“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane called last night. I worked on Dreams but an hour this morning, and once again, told her that I was concerned about lost working time on the book. She said she’d been very blue as I left last night, but that the period had passed after a while and she’d felt fine. I’ve also had a number of blue periods lately, but try to keep going anyhow.)

(4:20 p.m. “I had the feeling it would be for us, instead of dictation,” Jane said. I read the session to her. “That last part ought to make you feel better,” she said. “Does it?”

(I told Jane I’d had another one of those long, involved, being-pursued dreams last night, this time involving my brother, Linden, who is 13 months younger than I am. I can recall little of it. It worked out okay, yet it reflected my state of mind often these days — my fears, probably on a lot of subjects.

(I do think Seth offered an excellent insight when he said that the blue periods on both our parts were ways of expressing fears. Without thinking about such bouts particularly, I suppose I at least had taken it for granted that the blue periods reflected weaknesses on my part, say — times when I should have known better or wasn’t doing well. I dare say Jane has the same ideas. Now we can appreciate that the blue periods are therapeutic.

(I went shopping at SuperDuper on the way home tonight, and ate a late supper. Jane called with Carla’s help at 9:50, as I was typing this session. I love you, Jane.)

^* In Jane/Seth’s The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events, which was published in 1981, I wrote: “Seth maintains that Framework 2, or inner reality, contains the creative source from which we form all events, and that by the proper focusing of attention we can draw from that vast subjective medium everything we need for a constructive, positive life in Framework 1, or physical reality.” Seth has a lot to say about Frameworks 1 and 2 in Mass Events. For example: “Those unique intents that characterize each individual exist first in Framework 2, then — and with birth, those intents immediately begin to impress the physical world of Framework 1.”
