“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Brotzanin II had been one of the ships with which Seth had been connected in his Denmark life. The II, he told us now, meant that this was the second ship by that name. It had been a Danish frigate—a warship before coming into Seth’s hands as a merchantman. Seth owned it in 1631-32, and used it in the spice trade.

(Bill Gallagher doubted that warships were used by merchantmen but Seth told us this was common in those days; all ships had to be armed anyhow as a protection against piracy. The Brotzanin II had not been in very good shape when Seth acquired her. The conversation led to some of the voyages the ship made. Seth quite emphatically reminded us that most of the time he “kept his feet on dry land,” but he did talk about a few voyages he made. He stressed that he was a merchant rather than a sailor.

(Bill and I tried to pin down the route of the Brotzanin II, and seemed to get a course that included the Azores as first stop, then around the bottom of Africa at the Cape of Good Hope, up the east coast to Madagascar and Zanzibar. Zanzibar is the source of cloves, I recall from my own reading; Jane said she did not know this. However Seth said the ship did not stop at Zanzibar on all trips.

“In brilliant, limpid color: I dreamed that a ship—a freighter colored a warm gray and a rust-red-orange—sank in the ocean. [...] I watched the ship sink on an even keel through the blue-green water to the smooth yellow and tan and brown sandy ocean floor—but instead of settling motionless there the ship began to ‘sail’ or plow its way across the ocean bottom, almost as though it were a car moving along a road. [...] I saw no people or fish—just the ship, the ocean, and its floor, which was free of obstacles to the ship’s easy passage. The fact that the ship could navigate that way underwater was a revelation to me, and I knew that in some way this boded well for my future. [...]

Your dream³ fits in here in its own fashion, for you see that the ship of life, so to speak, rides very swiftly and beautifully also beneath the conscious surface, traveling through the waters of the psyche…. [...]

Ships.

(“Did you own ships?”)

(“Then how were ships involved?”)

[...] This particular expedition was lost, and you divested the ship of its cargo with the help of the men on your ship, and of course without giving payment. Alae (spelled out), now that was the name of a particular type of cargo, perhaps algae, that was a part of the ships contents. [...]

This referred to a ship instead on the water, at a time when you crossed the Atlantic and came to Boston. [...] This referred to a time when a leakage was discovered on the ship. [...]

He was bound up with you in the past life and what he did not know then, and he knew much, he has picked up telepathically from you, since the washing machine was a visual distortion of the idea of a ship, which he interpreted as a tub. [...]

[...] The dream said that Ruburt died once and yet lived again, and that as you survived a leaky old ship at one occasion, so would the basic selves always survive.

[...] Change our knife image now into an imaginary rocket ship, so that our dissection involves many more dimensions. The rocket ship would be the inquiring inner self in motion. [...]

My friend Ruburt has been correct however, and we must have a tighter ship! [...]

My friend Ruburt has been correct, however, and we must have a tighter ship! [...]

[...] This was off the south coast of Africa in approximately 1342 and it was not a galley but another kind of ship, a native ship, but with a high mast. [...]

([Gert:] “In one of my mirror trances I got an image of a man climbing the ropes of an old-fashioned ship. [...]

[...] They were the crew in a ship that sank off coast of Spain. [...]

[...] They were the crew in a ship that sank off coast of Spain. [...]

[...] The correct interpretation was that of a vessel, the ship, in which the Tubbs woman toured; the breaking bag, winds unexpected during a day of travel during the cruise.

Part of Ruburt’s dream, you see, did have to do with a ship; and here with a second vessel and the water, you find that information was given on a subconscious level to Ruburt concerning his friend’s journey. [...]

[...] But while Ruburt did get the correct message, another topmost layer of his subconscious took childish revenge by changing the symbolism of vessel as ship, into vessel as womb, container of life. [...]

[...] At this moment, there also popped to mind the fact that I have a collection of perhaps 30 books on old sailing ships, the sea, pirates, etc. [...]

[...] A ship is thought of as a she. [...]

The ship had the word “maiden” in its name, however, and carried cargo from a Southampton to Boston.

[...] To land their own rocket ships, space travelers must enter your atmosphere and use its conditions while maintaining their own integrity. [...]

Now any physical event is something like the impact of a rocket ship entering your world from “somewhere else.” [...]

[...] And instead of rousing sympathy in me his downcast mood had the opposite effect; I don’t care if you came from Timbuktu by refugee ship, I thought. [...]

[...] I do not know if this refers to stern as severe, or stern as a ship.” [...] The connection would be the Glen, where there is a beautiful pool and stream, leading to stern “as a ship.”

[...] I do not know if this refers to stern as severe, or stern as a ship.

[...] It is like a splendid ship, the body, that you have chosen ahead of time for a splendid challenging adventure—a ship that you have personally appointed that is equipped to serve as much as possible as a physical manifestation of your personhood.

[...] In his dream the washing machine leaked, leading him into a third level, where the tub was a symbol for the old ship that leaked when you, Joseph, were a passenger on your way to Boston in a past life.

[...] The past administrator of the gallery was known to you in that life, and was a passenger on the same ship. [...]

[...] Here the leaking of the tub referred to the leaking ship on one level, and to the difficulties that were being experienced by her old friend on another.

[...] I thought that perhaps it was a ship model. I then recalled that earlier in the week Bill Gallagher and I had been looking at some of my books on the ships of the 17th and 18th centuries. [...]

There is a plane down or a ship in difficulty in their locality and resulting activity in a port at the far tip end of the island furthest down in this particular group of islands (voice slurred and slow). [...]
