“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

SESSION 154

(Jane has begun her psychological time experiments, though she is still not on a regular day-to-day basis. Her experiment mentioned by Seth at the opening of the session was not a spectacular one by any means. It involved what Jane calls merely her “good state”. In more exceptional cases this escalates into her version of ecstasy.

(For some material on this sensation on Jane’s part, see the 39th and 50th sessions in Volumes 1 and 2, and the attached notes. For the same thing on my part, see sessions 24 and 35 in Volume 1. There are many other accounts of it scattered through our psy-time notes preceding various sessions.

(Yesterday, deliberately, I mentioned to Jane that Seth had not given us any more material on the inner senses for many sessions. What I meant of course was that he had not catalogued the later material under the various inner senses, as he had originally designated them. I felt that he would eventually do so. Checking the various categories of material against the original list of the inner senses, it was usually easy to see where the two fit together.

If you recall, many sessions ago, [the 24th] we discussed feeling sound.

I am not going to hold a very long session this evening. Rather than give you fairly frequent short vacations, I may at times close a session early. We still come out ahead in terms of time. We are heading here indeed, slowly but surely, toward a thorough discussion of the inner senses, which could not be given until you had a good background in the nature of action itself. For you should be able to see now that the inner senses allow a more faithful perception of basic reality than the outer senses could ever give.

Any perception instantly changes the perceiver. It also changes the thing perceived, and this we will discuss at a later session, for it involves the other side of the coin, so to speak.

I will indeed now close our session, the reason mainly being that Ruburt has been oriented in a quickened fashion toward our work since he began his book again, and he has used additional energy in doing so. I am always conscientiously aware of his condition at any time. It is only the transition here that has caused the additional use of energy, and he is readily adapting himself so that he will not be under strain. Our sessions have been highly compact as of late also, and intensified in energy content.
