleeping patterns—that is, one portion of the species sleeping while the other portion wakes—allows a clear division between waking and sleeping information. In the waking state you check your perception against physical conditions. You see whether or not others perceive what you do. Physical data are the result of pooled information to a large degree. If it is raining outside, everyone should get wet. In the dream state information is not immediately checked against the environment. It may be raining in a dream but your sleeping body remains dry. Your dreams largely involve conditions that were physical, or conditions that might be physical. There, then, the race deals with probabilities.

Many are indistinguishable from others in people’s minds, but our books literally do change people’s realities, and ultimately their lives and all of the people with whom they come in contact. In that regard the books are powerful, and their impact cannot be ascertained in mundane ways. You are, then, using your point of power to affect your world—a point you should each remember.

What I said to you about your moment with the evening, my remarks about responding to the present moment—these all involve ways of dealing with basic attitudes in your individual and joint behavior. I have given Ruburt physical and mental suggestions that should relieve stress and produce motion and creativity.

You should give yourself the last suggestion also, for it will help you utilize dream states more effectively.
