“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Trying psychological time for fifteen minutes on Tuesday, November 17, and Wednesday, November 18, Jane achieved an excellent state on each day.

(Yesterday a friend from our Sayre days visited us. We had not seen Sonja for several years. She is a nurse, has married a doctor from Turkey, and is spending a few months in this country before joining him in Turkey. Sonja has always been attached to a portrait I had painted before Jane and I were married, and at various times had urged me to sell it to her. Yesterday she asked me again to sell her the painting, and I did even though it had sentimental value for Jane and I.

(I did not know it at the time, but Jane would have preferred that I keep the painting. Truth to tell, we both missed it after Sonja left. However I have photographs of it and will now do another one similar to it. The results should be better since I am a better artist now.

(Jane had no idea of the material for the session. She began dictation in a voice a bit deeper and stronger than usual, and again without her glasses. Her eyes were dark, her pacing slow, and she spoke with her usual pauses.)

(Break at 9:30. Jane was well dissociated for a first delivery. Her diction had again become quite positive and elaborate, almost forceful and loud. She resumed in this manner at 9:39.)

(Break at 9:59. Jane was again well dissociated. Again with her glasses off, she resumed in the same energetic and definite manner at 10:02.)

(See the 54th session, May 18, 1964, Volume 2, page 91, etc. Seth deals with this fact to some extent as far as his relationship to Jane is concerned. Jane is not Seth now, he states, not his subconscious mind; nevertheless Jane’s entity Ruburt is, now, an extension and materialization of the Seth that he was at one time, centuries ago. See also the 63rd session for a brief mention of the same theme.)

(Break at 10:29. Jane was again well dissociated. My writing hand was tiring, otherwise I would not have taken the break. Jane’s pace had been fairly rapid. She resumed in the same active manner at 10:34.)

(Jane now gave a broad smile as she paced about the room.)

(End at 10:50. Jane was dissociated as usual. Seth, she said, “came through like a bell.” My writing hand was tired.

(As this material continues to expand, Jane and I realize more and more that indeed nothing is simple in explanation. For this reason we have curtailed our questions concerning a quick explanation on any subject that might interest us at the moment. Most of the time now we do not even ask.

(The following material is from Jane’s psy-time notebook:

(It will be recalled that Jane is still limited by Seth to fifteen minutes of psychological time practice a day. See the 105th session.)

(November 19, Thursday, 8:30 PM: Mild thrilling sensation upon lying down. Hands enlarged somewhat on tops. The unusual thing achieved this time was that my left heel came to feel that there was nothing beneath it, as though it hung off the edge of the bed. The sensation had good duration and was unmistakable. I verified that my foot actually was on the bed by exerting pressure. This sensation is like some Jane has experienced recently. She achieved a much greater degree, however, as when she attempted to travel psychically and ended up in her trance of November 4, 1964. See page 116.

(The scene flickered at full strength for a second then was gone. I was so surprised I spoke aloud; Jane answered and I then described it to her so I wouldn’t forget it by chance until I could write it down in the morning. After speaking to her, I again saw the two figures less clearly, walking or climbing in the rough white terrain.
