“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This morning Jane had an experience that pleased her greatly. Putting herself into a light trance state, she used appropriate suggestions before she went to the dentist to have her teeth cleaned. Such cleaning has always been very painful for her because of heavy tartar deposits, but today she withstood an hour’s heavy scraping with practically no discomfort.

(Her dentist was so puzzled by her exceptionally good reactions that in the middle of the session Jane had to explain her apparent insensitivity to pain; usually it takes two trips for her to achieve the same results, with the use of Novocain. Today she had no anesthetic of any kind, and in addition her dentist reported he was able to do a much more thorough job.

(Jane said she thinks her practice with psychological time experiments had much to do with the ease with which she put herself into a good state, since she achieved it in about five minutes. Nor were her gums sore at all afterwards.

(Jane also had another success involving her cooperating subconscious. Last Saturday afternoon she lost a package downtown while shopping. It was late in the day before she discovered this, and she just had time to make the rounds of the stores, all of whom reported nothing found and turned in. At home that evening she questioned her subconscious with the old pendulum technique, and learned she had left the package in the dressing room of a certain store—one which had already said no package had been found.

(Jane called the store Monday, and was told the package had been found. I drove her down to the store for it Monday evening. She plans to use these two experiences in her ESP book. Jane tells me that she now has little talks with her subconscious, requesting its help. I have been experimenting also with subconscious communication, at times with excellent results, and also using the permissive “I can” approach, rather than the commanding “I will” approach.

(Lying down for a nap late this afternoon, Jane heard a loud noise within, then felt what seemed to be a blow within her head—that is, a rather strong jolting without any external cause. The experience was so vivid she found her head rocking back and forth on the pillow, like a “flower on a stem.” She has felt this jolting before, for instance on April 28,1964, and on April 30,1964, just before her “Saratoga experience”, but not recently. See Volume 2, pages 64-65.

(The session was held in our small back room, and again Jane spoke while sitting down and with her eyes closed. She displayed no particular voice effects. Her pace was a good one, though not as fast as last session’s.)

(“Can you tell us good colors for Jane and me?”)

(Jane now took a long pause, by a good length the longest of the session. For the most part her rate of delivery was excellent. For the session dealing with the refrigerator see the 30th, in Volume 1. It was unscheduled.)

(Break at 9:32. Jane was dissociated as usual for a first delivery. She resumed at a good rate and in an average voice at 9:42.)

(Seth devoted the 88th session to the layers of the subconscious, especially Jane’s third undifferentiated layer. He discussed his source and structure to at least some degree in many sessions, among them the 128th, the 24th, etc.)

(Break at 10:09. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her pace had been good, with few pauses. See page 16 for a description of her psychic experience of this afternoon, referred to above.

(Jane resumed in a voice a bit deeper than usual, and at a good pace, at 10:20.)

(Jane now took a very long pause. It was one of her few pauses during the session.)

(End at 10:44. Jane was fully dissociated.)
