“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

SESSION 27

(By 8:45 Jane was nervous, but not as much as usual. The 26th session with John Bradley as a witness had done her much good; especially had the telepathy effect increased her confidence. Jane took this as a sign that she is using whatever abilities she may have, and is not practicing subconscious fraud.

(Jane said these flashes reminded her of her statements about concepts or patterns as a whole unit, made during the 24th session. See page 177. She believes that Seth is going to give us much more information on this method of receiving data.

(By 8:50 Jane felt definite stirrings from Seth, which pleased her because she didn’t have to wonder about how she would do this evening. I had the board set up, ready for the opening of the session. But at 8:55 Jane surprised me by beginning to dictate. And so again we did not use the board to open a session. Jane began to pace rather rapidly.)

(Jane and I were rather amused by Seth’s cavalier advice to keep the board. But then we had never told him these sessions began on a borrowed board. It belongs to our landlord, James Spaziani.)

There is so much I want to say. When your training is further advanced, much further advanced, we may be able to take certain short cuts. It is difficult for me to have to string out this material in words, and for you to record it. You see, it is possible in theory for you to experience directly a concept-essence of the material in any given night’s session.

As for another advancement you have made, beside dispensing with the material board—and this advancement has to do with the so-called flashes that Ruburt has received between sessions—he has achieved a state in which he can receive inner data from me more readily. But beyond this he is now able in some small way to contact me. That is, I have contacted you in the past, and now you are gaining the ability to contact me, and this is a step forward on your part.

I am sorry that we could not cover more material but this personal data is important. Do you want to break or end the session?

(11:27. Jane collapsed on the couch. She said she had never been so tired before. Yet is was very pleasant, like a deep lethargy. We were discussing the session, particularly the last portion, when Jane heard from Seth again. Resume at 11:33.)

(In the next session, the 28th, Seth discusses the reply a well-known psychiatrist sent us in answer to my letter of Friday,. January 31, 1964.
