“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

He takes new interest in what food is in your cupboard or refrigerator. The interest propels him to look. Today through such activities he found himself, if in a simple fashion, taking a few steps without his table to get where he wanted to go. I am going into this material because it shows how desire works in any area. His thoughts were on what he wanted to do, though he very definitely had to consider the means, the getting about.

The two of you exaggerated your position. You saw yourselves in opposition to the world. Ruburt was afraid his need for the world’s acceptance might lead him out into it again, where he would necessarily meet scorn, for he thought in absolutes.

(11:07.) His creative abilities will see to it that Seven is finished. He enjoys doing it, for that matter. Thoughts of work, however, do not work. You are not to compare yourselves with people who have jobs, or to say “They put in so many hours”—for you set up comparisons that do not apply, and that hamper your creativity.

The eyeglass dream portion: the old black frames of the glasses represented old beliefs. They were dropped into the water, the realm of Ruburt’s fears, by a young man who represented an earlier self who thought success was a male prerogative. The glasses came up cleansed, but together again, and the frames were updated—so that Ruburt’s fears, encountered as he is doing of late, actually allow him to see better and clear his vision. For they dissolve, and vision is restored.

He was afraid that they were lost. Then he thought only one lens was saved. This shows that he was worried for his vision, and thought that only the one right eye would operate properly. He discovers the glasses intact, however, better than before, and no longer curved outward and thick.

This portion of the dream represents his realization that his eyes are clearing. The fears are being washed away. Before, he was afraid to go down into the fears, represented by the water. The fears dissolving, however, turn into cleansing agents. The part of the self responsible for the fears was the part that thought success a male prerogative, so that the woman had to exert extra discipline. That was also one of the reasons behind Ruburt’s fear of the world’s scorn.
