“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The first thing she wanted to know when she came out of trance was if the session contained new material. I had to tell her I didn’t know; I’d been too busy writing. Nor could I keep all of Seth’s book in mind, even though I was working with the manuscript just now. But then, Jane said, neither could she — and she’d just finished reading the whole thing over.

(“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.

(“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.

(Again Sue watched Jane expectantly as we waited for Seth to return. “Wow, the acceleration’s terrific,” Sue exclaimed; and just before going back into trance, Jane told us she felt the chair vibrating beneath her…. Resume, with pauses, at 10:57.)

(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.

(11:25 P.M. Once out of trance, Jane had little to say. “I’m just sitting here, watching you two busy bees,” she grinned, as Sue and I worked on our separate notes.

(“Then when Jane came out of trance at last break, I felt as though a force had been released in front of me, so that if I wasn’t careful I could topple over. And the same thing now, after the session.”)
