“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(My back was beginning to bother me this morning, at around 11:00, so I sat in my chair, in the studio, and closing my eyes began to use the induction technique that Jane had used on me in our previous sessions. It appeared to work, and while I rather easily put myself into some kind of trance state I at the same time gave my beneficial suggestions, etc., aiming principally at relaxation, to reduce the back tension I could feel building up.

(While it was progressing I began to feel very loose and relaxed, my head rolled, etc. For some odd reason I had a greater command of the muscles in my scalp. They felt as though they moved much more easily and to a greater degree than usual. I also told myself that at the count of three I could bring myself out of it any time I wanted to.

(There followed a very confusing [and to me upsetting] several hours during which Jane and our neighbor, Leonard Yaudes, tried contacting Miss Callahan’s doctor, her relatives, her friends, our landlady, and a hospital. The relatives at first refused to help, seemingly out of fear of Miss Callahan herself. There were mix-ups, in which Miss Callahan’s doctor was waiting for her at the emergency room at the hospital while Miss Callahan stayed home, and during which time Jane called the relatives several times, pleading with them to help, etc. It finally ended when Jane and Leonard secured the help of another doctor, who arrived by midnight and stated that Miss Callahan should be in the hospital.
