“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(By 8:45 Jane was somewhat nervous; but she said that for recent sessions she has not felt as unsettled as she used to.

The distortions can be cleared, however. The general material is very seldom blocked or distorted. I feel perhaps that I should apologize to Ruburt for pushing more through than he was willing to receive, and with this for now I will let the matter rest.

(Break at 9:28. Jane was fully dissociated. By the time break arrived, her delivery had become quite slow and deliberate. With many pauses between words or phrases, she gave the impression of searching carefully for just the right word. She resumed in the same manner; indeed her delivery became even slower and more careful and deliberate, so that at times she would pace from one end of our living room, where we hold the sessions, to the other end before voicing the next word. Resume at 9:32.)

In itself matter is not continuous. What you perceive as change or growth in a living physical structure is not change or growth as you conceive it. The physical properties of matter are not continuous, in that a particular given tree or rock is not at all the same tree or rock, physically, today that it was yesterday. Nor will it be the same tomorrow. The chair upon which you sit this evening is not the same chair, physically speaking, that it was last evening.

(By now Jane’s delivery was even slower. Her apparent search for each word, just the right word, continued. She spoke with much emphasis; so much so that I thought her voice already was showing signs of strain.)

(Break at 10:07. Jane was fully dissociated. I thought that already she showed signs of weariness, especially in her voice. She said that Seth was pushing her to the utmost, although she didn’t know exactly what she meant when she said that. I believe that I too was in some kind of light trance state during this delivery, since I felt quite lethargic. Oddly enough I found trying to write at a slow pace, matching Jane’s delivery, more difficult than to proceed at the more rapid rate I am accustomed to.

(Break at 10:35. Jane was again fully dissociated. By now she was very tired, the session was really taking it out of her. At the same time she thought the material very good.

(To my surprise, when she resumed dictation she remained seated–something I do not recall her doing before. Her voice was very quiet; she sat quietly with her eyes closed for the most part. She spoke at a faster rate and did not appear to be searching or struggling for each word. Resume at 10:45.)

(The above change that Seth made in mid-sentence is, to the best of my recall, the first he has ever so made. Jane was still sitting down as she spoke, facing me across our living room table.)

(End at 11:22. Jane was dissociated as usual. Although tired, she felt much better—pleasantly relaxed, she said, as one might be after a long swim. When she stood up again while talking she felt very relaxed. Also, I had no discomfort at all in my writing hand.)

(Tuesday 6/9, 8:30 PM: This involved something new for me, and may be significant. First I had my usual thrilling sensation at the suggestion of lightness, once I had attained the desired state of light trance. Then, I became aware that I was watching and listening to a man in a light gray business suit. I saw him from the waist up, from a position just in back of his right side. I saw his profile. He had brown hair combed straight back, almost a double chin, a sharp nose and high forehead, and in his right hand he held a microphone; he was talking into it, giving a lecture on something to do with weights. The figure 700 was used, I recall. I heard his voice, which was pleasant and somewhat deep, quite clearly, and understood his remarks, but again forgot them as quickly as I heard them. I could not tell if he was with others or not.

(However, I then succeeded in doing something I had wanted to do for a long time. I remembered to ask his name, and as I did so I discovered it was no effort at all. The man replied, without turning around, that it was Daniel Murphy. I then asked his age; he said 42. I then told him my name, and he repeated it. After this I believe I asked him to contact me, but this becomes fuzzy and vague. There was more but it was indistinct and is totally forgotten now. But this is the first instance I was able to follow Seth’s advice and attempt to impress my presence upon others when I had the chance.
