“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Tonight’s session was again held in our living room. It was an extremely hot and humid evening. Traffic noise was more audible than usual but Jane appeared unaffected. She spoke while sitting down and with her eyes closed, in a voice strong enough to penetrate the background noise, and at a good rate with very few pauses. As she has done often lately, she spoke a good deal of the time while sitting forward in her rocker, her elbows resting on her knees, her head tipped down to some degree.)

(Break at 9:26. Jane was fairly well dissociated for a first delivery. Her delivery had been fast, her eyes closed all the time. During this delivery a very heavy rain began to fall; it was noisy, but her voice surmounted the additional noise without trouble. She was vaguely aware of the rain, she said, and of the content of the material.

(Jane began to speak again in the same fast manner, with her eyes closed, and in a somewhat quieter voice. Resume at 9:34.)

Once such a pathway has been constructed, we have what you may call an action pattern or habit. Therefore, when cross currents of action are constructed, action will continue in those directions unless it is diverted back to other channels. Then the secondary or impeding channel will automatically be closed off. But all action must be withdrawn from it, for as long as the channel remains, then the possibility remains that the impeding action will reoccur.

It is extremely difficult, but it is possible for the human system to close off, for all practical purposes, a channel that has been used for the flow of such an impeding action. The channel may automatically disappear, but the action itself can never be withdrawn.

(Break at 10:07. Jane was well dissociated. She had spoken at a fast pace and with a good voice, with few pauses and with her eyes closed. The rain had stopped, and the humidity was high and uncomfortable. That is, I was uncomfortable, my writing hand moist and clammy. Jane was perfectly at ease, her skin quite dry and fresh. She was not at all aware of heat or humidity while delivering the material, she said, but was well aware of the conditions at break time.

(She resumed with her eyes closed, and with a quieter voice, but with the same fast rate of delivery, at 10:16.)

The information is not closed to it. It simply does not use it, and there are several quite sufficient reasons for this, reasons that have to do with the necessary apart manner in which the ego, when it operates as a separate unit, views the physical universe.

(End at 10:40. Jane was more dissociated for this last delivery, she said. Her eyes were closed for the whole session, her delivery fast for the most part, her voice strong.)
