“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The Mafia dream (of March 16) based on the gangsters’ series, for example, served to bring into conscious awareness not just the information, but Ruburt’s feelings about the dominant male role in your present culture. It is the feelings that are so important. They should not be shunted aside, or treated as stepchildren, but compassionately understood. Then (underlined) they can change into something else. The same applies to Ruburt’s feelings in the religious area. There is no need saying, “What a ridiculous way to feel” —not an attempt to disinherit the feelings, but to accept them as one’s own, and compassionately explain the mitigating circumstances and new knowledge that alter the initial circumstances that stimulated the feelings to begin with.

Your own interest in (flower)seeds right now presents you with an excellent example of the natural person’s inclination to seek out fresh stimulation, and to ally itself, however innocently, with those forces of natural creativity. The exterior interest, the physical manipulations, also stand for, and reflect, inner manipulations with psychic growth, and serve as symbols of a united psychological approach.

(Long pause.) I am trying to connect present and past here in a very important manner, so that Ruburt can understand his own psychic roots, for they are indeed the basic ones, and that understanding is as important to his development now as any other material that I might give. I will then end the session, unless you have a question that you particularly want answered this evening.
