“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

I do think that these sessions have helped you, generally speaking. The very fact of their existence has been an advantage to you, though you may not know it, and I have hinted at this before. You are wishing for many answers from me, and I have always felt the pull of your inquiries. However at the same time you do set up these blocks; for you are not afraid of the answers, but you are afraid basically that they could be given in this manner.

(Jane had been speaking rather quietly if rapidly, with her eyes closed. Lorraine, who was also taking shorthand notes, sat close by. Now Jane, her eyes still closed, leaned rather quickly toward Lorraine and her voice boomed out briefly. I confess that I jumped. I didn’t have time to observe Lorraine’s reaction.)

I am not frightening now, am I? I am indeed as peaceful as a tired old dove with battered wings, and a beak smoothed down. This does not mean that in time you cannot yourself knock down this particular barrier.

(Break at 9:55. Jane had been dissociated as usual. Her eyes had remained closed, her pace had been good. I had indeed been watching the volume of her voice, for several times during this delivery I thought I noticed a tendency to escalate in volume. A couple of times I was on the verge of asking Seth to be careful, but the voice quieted each time by itself.

(Jane’s voice had been pitched quite a bit lower than usual, even when quiet, and this was a bit unusual in that the deeper voice usually grows stronger also. See the 191st session for Seth’s explanation of why the voice grows so much stronger at times.

(Seth’s statement above, about trying something else, surprised me somewhat. What I say here is purely subjective, since I did not write it down at the time it occurred. This afternoon while working I had the rather clear thought that Lorraine would witness the session this evening.

(Break at 10:24. Jane said that Seth had her “really out” during the delivery. Her eyes had remained closed, her voice stronger at times, her pace good.

(A conversation followed concerning the above data, which was too fast and involved for me to note down fully. Being surprised, Lorraine needed some time to think, for memory to work. At first thought she recalled nothing involving herself as a 15-year-old. Lorraine then began to recall bits and pieces of events which, she thought, might fall within the pattern Seth had been producing in the rest of the data.

(Lorraine is separated from her husband. Seth’s whiskey connection arises from the fact that he was drinking heavily at that time in Asheville; the only time he did so. There were arguments, Lorraine said. If her youngest child, a boy, had listened, he did so at the age of one. Lorraine remembers a black mailbox; the apartment of course had a rear entry also. Lorraine described a party to us.
