“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This afternoon at about 2 PM workmen took down the tree that had partially fallen on March 6. See the 33rd session. It was a very beautiful elm tree that died several years ago, and I was quite attached to it. With a power saw one man cut into the base of the tree; pulling on a rope thrown over a higher branch, two other men pulled it down. When the tree fell its branches seemed to crumple and break as though there was no strength left in them. And as I watched it strike the ground, I felt a wave of sensation sweep over me, the rich tingling, the feeling of perhaps an inner wind that I described first in the 24th session. Even after I had gone back to work I felt at times a residue of this feeling, very faint, in various parts of my body.

(“What was the sensation I felt when the tree fell?”)

A point I wanted to add, Joseph. What you actually felt when the tree fell was the pain of the tree, in much muted form. The tree while dead still had consciousness. As a rule you will usually have such experiences to begin with through one inner sense. You are not adept enough yet to recognize inner data from more than one direction at a time.

The man as he knows himself felt hardly anything. His inner self knew, as the inner self is always aware of such endings.

(Break at 10:07. Jane was dissociated as usual. She delivered the underlined material above by pounding on the table as she spoke. Jane felt we had been experiencing foreshortened time. She said that with this kind of material Seth has to open her up more than usual to get it through, that he gets her into a conceptual framework state of mind.

To the extent that you are able to allow yourselves to be aware of data received by the inner senses, you are preparing yourself and are that far ahead. You remember, Joseph, the rather frightening sensation you felt during one instance of your use of one inner sense, when you translated inner data into the almost nightmare picture of open mouths that could not scream. This is but a minute instance.

Ruburt, as I mentioned earlier, has always felt a kinetic unity with the earth, and experiences in a watered-down fashion the seasonal burying of seeds. This results in a claustrophobic reaction that is lessened with the coming of your spring.
