“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(It rained this evening, and in the cooler weather we held the session in our small back room. Using this room increases our sense of privacy, being sheltered from most noise as it is, and the risk of interruptions. Jane was quite restless during the session, changing position in her rocker frequently. She spoke with her eyes closed for the entire session; at times her delivery was quite fast, other times it was broken by pauses. Her voice was about average for the most part.)

(Jane said she had experienced another “concept feeling” while speaking, as she had in the 149th, 151st and 153rd sessions. Unlike the others however this involved more of a feeling rather than any visual images, and made describing it difficult. It involved, Jane said, some kind of inner comprehension that she was learning something in a new way, as though some kind of undifferentiated sense was operating and soaking up information. The feeling of being inside a concept, she said finally, was as good a description as any. As she has mentioned before, she believes she becomes aware of such concepts when Seth is dealing with material that is difficult to put into words.

In this case the illness could not be called an impeding action, unless it persisted long after its purpose was served. Even then, without knowing all the facts surrounding the personality, you could make no judgment, for the illness could still serve by giving the personality a sense of security, being kept on hand, so to speak, as an ever-present emergency device in case the new unifying principle should fail.
