“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(We became cramped physically. Jane’s voice also tired, so to relieve her I began to speak. Now Jane, Judy and Lee were prone upon the floor by the divan. Our idea was that our receptive state might make it possible for one of us to speak for another personality should one be present, or for another level of the self. I did not try to bring Seth into the experiment. I had been speaking for perhaps ten minutes, however, when Jane abruptly began to speak for Seth from her prone position. She lay flat on her back but soon sat up.

(Seth began by stating that he had been with us throughout the evening. He said we had chosen a poor method of experimentation, if we did not want to contact him, since Jane has been conditioned to respond through him when we sought contact with discarnate entities. My idea had been that Jane might speak for another personality, such as in the Sarah Wellington or the Malba Bronson instances. See Volume 1, page 64 for the former, and 103 and 127 for the latter.

This time we see the development of the personality. We see that balances have been made here, we see the emotions having stronger bearing upon the personality. We also see, as I mentioned in your own case Joseph, we see an attempt to overcompensate. As once he would not trust the emotions and does not trust his reason, this being an attempt to compensate. Indeed its purpose is a good one, but any compensation of this sort must be balanced by the personality itself in all cases.

Death came at one time from a knife wound. The involvement between the two personalities of the man and the woman at this time is a good one, as far as commitments previously in other lives is concerned. We find here also a balance of strong points and weak points, and again, compensations.
