“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The heading The Wonderworks first came to Jane as she sat at her desk last Friday morning, May 17. She realized immediately that it was connected to the extraordinary series of dreams she began having early this month. [These total 33 so far and their number increases almost nightly. I’ve barely mentioned them in recent notes — just for sessions 696 and 698 — but Seth has had a good deal to say about them in current personal material.] Many of the dreams have been quite long and involved. I’d say that some of them are classics of their kind; Jane’s own symbolism is beautifully illustrative of the way dreams can offer insights and solutions to very real physical challenges. Her whole nighttime adventure here is a most practical one, and is worthy of an extended study elsewhere.

(Jane wrote an intuitive dissertation on the wonderworks idea as soon as she received the title; this took up two single-spaced typewritten pages. She was in “a slightly altered state of consciousness” while transcribing the data. The following excerpts from her paper show the unity that underlies her daily activities; for she thinks that her own dream experiences, “Unknown” Reality, and The Wonderworks — to use a set of recent examples — are so interrelated that practically speaking it would be futile to try to separate them.

(We also see creative connections between the way Jane produced The Wonderworks this month, and the book outline for The Way Toward Health last March, as described in Appendix 7. She conceived and delivered the latter while in a dissociated state also. And as with The Way Toward Health, she doesn’t know whether she’ll ever carry The Wonderworks any further.

(Selections from The Wonderworks:)

“Wonderworks — inner experiences just beneath usual consciousness — contain different orders of events.¹ Literally the stuff of all creativity (in miniature).

“The ways in which dream material becomes real, the processes involved, are the same ones by which the universe itself becomes objectified to our views and experience. The universe is the result of a certain kind of focus of consciousness; the stuff of it, the matter, rises out of inner wonderworks — of which the private wonderworks of each of us is a part.

“Other species of consciousness gain their experience at different ‘levels’; often we encounter such consciousnesses in the dream state, then interpret their actions in the wrong order of events … according to our own camouflage³ system … Our bodies are the focuses for only the physical part of our consciousnesses … My latest dreams are giving me a picture of the nonphysical inner wonderworks …”
