“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(An impromptu unscheduled session was held last Friday evening, November 5, for a group of young people. No notes were taken, nor were they intended according to Seth, but I want to note a few points.

(One question concerned what Seth actually “sees” when he is confronting a witness, and he answers this briefly in tonight’s session. I would like to note one physical effect that took place. There was a lighted candle on the coffee table before the group, and as Seth was speaking the flame increased noticeably in height. I called the witnesses’ attention to the effect. All windows were closed since it was a chilly evening, and the air was quite still. The enlarged flame lasted for several minutes, then gradually subsided. The flare-up of the candle flame was sudden, not gradual.

(The same effect took place during the 182nd session, which was witnessed by the Gallaghers. Seth stated then, as he did last Friday, that he was at times able to produce such effects when Jane, or Ruburt, was not alert and consequently on guard.

(No envelope test was held during the session this evening.

(The session was held in our back room and was quiet. Jane spoke while sitting down and with her eyes closed for the most part. Her voice was quiet, her pace fairly good, although with pauses.)

There are some matters that I said we would discuss, concerning experiments in recording dreams via your recorder, using suggestion to awaken you after a dream sequence. I also told you that we would discuss some implications arising from the fact that Philip was able to hear my voice, and we shall not overlook these matters.

I can, it is true, focus exclusively upon the present individual. This merely involves a change of focus on my part, and a narrowing of focus and concentration. There is much more that can be said here, but we shall save it for another occasion. The matter was in your mind, and I am giving you a simple and direct answer.

(Break at 9:20. Jane was dissociated as usual for a first delivery. Her voice had been quiet, her pace fast enough. Her eyes had been open slightly for some of the time. She resumed in the same manner, but with her eyes closed, at 9:38.)

You have many more than five dreams a night, however. I believe Ruburt’s top number of recalled dreams for one night was thirteen. Now there is something else here that must be considered. The very self-suggestions that will enable you to recall your dreams may also change their nature, to some extent, for any action changes any other action.

(Jane’s eyes were now open again, wide this time and very dark. She was again smoking, and speaking rather quickly.)

(Break at 10:00. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her eyes had remained closed since last noted. Her voice had been quiet, her pace fast.

(It was now time for the 15th Dr. Instream clairvoyant test. As usual Jane spoke now with her eyes closed, except for one instant when she put out her cigarette. Her voice was quiet, her pace not too slow for the most part except for a few long pauses. Resume at 10:07.)

(Break at 10:19. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her pace had been very slow toward the end of the delivery.

If Philip did not already have a familiarity with me in these sessions, it would have been very difficult for me to have made my voice clear to him. It also happened that I was speaking in warning, and therefore his own subconscious was willing to let the contact take place.

Philip was not consciously thinking of me, and his ego was not on guard. His subconscious mind however did consent to the contact, because I impressed upon it the fact that I considered the situation potentially dangerous to him.

(End as 10:29. Jane was dissociated as usual, her eyes closed, her voice quiet, her pace about average.

(Jane feels the voice John heard within can have one of three explanations: It was Seth; it was a subconscious creation on John’s part; it was a telepathic communication, on a subconscious level, from Jane to John.)
