“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane rather surprised us by opening the session in a voice that was surprisingly deep and somewhat loud. I can say that the voice was somewhat deeper than her voice in the 170th session, though lacking of course anything like the sheer volume displayed in that session. At times it was almost a bass voice, quite vibrant, produced without visible strain. Indeed, Seth was in an almost jocular mood.

(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.)

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.

I am indeed aware of many of the events in both of your lives, but it is relatively simple for me to so acquaint myself with your situations. I am willing at any time to render whatever services I can so render, but I do not walk ghostily through your rooms; and most certainly I do not peek through the windows.

(Break at 9:47. Jane was dissociated as usual. She remembered some of the subject matter in a general way, and thought that if she tried hard enough she could retain more of it. Her eyes had remained closed, her voice had been a little lighter in timbre at times.

Otherwise we will shortly end. I am concerned that we return to our material, for there will be times when it will be necessary for us to focus our energies in other directions. Such circumstances will not arise frequently, but they will arise. I am most sympathetic, Joseph, to the predicament in which you found yourself last weekend, and when we are alone we will discuss efforts that may be taken in the future. You did very well, considering the whole situation.

(The above passage refers to my parents. Seth has discussed them at various times in the past and his advice has been very helpful. Among others see the following sessions: 17, 18, 21, 27, 53, 93 and 94, ranging through Volumes 1, 2 and 3.)

(End at 10:05. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her voice maintained its deep tones until the end of the session. Seth closed out on a loud and deep and humorous note. And again, the peculiar accent that Bill Gallagher insists is not an Irish brogue, was in evidence at times during the session.)
