“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The session was witnessed by Patty Middleton, who drove down to Elmira from Ottawa, Canada, yesterday to attend Jane’s ESP class. We met Patty in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in September, 1970, while we were on tour for Jane’s own book, The Seth Material.

(Today Patty filled Jane in on her studies in operant conditioning; how, with a simple Yogalike technique, monitored by an electroencephalograph, she learned to “turn on” her alpha brainwaves. This resulted in her achieving a certain state of relaxed awareness, where perceptions and feelings were held in ideal balance.

(Patty enthusiastically told us that Seth’s material on the various stages of consciousness, in the 569th and 570th sessions in Chapter Seventeen, closely agreed with her recent studies. In addition, her comments and information fit in so well with this present chapter that I began to wonder if something more than coincidence had led her to visit us now. We hadn’t been corresponding with her.

(A note: Patty read the late chapters of Seth’s book but Jane did not. The two of them discussed the material, though.)

(To Patty, amused): I did not think that you did a very good job imitating my voice. Now surely I do not sound as badly as all that…. I have a few remarks.

Now you may take a break and rest your fingers. (To Patty): — and if you think a pretty thought, you may make a flower grow up there (in the living room) somewhere.

(Patty: “Just randomly? Like throwing a line into the water? Or is it possible to use some direction?”)

(Patty: “Will I discover myself just by trying these various states?”)

(Patty: “That’s a nice answer.”

(Over two more pages of material for Patty followed. After that, with my right hand practically numb, I put my notebook aside and joined Patty and Seth in an impromptu discussion. Seth’s energy and vitality seemed to be inexhaustible — his pace even speeded up. The session ended at 11:37 P.M. All of us were weary.)
