“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(Seth now made a reference to Lorraine by her entity name.)

(Among others, Seth talked about the direction of focus of consciousness in the 94th session. Volume 3.)

(Break at 9:55. Jane was again well dissociated. She said she felt as though the Seth voice was pulling her along. Her trance was deep, she felt very free, she said. She remarked that the feeling was similar to the two Father Trainor episodes, of February 11,1965 and May 30,1965; I too had had the thought that there was a similarity here, and thought I detected a hint of a brogue in Jane’s delivery at times. She had exhibited a rather marked brogue during the Father Trainor episodes.

(The value climate of psychological reality has been designated by Seth as the first of the basic laws of the inner universe, and was first discussed in the 44th session, in Volume 2.

(Jane’s eyes opened, then closed. In particular, see the 66th session of the series on the creation of matter. In that session also, Seth stated the above statement can be verified mathematically. Volume 2.)

(Break at 10:25. Jane was well dissociated. She ended the delivery on a humorous note. Her eyes had been mostly closed. She again had no idea that she had been speaking so rapidly; even Lorraine wondered if Seth was trying to find out just how fast she could take shorthand. I would say that Jane’s delivery was faster than ever before, her voice loud.

(“Good night, Seth.”

(Lorraine and the Gallaghers left soon after the session. Jane, I noticed, seemed to be still wound up and did not immediately retire as she usually does after a session. We talked about the high peak of psychic activity she had reached recently, and she said she felt that Seth was “still around.”

(Finally, we sat in the living room and Jane once more began to speak for Seth. I had put my notebook away and did not get it. Jane sat on the couch and I leaned back in a comfortable chair. Her eyes were closed, her voice quiet. The short session was somewhat like a conversation between Seth and me, although I did not ask too many questions. What follows is a summary, made up from memory immediately after the session ended. Resume at 11:45 PM.)

(Speaking for Seth, Jane began by saying that we could forego Wednesday’s session if we chose to, in view of the extra work involved recently in the longer sessions. Jane was indeed at a peak of psychic activity now, her highest to date; he liked to take advantage of such periods when he could.

(Seth repeated several times that we wouldn’t regret this burst of psychic energy, or the time involved, because it meant an increase in Jane’s ability to focus energy. The witnesses tonight had been extremely valuable; for different reasons [which he did not go into]. Seth stated that such gatherings increased Jane’s ability to utilize energy on different levels. This ability is still increasing. Seth uses witnesses as “practice” for Jane. Her ability to draw upon others would be very valuable in the “near future.” I believe he implied here that Jane would be speaking before larger groups, perhaps soon, and that possibly many in such groups would be strangers.

(Seth took care to see that Jane did not overdo it. He understood my concerns along these lines, and I had nothing to worry about. Any time we wanted to, we could obtain information from him. There would also be times when Jane’s energies would be at a lower ebb. There is much about energy and cycles and Jane’s abilities that he hasn’t explained to us yet. He is fond of us, and we have learned much.

(Seth answered my question by saying it was a good idea for Jane and me to attend the hypnosis symposium at Oswego next month, and to meet Dr. Instream, the director. The visit would have far-reaching effects, for us and for the material. I had rapport with Dr. Instream from reading his books. This is why I wrote to him in the first place. Jane and I would feel this rapport when we met him, also.

(Seth enjoyed such casual get-togethers as this, and I mentioned using our tape recorder for more of these, keeping the sessions somewhat shorter to make up for the extra time involved in replaying the tapes for transcription. Seth understood the problems we faced in our daily lives, and didn’t want the sessions to take up any more of our time.

(Nor did he recommend that we spend any Saturday nights, either alone or with friends, trying seances or other psychic activity. We needed instead outgoing activity such as our dancing, and being with others. Seth closed by saying we could have time off whenever we wanted to, that we had but to ask, and that I could end any session whenever I wanted to.

(End at 11:59 PM. Jane’s eyes opened slowly. She said she felt relaxed, that Seth was gone now and the session was over.)
