“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane wrote an intuitive dissertation on the wonderworks idea as soon as she received the title; this took up two single-spaced typewritten pages. She was in “a slightly altered state of consciousness” while transcribing the data. The following excerpts from her paper show the unity that underlies her daily activities; for she thinks that her own dream experiences, “Unknown” Reality, and The Wonderworks — to use a set of recent examples — are so interrelated that practically speaking it would be futile to try to separate them.

“Creative expression, from its intuitional spark to objectification, mirrors in our private realities the way the universe was [and is] constantly created.

(The heading The Wonderworks first came to Jane as she sat at her desk last Friday morning, May 17. She realized immediately that it was connected to the extraordinary series of dreams she began having early this month. [These total 33 so far and their number increases almost nightly. I’ve barely mentioned them in recent notes — just for sessions 696 and 698 — but Seth has had a good deal to say about them in current personal material.] Many of the dreams have been quite long and involved. I’d say that some of them are classics of their kind; Jane’s own symbolism is beautifully illustrative of the way dreams can offer insights and solutions to very real physical challenges. Her whole nighttime adventure here is a most practical one, and is worthy of an extended study elsewhere.

“… to meet him personally, I’ve had to go to another level. I tried this once, and got scared.² Seth wasn’t known at the location I reached there. He could be scattered into several ‘spirit guides’; that’s how his reality would be interpreted, or come through …

[...] The conscious art of creating, understanding, and using dreams has been largely lost; and the intimate relationship between daily life, world events, and dreams almost completely ignored. [...] The members of some ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, knew how to be the conscious directors of dream activity, how to delve into various levels of dream reality to the founts of creativity, and they were able to use that source material in their physical world.²

[...] ⁴ No system of reality is closed. [...] In the waking state the conscious mind must focus rather exclusively upon that one particular point of concentration that you call reality, simply so that it can direct your activities properly in temporal life. It is quite equipped, however, also to direct you to some extent in other levels of reality when it is not needed for specific survival duties.

[...] We have said that to some degree even atoms and molecules have consciousness, and each one of those minute consciousnesses forms its own dreams, even as on the other hand each one forms its own physical image. Now, as in the physical field individual atoms combine for their own benefit into more complicated structure gestalts, so do they also combine to form such gestalts, though of a somewhat different nature, in the dream world.

[...] I had two questions prepared, both growing out of material in “Unknown” Reality, but had to lay them aside until next time.)
