“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

For personality reasons neither of you would be happy, I’m afraid, were Ruburt to go into deep trances at my instigation during sessions. And you, Joseph, would be much less enthusiastic even than Ruburt. So we must simply work as we are and make the best of it for now.

With deep trance the conscious outer state is completely switched off. Knowledge is forcibly poured down the imaginary gullet, and I can’t feel very enthusiastic over such a method. What we are doing may be slower on your terms, but the effects are more durable and the whole self is aware of any knowledge thus received.

You have no idea of the temptation on my part to cram you as full as I possibly can, and this is the temptation to which my enthusiastic colleagues often fall prey. Especially when they leave their student powerless to resist, though this is somewhat of an exaggeration. In any case bear up, you two grumbly bears. I wish you both, even Ruburt, a fond, merry and undistorted good evening.
