“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(For the record: On June 1,1965 I mailed to Dr. G. H. Instream a letter explaining something of Jane’s ability and the Seth material, plus a list of the inner senses, a list of the basic laws of the universe, and copies of sessions 138, 141, 142, 149, 153 and 154. The letter was sent c/o Colgate University, Hamilton NY.

(Because of the witnesses the session was held in our living room. Again traffic noise was quite audible, yet it did not bother any of us unduly, as it had during the last session. Jane began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes closed, in a voice a little stronger than usual, and at a fairly fast rate. Her manner was quite expressive and she used many gestures.)

(Break at 9:18. Jane reported that she was quite a bit more dissociated than usual for a first delivery. She did not remember being bothered by traffic noise. Bill Gallagher said he agreed in general with what Jane was saying about his case, as far as he could follow the involved sentences in dictation.)

What the personality must be led to see is that any real permanence would indeed be the death of the ego and the personality. For as we know, the ego is not the same today, in your terms, as it was yesterday, nor yet as it will be tomorrow. That “I” continually changes.

(Break at 9:51. Jane was very well dissociated, she said. Her eyes had remained closed. Toward the end of this delivery her voice had increased in volume, and at times almost boomed out.

(Break at 10:15. Jane was again “way out,” as she puts it. Her eyes closed, she blinked several times, then came out of her trance. She said her eyes felt heavy when break came. Her delivery had been fast toward the end.)

(Jane’s eyes again opened briefly and she looked at Bill. Her eyes were large and very dark. As she spoke now they began to open and close periodically. Her delivery was faster, and her voice was becoming more emphatic, and louder at times.)

When I said earlier that the ulcer was not a part of you, like a leg or an arm, I meant this literally. Because you believe this literally, literally you have allowed the ulcer to become a part of your self-image, in the same manner that an arm or a leg is a part of a self-image. And it is this connection that we must, and we will, cut.

(Jane was speaking most emphatically and quite rapidly. Her eyes were open. She stared directly at Bill.)

(Break at 10:45. Jane was well dissociated. She ended the delivery by staring at Bill again, and speaking in a loud and positive voice.

(Jane’s voice was now louder and softer alternately.)

(End at 11:03. Jane was well dissociated again. Her eyes had been closed except for the one instance noted. Bill Gallagher said he thought he had noticed a change in Jane’s features, at least in terms of expression, during this last delivery. It was hard for him to describe, he said.

(Jane stared at me and grinned broadly; and for a second I thought she really was going to sound out.)

However, I know too well this serious, and may I say mature, nature of your personality, though it was not so in Denmark. So I will, with my best respects, and with some regrets, close our session.

(End at 11:20. Jane was again well dissociated. Once again, Bill Gallagher reiterated that he thought he detected a change in Jane’s features, particularly about the mouth.)
