“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now first of all Joseph, when I speak too quickly you simply must tell me so. If you do not speak out then indeed I am not to blame—

(In the 136th session such an interruption was enough of a shock to Jane to cause Seth to end the session. During the session with Dr. Instream, the 169th, held in his office at Oswego, Jane demonstrated an ability to go into and out of the trance state very easily. This marked the first time she had switched focus so easily, repeatedly. Now, Jane walked back to her chair. Before she was seated she had reentered the trance state, and was speaking. Resume at 9:01. Her voice was still quite deep.)

Now. We will indeed cooperate in any investigation in which we may become involved. We will however progress at our own rate, without due speed, and we will in all cases keep our own sessions as uncomplicated as possible.

There will indeed be a give and take between the three of us, and your good investigators. I thought it best in our recorded session that I speak frankly, now, and so I did.

I am interested in adding now to our own discussions, for it is time that we enlarged both their quality and scope. We will almost immediately embark upon a more concentrated study of the personality as it operates within its dream reality.

We will also find that it becomes natural and easy for Ruburt to speak in the manner in which he is now speaking, as a matter of course; and full concentration can still be given to the material in which we are interested.

(Lorraine had asked the questions. Now Jane, her eyes still closed, leaned forward in her chair toward Lorraine. Holding her arms outstretched she moved them up and down like wings.)

(Jane was very restless in her chair, now leaning forward, then back. Her voice was still deeper than usual. She smiled.)

I will now suggest that you take a break. I will also tell you, Joseph, that with my voice I am like a bird trying out its new wings. (Jane’s voice grew abruptly much louder, briefly.) And if I grow overenthusiastic I trust that you will forgive me. I will here in your apartment however keep a careful watch.

I am attempting to take some workload from Joseph now. He needs a rest in this respect. We will however in our next session return to our usual format.

It is very possible that Ruburt will soon discover that I am who I say I am. He knows this subconsciously, but I am speaking now of a conscious recognition. I now bid my friends a fond (deeper and louder) good evening. And if I do not sound like a nightingale, it may be said that I speak in tones not quite as bad as a grandfather frog.
