“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(As usual Jane spoke while sitting down and with her eyes closed. She also spoke more rapidly than she has for many a session; my notes indicate she delivered the first monologue entirely without pauses. It soon became apparent that the unaccustomed traffic noise was having its effect, also. Jane began speaking in a rather normal voice, but before long it began to deepen and strengthen. The volume increased a little, but the lower key and a peculiar heavy monotone her voice acquired cut across the noise. I heard her without difficulty. She maintained this heavy voice for most of the session.)

The subconscious however is not so limited. If you consider the ego at the apex of the moment point, and imprisoned therefore within the realm of its own before-and-after, cause-and-effect experience, then you can imagine the subconscious reaching further outward and seizing upon many other moment points. It should be easy to see then why the focus of the ego is so sharp and brilliant. Within its limited scope there is intensity of stimuli and response. Indeed, the ego is that portion of the personality which is plunged into a specific and intense preoccupation with a given field of action or dimension.

In such cases the artist captures the dominant essence, and through the energy which he has given the art, it then makes such an effect upon the ego, which could not ordinarily perceive so much.
