“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

His early background was relatively different: an invalid mother, no father, on welfare, et cetera, so his environment alone to some extent placed him in a different light in the eyes of his contemporaries. Added to this, from the beginning he did indeed –relatively, now—stand out. His unusual vitality, abilities, and intelligence were apparent, but they were not conventional abilities. The ability alone did not win friends and influence people.

(I asked Seth for his interpretation of my dream on Sunday morning, June 25, in which I was highly upset to see my father careening backward in a truck, down Pinnacle Road. A copy of Seth’s comments is attached to the dream.)

He interpreted it thusly. It was a statement of fear, and fear’s resolution. Your father was the symbol of yourself. You were afraid that you were doing everything backward—specifically with “Unknown” Reality, and that the affair would be a disaster—or the car would crash.

Mixed into this were feelings about your age, and that you were spending too much time on the project. Instead, you discover the car does not crash—and not only that, but your father is much more vigorous at the end of the dream than he was in the beginning. You still had not quite recovered from your fear, however. Your father was used as the main character, of course, because he is referred to in your notes, because you planned photographs of him in the beginning, and because in the dream he represented the disapproving portions of your own personality.
