“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I told Jane to wait a minute, and laid my writing board aside. I knelt to pick up the insect, and found it quite difficult to do. I remember that it resembled a beetle, was about half an inch long, was a beautiful light red-brown color, and lay helplessly on its back with its legs thrashing. It was very nicely shaped; I seemed to see it as though under a magnifying glass; all the details of its construction seemed crystal clear. When I did get it in my cupped hand without damage, I felt it struggling with surprising strength. I went to the kitchen window, opened the screen and tossed the insect free. I sat back down and picked up my pen.)

(Break at 10:05. Jane was dissociated as usual. She said her back, which had been bothering her during the day, felt fine while she was delivering the material; but as soon as breaks arrived the nagging discomfort returned each time. Jane resumed in the same strong, rather energetic fashion at 10:14.)

(Break at 10:46. Jane was dissociated as usual. Once again she said her back felt fine during delivery of the material. She felt while delivering that Seth thought he had gone too far in giving us the hose-snake material at this point, since it raised too many questions he didn’t want to go into yet.

(End at 11:01. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her back felt much improved since the beginning of the session. My writing hand felt just a little tired. The sculpture Seth refers to above represents some done by students in Bill Macdonnel’s art classes; at the end of the school year the students did not claim their work, so Bill presented us with some pieces. We like them very much.)

(Thurs. 6/25, 8:30 PM: I achieved my usual thrilling sensation as I suggested to myself that I felt light. Once I had attained the desired state I am now used to, I then suggested to myself that I would enter a deeper, secondary state. This appeared to work; I felt similar to the state I experienced when Jane hypnotized me and used age regression. However on this first instance I had no phenomenon, and was somewhat distracted by children playing outside.
