“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Break at 10:23. I was of course aware that regular break time had passed some while ago. For one thing, my right hand was quite cramped. Indeed it was almost painful, and I would have been forced to call a halt soon in any case. I also believe that while taking down part of the above material I was in something of a light trance state; sometime after our regular break period had passed, I seemed to become aware that I had been writing steadily without any awareness, or very little, of the material I was taking down.

(Jane experienced also her now familiar fat hands. She did not become aware of this until a minute or two after break began. Her hands were very moist, and appeared to be thickened, especially both index fingers. We talked of making arrangements to measure the circumference of her fingers before and during this phenomena, to see if there is actually any physical enlargement.

(Seth, she said, could go on for hours. The break was only for my benefit, to rest my hand. Where it had bothered me earlier, I now felt no discomfort however. When Jane began dictating again she immediately took up with her very energetic and forceful manner. Resume at 11:17.)

If your hand is tired by all means take a break, old friend.

(“My hand is okay.”)

However, if you invited me to stay longer then of course I would. In any case you had better break. Ruburt’s hand sensation is now most obvious, representing as it does merely a small and insignificant aspect of the extension of self which I mentioned earlier. When this first occurs the natural reaction is to translate it in terms of physical camouflage data, so that you get a corresponding enlargement of tissues. Take your break or end the session.

(End at 12:05. Jane was fully dissociated. Her hand sensation began to recede as soon as the session ended. Neither of us felt particularly tired but thought we’d notice the lack of sleep tomorrow.
