“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Last night Jane had a dream she didn’t like. She couldn’t recall it clearly, but it featured her talking to a man, objecting to him that he’d told her something he’d given her would be painless—but that it was instead quite painful: a suicide pill, or something like that, she said. “You told me it wouldn’t hurt...” I was there as a bystander. Jane had agreed to do something that wouldn’t hurt, but it did. I asked that Seth comment.

Very briefly: Instream is astonished at his own opaqueness in life, and the chances that escaped him. The younger man was, when you met him, afraid himself of schizophrenia, and had a great need to establish his own sanity at the expense of anyone who showed any but the most conventional characteristics.

You thought that if the Instream affair did not work out, this might be another point of contact. That desire led you to disregard conflicting feelings, urging you to leave the man alone.

You also thought two opinions were better than one, and you hoped that the man could provide some information about Instream himself, so that you would know better how to deal with him.
