“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

No one in his childhood, in his 20’s, or in your early relationship, ever warned him that he could become too conservative. It certainly did not seem that he was being overly cautious in any regard, and yet when his sexuality was perhaps most noticeable, he made sure he took up with a man, Walt, who could not take advantage of it—a very cautious step for all of its unconventional overtones.

The dream is self-explanatory. You represented yourself, and yet you also represented your idea of the species in its relationship to the acquisition of any ultimate knowledge. For one thing, the dream represented an attitude, of course, that truth was something apart from man, hopefully to be acquired, and definitely involving an ascent.

The church symbolism was also obvious, but the situation itself exists in an intellectual framework. Intellectually known truths are the goal—truths almost like some exotic product to be attained by man, as man searches through science or religion for ultimate answers.
