“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Yesterday, Tuesday, Jane suffered no apparent psychic fatigue from her prolonged trance state of last Monday. See the last session. She has of course tried no psychological time experiments since then.

(Jane and I had an interesting little adventure this evening. Jane walked to our neighborhood store while I set to work typing. Since she did not return as soon as usual, I became a little concerned. More time passed, and my concern increased. I continued typing. Then I found myself picking up my pen. On a scrap piece of paper I wrote down: “Jane is at the Piper’s. 6:45 PM.” The thought had come to me clearly.

(Jane returned at 7:05 PM, and confirmed my thought. She had indeed, on impulse, visited Bob and Mary Piper, friends of ours whom we had not seen for many months. She had not consciously been thinking of visiting them when she left me. She recalled mentioning my name often in conversation with Mary Piper, particularly to the effect that I might be concerned because she, Jane, did not return promptly. It will be recalled that the Pipers witnessed the 73rd session [See Volume 2].

(Once again the session was held in our back room, and Jane spoke sitting down and with her eyes closed. She does not wear her glasses at all during sessions now. Her voice was rather quiet, her delivery contained pauses as usual.)

(Break at 9:25. Jane was well dissociated, as usual. She did not remember the content of the material.

(She was aware, she said, of a pulsation within while dictating. It was definite but not very strong. Jane likened it to the vibration one might feel through the floor of a house, say from traffic passing close by. At break, now, she checked to see if this was the effect she had sensed, but it did not seem to be, although traffic does pass our house rather heavily at times.

(Jane also likened this feeling, which she called feeling a “certain way,” to the rhythmical, not-too-strenuous opening and closing of a hand. Note also that she used this hand analogy to describe a pulsation in the 139th session. See page 295.

(Jane resumed in a voice a bit stronger at 9:31.)

(Break at 9:55. Jane said she was even more dissociated than during her first delivery. Seth, she said, felt very pleased with himself when he referred to the fifth dimension material; as if to say, “See, this material is why I couldn’t explain any more of the fifth dimension to you, way back in the 12th session.”

(Jane resumed in the same manner at 10:02.)

(Break at 10:25. Jane was again well dissociated. For material on the inner ego, the self-conscious self behind the self-conscious self, see the 28th session.

(Jane resumed in the same manner at 10:29.)

(End at 10:37. Jane was well dissociated as usual.

(Jane quoted this to me immediately after the session ended, and I include it here without change. My point is to show that she did not have time to consciously tinker with the thought, to recompose it in a literary sense, etc.)
