“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(We were by now more used to our new schedule, and felt more alert for the sessions. By 8:50 this evening Jane was nervous, as usual, having no idea of Seth’s subject matter for the session.

We are quite old friends, even in this existence by now, after so many sessions. Who else do you speak with more than you speak to me?

(Now Jane began to slow up in her dictation, as she has in recent sessions. Once again her manner became quite slow and deliberate.)

There is only a relatively small layer of personal material, and therefore egotistical and distortive material, at the upper reaches of the subconscious. This layer can be quickly recognized, as a rule. Ruburt recognizes it now, and he is no scientist or psychologist. For the record, you understand that I am referring to egotistical material as that portion that is concerned with the outer camouflage-oriented personality, and that the stronger inner ego actually represents the power and ability behind the outer ego.

Now. Directly, so to speak, beneath this personal material in the subconscious, is racial material which could be of great value to psychologists in their study of racial histories, and resulting psychological differences of the various races. Underneath this is material dealing with the species as a whole, with its background, evolution and inner knowledge.

(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.

(However, Jane could not get her wedding ring off at all, no matter how hard she tried. She had removed the other ring she usually wears before the session. It fits loosely as a rule, but now she had to force it back on her fourth finger; contrariwise, she then had to wet it to remove it.

(Jane’s delivery had been becoming more spirited. She was now talking somewhat faster, using many gestures, and pacing more rapidly. Now she rapped upon my desk for emphasis.)

(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.)

(Jane leaned over the desk, smiling at me. She had smoked a great deal during the session, and now her voice was becoming quite rough. It became quieter, her delivery slower. She remained at the desk for a few minutes, then moved over to our living room window.

This have been a very good session. I could go on for hours. I will not out of deference, though I am tempted. In Triev there were nights where we talked, and now again there are nights where we talk.

Proofs will be given that cannot be denied. Messages will be received that no one else can know. Our foundation is being built now, and it will be firm. At later dates, for your own personal edification, we will discuss lives that you have lived and lessons that you have learned. You will see others helped through your efforts, and advances made where there were none.

(Jane’s delivery now was very slow and quiet.)

As much as I truly regret closing the session I will do so, so that you can get your sleep. However I am often here, and my energy pervades the chair, Joseph, upon which you sit, and the pen with which you write. I hesitate even now to close the session, but realize that you must be weary.

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.

(She was therefore moved from the hospital on Saturday, April 18. Miss Callahan’s condition showed the following symptoms: erratic behavior, yelling, screaming, throwing things, trying to get out of bed. [She has been tied in bed for some time now.]
