“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] A psychological force who wanted me to understand the danger of such a course, and when I went back to sleep somehow the entire thing would happen again.... [...]

Ruburt’s body is changing while he sleeps. [...] He is sleeping better—all issues that should be remembered. [...]

[...] Open up the gates of your consciousness while you sleep! [...]

[...] When your ordinary, conscious, waking mind is lulled in like your sleep state, you travel in other dimensions. [...]

In this case the sleep-nourishment period is activated as a cushion. [...] Now, you may try to range about, as you have before sleep. [...]

[...] Therefore, actually producing the physical work for the publisher was going to be up to me, and I was anxious to begin work on this once we’ve established some sort of viable daily routine revolving around Jane’s nursing care, sleeping schedule, medication, etc.

[...] Even as I sat beside her at the round card table in the living room, writing these notes, she kept nodding off into sleep. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) I do not mean to appear unconcerned, either, Joseph, about your own inconvenience at such times, or the breaking of the sleep pattern. I am saying that the situation contains excellent creative opportunities that outweigh the lack of sleep or whatever thus far experienced. [...]

Open up the gates of your consciousness while you sleep! [...]

[...] When your ordinary, conscious, waking mind is lulled in like your sleep state, you travel in other dimensions. [...]

[...] Many of my readers find themselves in just such situations while they are sleeping. [...]

Instinctively you leave your body for varying amounts of time each night while you sleep, but those journeys are not “programmed.” [...]

[...] Looking ahead a bit: In tomorrow night’s session, though, Seth does explain her weekend sleep-state encounter with his voice.)

[...] In fact, she was snoring before I could get back to sleep myself.

(Jane slept until noon, and again during the morning thrashed about often in her sleep, and sometimes whimpered or cried out, presumably because of a dream. [...]

[...] She’s been sleeping much better generally, though, is still taking a nap in the late morning as well as our usual nap break just before supper. [...]

(Bill was still alternately sleeping and preening himself beside me on the couch, as he’d been doing all through the session. [...]

[...] These can be dissipated if Ruburt reminds himself before sleeping of his intent to work on the dream book tomorrow and Friday morning.

[...] The peanut oil can be applied before sunning, or before sleep.

(Jane has been sleeping poorly, lying down for a couple of hours at a time at the most for the last several nights. This morning she did surprise me—and herself—by sleeping until noon, probably out of exhaustion. [...]

But often, after doing all this, I would simply fall back to sleep again, dream normally until morning, and lose the clear memory of my experiences. [...] It became a great joke between Rob and myself, this “laying down on the job” or going to sleep in order to go to work. To some extent, it also upset my ordinary sleep schedule, so I usually experimented in this way for only a few weeks at a time.

[...] Instead of going to my typewriter at 8:00 A.M. as usual, I lay down and set the alarm for 9:30.1 gave myself the suggestion that I would go to sleep, recognize my state when I began to dream and project my consciousness out of my body. [...]

[...] You construct dreams whether you wake or you sleep. You are only familiar with your dreams when you sleep, for then your perception and your energy is focused in that direction.

In sleep, when the ego is quieted, then the self looks in other directions. In sleep the self becomes conscious of its dreams, but this does not mean that the dreams have not existed while you were not conscious of them. [...]

Tonight Ruburt also desired to know the time, but he was sleeping. [...]

[...] The new schedule was still taking its toll in lost sleep; though we had felt good at the beginning of the session, already we were let down. [...]

[...] When the ego is completely or nearly completely subjugated, as in sleep, then there is direct experience through the inner senses, but no conscious awareness of it.

5. Jane used an imaginary musical analogy in describing her sleep-state experience with “mental earphones” — but here are two psychic events of hers that can serve as real-life analogies: 1. Her reception 10 months ago, while asleep, of multidimensional data from Seth, which she followed the next day with her own material on neurological pulses; see Appendix 4 in Volume 1. 2. Her hearing Seth’s thunderous voice in her sleep two months ago, as described in the opening notes for the 710th session.

[...] As they have rather often recently, the phenomena had persisted in varying forms through her sleeping and waking states. [...]

(At 9:12 Jane reminded me that she’d been sleeping much better recently. [...]

Our late sessions helped bring about several important dreams that I have mentioned, and also activated other therapeutic layers, so that different kinds of messages have been received while Ruburt was in the sleep or dream state. [...]

[...] The spiritual guide was the doctor Ruburt heard in his sleep and immediately questioned, and he is quite valid. [...]

[...] Jane was obviously very tired; she wanted only to sleep. [...]

[...] Data gained through waking learning endeavor and experience are checked in dreaming, not only against physical experience, but are also processed according to those “biological” and “spiritual” data, colon: Again, that information is acquired as the sleeping consciousness disperses itself, in a manner of speaking, and merges with other consciousnesses of its own and other species while still retaining its overall identity. [...]

[...] That state of sleep, therefore, is not simply the other side of your consciousness, but makes your waking life and culture possible.

[...] When you are sleeping, then, your consciousness often ventures into other realities, usually in a wandering fashion without tuning itself in to any precise frequencies. [...]

(I reminded Jane that during Monday’s session, the 710th, Seth had promised to “shortly explain” her hearing his booming voice in her sleep state last Saturday night. [...]

[...] “I’m hoping he says something about when I heard his voice in my sleep.” [...]

“1. Some of the (hypnagogic) images you see in your mind prior to sleeping, and those at other times, are alternates — that is, you could see those pictures physically if you opened your eyes, instead of the ordinary reality you ‘know’ is there. [...]
