“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The idea for it had come to me one day and I had begun work on it at once. In view of some rather odd sensations it had engendered within me I had thought it might refer to Seth, or myself in a previous life. Jane had admired it at once, even from the first drawing, and insisted all along that it pictured Seth.

(My sensation of Friday night, July 9,1965.

(I then began to feel an enlargement in both of my hands, and in the left side of my face as it lay upon the pillow. The sensation progressed to a remarkable degree, lasted for well over five minutes by my estimation, and was unmistakable. The feeling grew until each of my fingers felt themselves to be several inches in diameter. I could literally feel or sense their greatly-enlarged diameters.

(At the same time, I would get the feeling that the fingers of each hand were united or combined into thick clublike paws, as though I was wearing great baseball gloves. The two sensations were sometimes apparent together. Either or both were very pleasant after the strangeness disappeared, and I lay quietly and deliberately did my best to analyze and remember each sensation. The sensation finally dwindled slowly away.

(I recalled, also, that as I was drifting off to sleep upon retiring that evening, I had been aware of a slight sensation of tingling or thrilling in my hands. This mild sensation has been a rather standard one for me during psychological time, when presumably I was in a light state of dissociation. This was by far the most pronounced feeling of enlargement that I have experienced, and is separate from the other strong bodily sensations of thrilling, or the feeling of sound as Seth describes it, that I have known upon a few occasions.

(For data on my other sensations and some visions, see the following sessions: 22, 24, 26, 27, 65, 145, 146, 163. These would not include, either, the “fat hands” sensations that Jane and I experienced during sessions.)
