“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Bill and Peggy Gallagher were witnesses to the session. As usual the presence of witnesses fired Seth up. His delivery was more active and quite fast from the beginning. Jane’s eyes however remained closed. For much of the session she sat on the edge of her chair, leaning forward with her hands clasped together. She began at 8:58.)

(Jane faced me while speaking this last phrase, her eyes still closed, and in good humor.)

(Break at 9:10. Jane was dissociated as usual for a first delivery. Her eyes had remained closed, her pace had been quite fast and expressive. She resumed in the same manner at 9:28.)

(Seth broke off his material to introduce this bit of humor because Bill, sitting perhaps five feet away, was leaning forward and staring intently at Jane as she spoke. Smiling, her eyes still closed, Jane now shifted her chair so that she did face Bill squarely.

(Break at 9:48. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her eyes had remained closed. Her pace had been fast throughout, her voice somewhat stronger but not loud by any means.

(This is the 20th Dr. Instream test. As usual Jane now began to speak at a much slower pace. She sat with her head down, a hand raised to her closed eyes. Resume at 9:58.)

(Here Jane began to describe the shape of the clock in the air with her hands, as she spoke with her eyes closed. Since she was so definite about the clock’s shape, I made a quick drawing of my version of her description. This of course caused me to miss out on a few words of her verbal account, so I took the chance and asked her to repeat her description. This is the first time I have asked her a question during a test. She responded without a sign of bother or irritation, and her second description was the same as the first, as near as I could tell.

(Break at 10:11. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her eyes had remained closed; her pace had picked up considerably toward the end of the delivery. She told me my question did not bother her; also that she saw the clock she was describing pretty clearly. She was aware of the traffic noise.

(Jane and Bill now made their drawings of the clock, without seeing each other’s or mine, and my copies of all three are below. It’s apparent the three of us agreed pretty closely on what we saw. Note that only Jane points up the uneven gilt surface in her version.)

(When Jane began speaking again her pace was once again fast. Her eyes were closed, her voice average. Resume at 10:20.)

(The pace was now even faster, and occasionally I omitted a word in the notes to keep up; this did not alter any meanings. Seth was most amused and pleased at the exchange. Jane sat with her eyes still closed; her movements and facial expressions were active.)

(Seth/Jane now turned toward Peggy, who had been sitting quietly by. Jane’s eyes were still closed, although she was smiling. It will be remembered that Seth has strong subconscious abilities.)

No one, you see, wants more proofs than our friend Ruburt, but often consciously he wants so much that he closes the doors through which I can come, and sets down barriers that belong to the ego alone.

(End at 10:40. Although Seth indicated a break this turned out to be the end of the session. Jane had been dissociated as usual, and her eyes had remained closed. Her pace had been quite fast at times, and as stated before I occasionally skipped a word in her delivery, or shortened a phrase, etc., without altering any meanings.
