“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

If self A were limited to the perceptions of the ego, and if self A were limited then to the dimensions in which it found itself, then my dear friends precognition in dreams would be impossible, and in order to perceive the future self A would of necessity be forced to discontinue existence within the physical system.

[...] In the dreaming state, when the ego is released from its idea of time as a series of moments, then other portions of the self can travel through these moment points, and you have here a journey through depths that have nothing to do with your (underline your) concept of time or space.

In the dreaming state and in other states of consciousness, he can indeed to some degree become aware of perceptions which will be neglected by the ego alone. [...]

[...] For it is not so limited in dreams and in other states, yet while consciousness is in these other conditions, self a still exists within physical reality.

[...] Very shortly afterward I began to recall my dreams—suddenly, and for no apparent reason. [...] Not only that, but in the next two months I had two vivid precognitive dreams, the first, to my knowledge, that I ever had.

[...] At the same time I remembered having a dream the night before, which I had forgotten, in which this same sort of experience had occurred. [...]

[...] The words “Clairvoyant Dreams” popped up from the cover, and we bought it. [...]

[...] “But you’re interested in dreams, certainly after those two particular ones you had. [...]

(See my dream of August 4 in my dream notebook.)

Part of Ruburt’s difficulty is based upon precognitive knowledge.

[...] You were within this system in your projection dream. [...]

In your dream you were afraid of falling, Joseph. [...]

[...] You do not accept your dreams as real, for example, but as a rule you consider them fantasies — imaginative happenings. [...] It was impossible to imagine civilizations built upon data that were mentally received, consciously accepted, and creatively used.⁷ Under such circumstances scientists could hardly look for precognition in cells.⁸ They did not believe it existed to begin with.

This frequently happens in the dream state, although such a performance can be achieved in varying altered states of consciousness. [...]

[...] This is accomplished through what you might call a changing of frequencies or vibrations … In some ways, your dream world gives you a closer experience with basic inner reality than does your waking world, where the inner senses are so shielded from your awareness.”

[...] The other experiments included daily predictions and dream recall; and our dream recall work already had shown us the validity of precognitive dreams.

[...] All cellular life is precognitive, in your terms. [...]

[...] Often your dreams give you a hint of this kind of existence.

[...] Instead, I give you methods that you can use to make your own reality by following your will (with humorous emphasis) as far as you want to; and because of this evening’s session and the energy involved, you have the opportunity for some splendid dream activity. [...]

[...] When we saw him in class the next evening, he had no special dream activity to report.)

[...] Not only does it feed the physical universe, but in it many aspects of your own dreams become actual. Do you dream of an apple? Do you dream of a child, who has no existence in physical reality? [...]

[...] The dreaming self sees both fields, and operates in each. It should be realized that the probable self also has its dreams.

[...] But clairvoyant information deals with the future, that is, precognitive clairvoyant information, and it is here that the issue shows itself.

[...] When he is operating at his best he remembers his dreams very easily, and this can be a guide point for you both.

I began thinking about and working upon this Introduction for Seth, Dreams … late in October 1985. As I reread the book I learned that Jane devotes considerable portions of several chapters to material involving our friend, Sue Watkins — her adventures with dreams, projections, and probable realities — and also refers to her in other chapters. [...] Two nights earlier, Sue had had a very strong precognitive dream concerning her mother’s death; she plans to discuss that event in the book she’s writing. [...]

[...] In March, Tam signed her to a contract for Seth, Dreams … on behalf of Prentice-Hall. [...] She kept changing and adding to the portions of Seth, Dreams … that she hadn’t used in The Seth Material, while at the same time her new work kept crowding it out. Finally, in 1971 Tam converted her contract for Seth, Dreams … into one for Seth Speaks. Jane didn’t keep on trying to sell Seth, Dreams … Neither did I, and somehow that perfectly good book ended up packed away. [...] When at his request I rediscovered Seth, Dreams … three months ago, and examined it, I couldn’t believe that that finished manuscript had never been published. [...]

[...] But for convenience’s sake, in Seth, Dreams … I bring together certain events in chronological time; I feel that its having been written some time ago makes this book the ideal place for me to discuss Jane’s death, to unite the “past,” the “present,” and the “future’; I regard it as being next in line after Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment, which Prentice-Hall, Inc. [...] In Dreams, “Evolution, “… I stuck to Jane’s production of the Seth Material for that work, plus a strict chronological account of our personal lives while she delivered it. I made no leaps in time to write about her physical death, for to me that sad event lay too far in the future — over two and a half years — from the time she finished dictating Dreams, “Evolution,” … in February 1982.

How Seth, Dreams … eventually came to be issued by Stillpoint Publishing, how it can even be thought of as a “lost manuscript,” makes a most interesting account that I’ll just outline here. [...] That manuscript is Seth, Dreams and Projection of Consciousness. As soon as he’d reviewed it back then, Tam had asked Jane to do a book on Seth himself. [...] The book came out in 1970; and in it she had used certain portions of Seth, Dreams …

[...] 8 Jane had a dream in which she saw a strange room, not a bedroom although there was a bed in it. The room, she knew in her dream, belonged to John Bradley, although she did not see him in the dream. [...] The time was at night in the dream. [...]

[...] An event foreseen through precognition or clairvoyance, a future event, may or may not actually occur within time as you know it. [...]

[...] I am anxious however to tie in this material on the system of probabilities with dreams, for at times there can be a connection; and something indeed that our friends Priestley and Dunne did not consider—for their self three can indeed wander outside of the dimensions which they assigned to him.

[...] Such messages are often encountered in the dream state. [...]

Atlantis is a land that you want to inhabit, appearing in your literature, your dreams, and your fantasies,⁸ serving as an impetus for development. [...]

[...] Apart from that, the legend as picked up, so to speak, by Plato (see Appendix 14) was a precognition of the future probability, an image of an inner civilization of the mind actually projected outward into the future, where it would be used as a blueprint, dash — the lost grandeur, as, in other terms, Eden became the lost garden of paradise.

[...] It is really futile to question whether the universe came from a big boom (again emphatically, humorously), or is constantly expanding (though in those terms I have said it continually expands, as an idea or a dream does). [...]

[...] There are too many errors that can be made when dealing with precognitive elements. [...]

[...] It also serves as a uniting promise for the future, and gives you common dreams.

The 699th session, in Volume 1, dealt in part with dream images and subjective dream “photographs.” I used Note 1 for that session to insert one of my favorite Jane poems: My Dreaming Self. She wrote it in 1965, a year and a half or so after beginning the Seth material. Now I can add that at the time Jane actually wrote two poems on dreaming; I’ve been saving the second one for use in Volume 2.

[...] She couldn’t identify its source, except to say that she hadn’t been dreaming. [...]

[...] To them the real was the dream life, which contained the highest stimuli, the most focused experience, the most maintained purpose, the most meaningful activity, and the most organized social and cultural behavior. [...]

In some of their own private dreams, many of my readers will have discovered a reality quite as vivid as the normal one, and sometimes more so. [...]

From the “chaotic” bed of your dreams springs your ordered daily organized action. [...]

Your cells are quite able to handle different orders of events; therefore in the dream state they are able, in their individual ways, to perceive your experience, and from it to choose those actualities you want made real in your terms.

In dreams you are acquainted with probable events, from which you then choose; (to me:) so before you died as a child, you knew that you could pick or choose that death. [...]

“Now: Often precognitive information will appear to be wrong. [...]

And how about reaching a future life through the dream state, perhaps abetted by hypnosis or self-suggestion before sleep? Our own results have been ambiguous at best, in contrast with the “ordinary” precognitive dreams Jane and I have had, which we can document through our written records. Future-life dream recall may be thoroughly disguised so as to not alarm the guardian, conscious present self. I’ve often speculated that clues to oncoming lives must exist within the hundreds of dreams I’ve recorded.

[...] We were becoming so harried by her worsening physical symptoms when that material started to come through that she gave up working on Dreams and concentrated on those private sessions instead. [...] Jane didn’t return to work on Dreams until July 1981, when the two blocks of sinful-self material had run their courses. By then, she’d held only one session for Dreams in the last 13 months.

[...] Some of our experiences have come in dream states. [...]

I also know that in a couple of chapters for Dreams itself Seth referred to the genetic factors involving reincarnation. [...]

[...] The people had individual dreams and hopes, and en masse these represented a regional vision of improvement at many levels. [...]

[...] The program was based on precognitive knowledge of the flood event. [...]

Basically there is no difference between precognition and telepathy. [...]

In the dream state you smell odors that are not in your room. [...]

[...] In the case of the odor smelled in a dream, the mind experiences, and then the experience is interpreted precisely as if the senses had been used to perceive it. [...]

[...] To the best of my ability, I explained what telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition were, and what experiments might be conducted to show them in operation. [...]

“Now, in dreams you do have contact with other parts of yourself. [...]
