“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Since September 30 Seth has held two ESP class sessions; held a session for our friend John Barclay, who is moving to Nevada; held two sessions concerning the work Jane and I are embarking upon because of this material; and spoken through Jane upon television once more — this time during our return visit to a Washington, D.C. station.

(Early this month Jane and I bought an anthology containing a long section by Carl Jung, the Swiss psychoanalyst who died in 1961. Jane hadn’t finished reading this part of the book when Seth suggested, in the 554th session for October 19, that she lay the book aside: “Let Jung go for now.” He did not elaborate. This wasn’t Jane’s first contact with the writings of Jung by any means.

(It had been raining all day. Jane had been to the chiropractor today and was very relaxed — so relaxed that I asked her if she felt like having a session. She wanted to, she said. Her eyes were half open, her voice very quiet, almost conversational, as the session began.)

(I thought I would get Seth’s reaction to Jane’s physical state. “How do you feel?”)

(By now Jane’s pace had quickened a good deal.)

(10:02. “Very good,” I said to Jane as she came out of trance. “Yes,” she said, “I could tell it was great, ‘cause he’s got a lot more to say.” Yet she looked so limp and heavy-eyed, so bleary and yet relaxed, that I wondered if she could stay awake to continue. Resume in the same manner at 10:21.)

Each inner self, adopting a new body, imposes upon it and upon its entire genetic makeup, memory of the past physical forms in which it has been involved. Now the present characteristics usually overshadow the past ones. They are dominant, but the other characteristics are latent and present, built into the pattern. The physical pattern of the present body, therefore, is a genetic memory of the self’s past physical forms, and of their strengths and weaknesses. (10:29. Jane rubbed her eyes; she was speaking slowly, with many pauses.)

(10:45. Once out of trance, Jane said she now felt as good or better than she had before the session began. She was surprised at the sudden ending. She had felt “really passive” during the session, and I had listened to her pace grow slower and slower as the session progressed.)
