“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Sleeping provides not only a rest from usual activity, but a recharge of energy. Waking life involves the expenditure of energy, so in this way a portion of the species uses energy while the other half is being replenished. In a manner of speaking, the mind sends out electromagnetic patterns that are used almost like aerial bridges, upon which the signals of consciousness travel invisibly through your world. This kind of foundation is continually laid with great diligence by the sleeping portion of the species. The waking portion provides, say, the material supplies that visibly appear as objects or as events. These objects or events must be laid upon that prior framework, however. These “invisible electromagnetic bridges” exist in networks that twine and intertwine, inclining reality to appear in certain fashions.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

The glasses he wears are not nearly as important as his worry about which glasses to wear. Relaxation will help the head area continue what it is trying to do. The eye condition is a part of that process. When he gets out of bed, or immediately after breakfast, I would like you each day to remind him that he can trust the physician within and the ancient wisdom of the body. Those are the words to be used. They will serve as important reminders that will help structure the day, particularly with your involvement with them. You follow me.

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.

To a lesser degree many of the remarks are to you also. You can pick and choose what you concentrate upon. The natural events are prime data. Those data can transform your inner life. You can instead—anyone can, that is—allow unsynchronized material from probabilities to adversely affect prime natural data, so that the safety of the moment becomes invaded by events that in certain terms have no prime reality.
