“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.)

There are shadings and variations and that is all. The inner ego is that part of the inner self which is closely allied with the outer ego, in that it is to some degree a director of function and activity. But it is not sharply focused. It looks inward. Here we run into some language difficulty.

I will shortly close the session.

The experiments that you have done in projection were most beneficial to you in the past. Throw your consciousness outward into nature, and your inwardness will be replenished. The power and necessity to feel is a strong necessity within all planes. I have never suggested to you that you close off from this.

I will close because you are, I believe, somewhat tired. But because I am your friend, pay heed to what I say. My fondest regards to you both. You must be open, even to maintain the strength of the ego itself. But when you are not open, not only are you imprisoned by the moment, but you are not able to enjoy even that fully.
