“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I made a list of these, added a quick sketch of the horses, and Jane’s Saratoga experience and ecstasy experience, pages 65 and 66; all with the idea of quizzing Seth about them at tonight’s session. These experiences with psychological time have become so intriguing and numerous that Jane and I devised a method to keep a list of them, in chronological order for quick reference.

(Both of us napped until 8:45. No witnesses were scheduled. We felt quite relaxed, although as session time approached Jane felt somewhat nervous. She began to dictate in a normal voice, pacing slowly, and maintained these patterns all through the session. Her eyes darkened as usual.)

(Jane laughed.)

(Break at 9:28. Jane was more fully dissociated than usual for a first monologue. Since this material was so interesting we decided to wait and see if Seth would take up our own personal experiences with psychological time later in this session. Jane resumed in the same low-key manner at 9:39.)

(Break at 10:02. Jane was fully dissociated; she remembered very little of the material she had just delivered.

(Last Saturday Jane received several brief flashes from Seth; we have been concerned lately with the best way to handle the problem of witnesses—that is, to familiarize potential witnesses with the material, and at the same time keep our sense of privacy, and also maintain control of the sessions. Jane rather angrily cut Seth off, feeling this is a problem we must handle ourselves.

(Jane resumed in her quiet manner at 10:14.)

(Now Jane’s delivery became quite slow and measured.)

(Break at 10:30. Jane was now fully dissociated, she said, more so than usual. During this last material, she felt Seth trying to break the concept of it down into terms understandable to us. She also felt that at times it would not be possible to break concepts down into words. She resumed at 10:40.)

(Break at 11:06. Jane was dissociated as usual. As soon as break began, I became aware of the now familiar swelling, or feeling of enlargement, in my right hand. It became very definite. I also felt it to a lesser degree in my left hand. Jane then said that she too had the feeling to some degree. We took no measurements, not being prepared; in a few minutes the sensations began to recede.

(Jane resumed at 11:14.)

(End at 11:25. Jane was dissociated as usual, “coming up,” as she puts it, toward the end of the delivery. During the session her eyes had darkened as usual; throughout her voice remained rather normal. Neither of us experienced any more hand phenomena.)
