“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The day had been very hot and sticky. Stormy weather had been building up for some hours. Finally it began to rain hard, with thunder and lightning, at about 9. We wondered whether a session would be held, since Seth had told us some time ago that electrical displays interfered with trance states. Yet the session began as usual; Seth, at least, was apparently not bothered.)

(There had been an accident, or fire, or both in our section of the city after the storm broke loose. With sirens screeching several cars and trucks sped past on Walnut Street, two doors away. I expected all the racket to break Jane’s trance, but it didn’t; she paused for a few moments and then continued.)

(9:37. Break came early, considering the time the session began. “Things are unsettled,” Jane said. “I was bothered at times.” She had been aware of the sirens especially. She said her trance had been “pulsating” or wavelike: she would go “in” good, and then swing up closer to her usual state of consciousness. Yet as far as I could tell the material was as good as ever, the manner of her delivery unchanged.

(10:14. Jane’s trance had been deeper, but she was surprised at the short delivery; she thought she had been out for a longer time. The rain had tapered off somewhat by now, and it was cooler. “It’s still a strange night,” she said. Resume at 10:31.)

(“The same to you, Seth.” 10:46. Jane said she felt all right. Although her trances had varied somewhat tonight, the only “additional strain” she’d been aware of, really, was some trouble going back into trance after breaks.
