“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane had given a very long session in ESP class last night, along with Sumari. I thought she might not want to go back into trance tonight, but at 9:30 she said she was ready. We held the session in her study for a change. “I felt exhilarated earlier,” she said, “but now that’s gone and I’m just relaxed.”

Now: Good evening.

(We had a window open because the night was quite warm. Now I tilted my head toward it, listening. Faintly, above the sound of the rain, I heard geese once more.)

(2. The use of animals — rats, say — in experiments involving injections, before giving them to human beings. [Man’s psychological reality is so sweepingly different from that of the animals, Jane added now, that he would inevitably show a wide variety of reactions.]

Now: Man has a far greater leeway. He forms his reality according to his conscious beliefs, even while its basis lies in the deep unconscious nature of the earth in corporeal terms. Man’s “I am,” [seemingly] apart from nature — a characteristic necessary for the development of his kind of consciousness — led him into value judgments, and also necessitated some break with the deep inner certainties of other species.

(11:30. “I feel a strange combination of tiredness and exhilaration now, as though I’d had a whole lot to drink,” Jane said. “I know a little alcohol helps in these sessions, but it wouldn’t if I carried it very far.” She had been sipping wine tonight.

Now: An animal has no need of conscience, in any terms.

Now, I could continue for some time.
