“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I told Jane that I’d had a half-remembered dream of my own last night, involving my going back to work for Stu Komer of the old Artistic plant. I was working on a new kind of greeting card that could, I think, actually be quite successful. If I had time I’d make a dummy of one to show Jane how it works, for it utilizes two pieces of embossed paper and messages to deliver its import. Quite original, I think, a creative accomplishment. I said I wouldn’t mind Seth commenting on the dream.

Ruburt was correct. The meaning of the dream is as follows: In the beginning you and he are about to lecture or address small children, which means that you were both invoking the spontaneous, creative portions of yourselves, which in the truest sense are childlike. Later, a woman dies who is well-known to a group of people who are with Ruburt. The woman represents Ruburt’s old beliefs, the woman that he was, so to speak. All that are immediately salvaged are the inner organs, which Ruburt symbolically washes clean in a ritual indicative of washing away old beliefs, and of washing the inner organs clean—the act of inner cleanliness.

Later he finds a pyramid-shaped pile of dead puppies, representing the death of old beliefs that had lingered from his childhood. He then discovers a newly-born puppy, fully alive, and this represents his finding and claiming the new spontaneous, creative portions of his being. He is on the way to register the puppy and claim it at a local police station, which means he was introducing this portion of himself to all other parts, and legitimizing it with the authorities—meaning that he was accepting it wholeheartedly under the auspices of the new authority of the self. The police usually stand for discipline, the puppy stands for spontaneity, and that spontaneity and order are united.
