“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“As I sat here before the session,” Sue wrote, “I got an impression of Seth that I’d never had before. It was as though Jane, Rob, and I were traveling at a certain familiar speed while we were talking, although this has nothing to do with motion. When Seth came ‘around’ just before the session, it seemed that something within Jane began to crank up, to whirl or accelerate faster and faster until a certain incredibly other speed was reached — a part of Jane’s consciousness that is called Seth.

(“At that point the speed was right and things ‘clicked’ somehow. Jane took off her glasses, as she always does. I could almost hear this action; then the Seth personality began to communicate. The Seth Two experience would be an even greater acceleration of this speed, reached at the point of the pyramid effect Jane describes.

(“Even while I told Jane about this during break, I could feel this acceleration begin again, as Jane’s consciousness prepared to continue the communication. It was almost an inside-out process of going into trance, and as I watched Seth a few minutes later it seemed that Jane’s consciousness was rushing past her open eyes, beyond my comprehension of what speed is. I now must wonder how the communication ever gets back down to words.

(“I don’t mean to say by this that I think Seth and Jane are the same personality; rather, my feeling is that this acceleration connects portions of the same consciousness that are normally so diverse as to be two separate personalities for all practical purposes. I can recognize the same feeling of acceleration when I’m writing well myself, or even talking enthusiastically; but the feeling of vast, incomprehensible speed behind Seth’s eyes goes way beyond that. I could sense the notion of speeds very clearly, both in Jane and Seth, and I felt partly carried along by them.

(“When Jane came out of trance it was, again, an almost audible experience for me — a feeling of slowing down from a high airy whine to our normal ‘sound’ or speed. There was a great sense of change. It was as though part of this acceleration was connected with a dimension where sound was more than a hearing thing. It’s a terrific, vital feeling. I could feel it starting up toward the end of each break.”

(10:37. Sue was on the edge of the couch, watching Jane closely as she came out of a deep trance. Once again she talked about the change in Jane’s “speeds.” “A sound goes along with those speeds that I can’t describe,” Sue said. “It’s like being in a dimension where music is the reality — where sound is more than just hearing things. Then when you leave it — “Sue whistled, imitating the Doppler effect of a train whistle receding into the distance.

Now for our friend’s sake, I am speeding up the acceleration to see if she can perceive it. This often takes place during the dream state — and when it seems to you that you have briefly entered an astonishing new dimension, the dream state itself involves such an acceleration.

(When Jane came out of trance, Sue was again “drastically aware of the drop” in Jane’s speed. She also had some visual effects that were hard to describe; in an effort to pin these down, she began adding to her own notes, and these are quoted at the end of the session.

(“Before break at 11:10,” Sue wrote, “when Seth told me that he was speeding up the acceleration to see if I could perceive it, I had the definite feeling of greater speed and a visual change in Jane’s body. It seemed to become smaller, as though I were looking at it through the wrong end of binoculars. This was again connected with motion, as though the physical frequency was also changed, and Jane’s body was rushing past me, even while staying in the same place.
