“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] The door represented what seemed to be a new opportunity. The figure inside represented the actuality; that is, what seemed to be an opportunity would instead end up as a dead end, a threatening and stagnant position. The male figure represented the director, who offered the new position. The interval during which Ruburt could not scream represented the frozen interval of indecision, in which he could not act.

The final culmination of the dream, when he did scream and run away, represented his subconscious giving him its solution. The position was threatening because it represented a possible dilution of his energies from his main objective of writing, into a superficial ego satisfaction, which would have left him basically not only unsatisfied but personally betrayed.

[...] It does, however, represent facts that are not generally known, and that should be communicated, regardless of their source. [...]

[...] Nevertheless, they represented a necessary beginning in these endeavors, and a beginning for which no apology is needed on your part or on mine.

[...] In other terms and on another level Ruburt felt that symbolically at least he was between birth and death, that egotistically speaking the way of darkness had been parted; and in these terms the mountain to the left represented death, from which he had come, and birth, for he emerged through birth from death; and the mountain to the right represented the death that in your terms has not yet come.

[...] There may be a definite change to another department on her (Eve’s) part, and this would represent a slight advancement—a half step, but a good one.

[...] The messages represent (pause) philosophies and ideas (pause) that the Seth material and his work will change. [...]

[...] The people coming in from the left represented later generations, in your terms, who had not yet arrived at the plain. [...]

[...] Writing in his journal daily with his notations of present programs always represents a conscious intent that serves a beneficial natural hypnotic suggestion of accomplishment. [...]

[...] The negative aspects are usually not there—not because he omitted them: the book itself helps bring the positive experiences about, because, again, it represents conscious attempts to alter experience.

The boxcar elements, beside the explanation already given, also represented the body as a vehicle, moving easily and swiftly. [...] And the small trinkets that Ruburt discovered to his own delight represented the small but very valuable pleasures of daily life that he is now reclaiming.

[...] The “boxcar” episode represented his living at one level of physical experience, even while he also existed as the giant-sized self that peered over the mountain top and watched his progress. [...]

(4:28.) The sexual aspects of the earlier episode indeed represented the toning-up of the sexual capacities and their pleasurable aspects. [...]

Sue represents a certain portion of Ruburt — the writing self, signifying that the “psychic” portions of Ruburt’s personality were helping out the writing portions, and letting them share in the psychic knowledge and experience.

Your dream represents the fact that you know the insurance affair will be settled properly. The car represents the idea of distance also, since the checks do not originate in this city. [...]

[...] I knew at once that these papers represented three payments of money from the Major Medical division of Blue Cross. [...]

[...] The car also represents transportation, I thought, meaning that the money still has to get to us. [...]

The slowdown was physically expressed, both as an expression of the slowdown on the company’s part after the initial burst of activity, representing here disappointment and anger. This also represented a cautionary slowdown however to reassure you that he was not going to take over, overshadow you, since you have worked so hard at your own art without any such recognition.

[...] It also represented a slowdown in the activity from Prentice, in that he feels that if Tam were really interested in his book he would keep better track of it.

Now he felt that Rebellers, representing his first book success, helped bring about your illness, and this feeling alone is responsible for much of this.

[...] You were not yet in the throes of your illness, and he felt that this represented the last straw to you—that it was not that good a book, not art as you thought your paintings to be, and yet it was published.

In the first scene of this dream you see a probable self, who could reasonably be expected to be the kind of son your father might have, gifted with his hands mechanically, assertive enough to own his own business, however—after all, a part of the American dream, embarked upon employment that he enjoyed, and yet one that provided a service, hence physically seen between the ice (and roller-skating) rink, representing pleasure or fun, and the grocery store, representing service or nourishment. [...]

The mail represents the voice of the world, the needs of its people. It also represents the simple thanks of readers. [...]

The service station and entire setup was chosen because it represented excellent symbolism, and unconsciously referred you back to the time when your father made his batteries, and owned that business.

[...] He represents someone highly gifted artistically, and therefore stands for your artistic self as you might have idealized it when you knew that young man. [...]

It represents also the minimum thrust value necessary for physical transformation of energy from a purely psychological into a physical state. It represents, then, the minimum expansion needed to overcome physical resistance. It represents the minimum psychological expectation necessary for construction.

They of course have their results or effects on psychological levels, representing what we may call psychological personality thrust. [...]

This smallest psychological unit represents the minimum individual psychic component, the most basic personality building block, from which other more complicated psychic structures are formed.

[...] The idea itself, once you have conceived of it, represents an additional energy component that you build up, formulate and manipulate on the psychological level, and then transform; but the idea itself contains energy.

Each of the twelve represented qualities of personality that belong to one individual, and Christ as you know him represented the inner self. The twelve, therefore, plus Christ as you know him (the one figure composed of the three) represented an individual earthly personality — the inner self — and twelve main characteristics connected with the egotistical self. [...]

There are many probable systems of reality, therefore, in which physical data predominates, but such physical probabilities represent but one small portion. [...]

(9:46.) Your Christ figure represents, symbolically, your idea of God and his relationships. [...]

[...] He represented the self-betrayer. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s message from “The Sinful Self” is a case in point, for it represents a response both to my material and to a question of your own. [...]

[...] The statement that I suggested should also be written, along with those procedures; the plans for the front porch (via Frank Longwell) and for the small (class) group should be further considered, for they also represent motion on other levels. [...]

(Pause.) I understand Ruburt’s distress at times with the odd feelings of balance, but remember that these represent multitudinous changes and motions within the body, new positions requiring minute alterations of muscular tension that are actually highly beneficial. [...]

The main issues with which the Sinful Self was concerned were focused most clearly in Mass Events and God of Jane, since more than the other books they represent a direct confrontation “attacking” the very legitimacy of the entire concept of sin and evil, insisting more dramatically on the good intent of man’s basic impulses. [...]

[...] Such instances represent an excellent working rapport between the present self and the unconscious, which brings these memories to the surface in such a way that current life is enriched. [...]

[...] Together, of course, they represent the fount of creativity, psychically as well as physically.

The anima represents the necessary initial “inwardness,” the brooding, caring, intuitive, inside-turning characteristics, the inward focusing from which creativity comes.

[...] Symbolically speaking, the two together represent the whole self with its diverse abilities, desires, and characteristics.

Again, however, this represents the male lives with which the self has been involved — the young boy, the priest, the aggressive “jungle man,” and the wise old man. These are types, representing generally and symbolically past male lives lived by present women. [...]

[...] There are presently invisible layers within the body, the topmost layer that you see representing, of course, the present physical form. But enmeshed within this there are what amount to invisible layers, “shadow,” latent layers that represent previous physical images that have belonged to the personality.

[...] The priestess, the mother, the young witch, the wife, and the old wise woman — these general types are archetypes, simply because they are “root elements” representing, symbolically, the various kinds of so-called female qualities and the various kinds of female lives that have been lived by males.

[...] The rhythm represented the smooth mobility of the emotions, the ever-moving quality. The sound represented by the symbols then will speak to him. [...]

[...] It consists of three pages of rather closely spaced lettering with numbers incorporated in a few of the paragraphs, a couple of diagrams and a symmetrical symbol representing a mandala. [...]

In your language there are words that sound like the reality they try to represent. [...]

The (yoga) exercises are important because they represent a physical commitment (for Jane). [...]

(Each line is one thought, one recorded or frozen bit of action; representing or capable of representing many things. [...]

[...] I hope to go into this also at a further time, because there are definite reasons for this that have nothing or little to do with you personally, but represent a more or less natural distortion of data along these lines. [...]

[...] The entity of course represents and is aware of the lives of all its personalities.

(A juncture represents a flowering of thought through action. [...]

Now imagine anything that you choose but have a line or a platform that represents Alpha I. Have it in your mind as a symbol of adjacent consciousness at the same level, perhaps, as your eyes. [...] You may use a floor if you prefer, but see yourself upon it, for this will represent A-I.

[...] And this one represents A-II. [...]

There are root dreams that represent basic inner experiences. [...] They represent direct experience.

[...] They also represent direct experience, as the inner self once more reenters the physical body. [...]

With some individuals some of these dreams may also represent personal symbolisms, but the original dream in the raw, unembellished, is a root dream. [...]

Geometric figures represent the most simple and basic root assumptions. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) The feelings of panic represent any child’s fear of being abandoned by its parents or community if it is too rebellious. [...] They often represent humiliations, most often at his mother’s hands—humiliations that convinced him that he was indeed unlovable and bound for trouble. [...]

[...] It represents what is left over of Ruburt’s questioning and doubts, those unresolved areas that were emotionally charged not only because of, say, Church doctrine, but intensified because of emotional episodes with his mother, or other such issues. [...]

(8:30.) They actually represent very complex matters, and complex ones to explain, for in themselves they contain the seeds of material necessary for any understanding of the nature of reality and beliefs. [...]

(9:49.) Those areas have a tendency to be neglected in your minds, as if next to Ruburt’s problems they are relatively insignificant—but you would not find them so insignificant if they represented their own vital problem areas. [...]

The eyeglass dream portion: the old black frames of the glasses represented old beliefs. They were dropped into the water, the realm of Ruburt’s fears, by a young man who represented an earlier self who thought success was a male prerogative. [...]

This portion of the dream represents his realization that his eyes are clearing. [...] Before, he was afraid to go down into the fears, represented by the water. [...]

[...] You cannot exactly say that each object is a symbol of a belief that specifically, and yet any alterations that you willfully make in your behavior with the objects of your intimate environment represent alterations of beliefs. [...]

[...] One small point: as you realize, the adolescent children did represent emotional conflicts in the dream that Ruburt managed to force his way through.

In your mind, the left side represents the unconscious portions of the personality. [...]

Your brother (Loren) represents strong beliefs that you had and identified with, that could have been very limiting. [...]

The younger people represent versions of yourself, who wonder at your prominence in a different field, but you do not care. [...]

[...] His symptoms represent for him the one point of vacuum, comparatively speaking, where the acceleration that has otherwise occurred has not as yet clearly penetrated; and jointly they represent the area in which your combined beliefs have not caught up to your knowledge.

[...] It represents the invisible area, where Ruburt’s symptoms are visible. [...]
