“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(As session time approached Jane became increasingly nervous. She felt this way because of our rather long rest, and the recent developments in the presentation of the sessions themselves. She had no idea of the subject matter for the session, nor did she know whether she would sit with her eyes closed or pace about as usual.

(I now became aware that Jane seemed to be pacing about the room with her eyes closed, or very nearly so. Certainly they were far from being wide open, as they usually were when she was on her feet. From my position they appeared to be closed, but from the confident manner in which she moved about the room I thought she could see a little at least.)

(Part of the time her eyes were fully closed as she paced about the room, Jane said, but she could not give me a percentage estimate. The rest of the time her eyes were “cracked open” just enough for her to see. Jane thought Seth intended that she begin the session sitting down; instead she got up, and we think it reasonable that as compensation Seth introduced the nearly-closed-eye experiment.

(Jane now sat down in a wicker chair opposite my writing table. She had not been smoking while delivering the material. Her eyes almost shut, she groped about on the table for her cigarettes, lit one and then leaned back with her eyes closed.)

(When she began dictation again Jane remained seated. Her eyes were closed, her glasses off, and she was smoking. Resume at 10:12.)
