“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Nor would I have attempted such a procedure until I knew that Ruburt was ready for it, or at least ready to begin it, for this is but a beginning. He is doing well. This is of course a training period, and he may become momentarily uneasy, but never frightened. It is simply a matter of new orientation, and doing without certain props that are basically unimportant, but practically extremely convenient; such props as the divisions of sensation, fenced in from each other by pickets of minutes.

(Jane was not frightened at the new development, but still felt uneasy about relinquishing control, as she put it, during a session. For instance, she worried about not knowing the time, yet once the session began she thought nothing of it. She did feel she had given consent for the experiment. She did not think Seth would try “pushing through” any startling information tonight.

(Jane said it would be easier to block any material that frightened her while she was pacing about. The new method, when she sat quietly, with the added ingredient of the long pauses, made blocking probably more difficult. The pauses interrupted the sense of the material to some degree. This might remove the impact from words or phrases that ordinarily would alert her to block them.
