“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The session was held in our front room. Jane began speaking rather slowly, with pauses. Her hands were raised to her closed eyes and she was not smoking.)

(This would be last Sunday’s unscheduled 230th session, during which Jane gave data on our life spans and those of Bill and Peggy Gallagher. It developed that some of this material was distorted.)

There is a fine discrimination used in our sessions. There is indeed a tuning into, a reception of frequencies. Now it is extremely difficult to lock in here. There is a pulsation always occurring. It is difficult for Ruburt to maintain steadily that particular reception of frequency, and within certain limits there is sometimes a slipping in and out, so that now and then Ruburt’s personal subconscious is allowed to intrude. This is what happened the other evening.

(Break at 9:06. Jane’s eyes opened and she was out of trance. I too had been aware of the traffic noise, although I had pulled our kitchen window closed, I thought, before the session. I now latched it tightly, which helped, and pulled the curtains over it to further deaden the sounds.

The information which you have been receiving, and which you will continueto receive, will be of great benefit, not only to yourselves but to others. Ruburt’s present book on the subject, on our Seth material, will indeed be published, and meet with success.

Information received must however be sifted through the subconscious. We are managing now in such a way that our material survives without undue coloration from the subconscious. The whole process is a complicated one, but the very act of holding the sessions is of great benefit to the organism as a whole. For the vibrations and frequencies which are received in order to make our communications possible, are also most beneficial in themselves to the human and psychic system.

They are quite literally healing. I mention this in particular to explain to Ruburt the reason for our Jesuit’s comments the other evening. I had intended however to make the point clear earlier in any case.

Now. Some of the information that I gave you in our last session, concerning the portions of the self, seem rather alien, I am sure. Do not forget however that you are not even aware of many portions of the self that you know intellectually do exist. So it is not so strange to imagine other portions of the self with which you are not at all familiar in any conscious way.

(It was 10:15. I handed Jane the envelope for our 32nd experiment. As usual she took it from me without opening her eyes, and held it against her forehead throughout. She spoke with many short pauses.)

(Break at 10:20. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her eyes had remained closed, her pace not too slow. While she was giving the envelope data some snow broke loose from a steep third floor roof of the house, and came crashing down on a porch roof not far from our living room; the house shook. Jane heard this, she said, but was not bothered by it. But she now said the earlier interruption caused by the traffic had disturbed her, and she felt she hadn’t been at her best afterwards.

(See the tracings of the envelope object on page 267, and the notes on page 268. Jane and I could make connections with the object and Seth’s data, and these are noted below as usual. Seth later adds to our interpretations.

(However, we also have a small coffee table in our apartment, and it is painted white. Jane said she thought of this table while speaking for Seth, yet knew it wasn’t the right table. To avoid confusion in speaking the data she omitted the adjective white.

(“Two people coming upstairs. Perhaps your stairs.” No one came up the stairs of our apartment house while this data was being given. The art room at Artistic, where the envelope photo was taken, is located on the second floor. Since the photo was taken at noon it is possible people were using the stairs at the end of the hall. But the impression is too vague.

Now we will shortly end our session.

(Note that Seth’s idea of our time is quite different from our own at times. The photo was taken in 1960, and Erza died in 1964; we do not call a four-year wait imminent. At various times Seth has told us his idea of time may not coincide with ours. Without going into details I recall a prediction of his that was to materialize “soon.” It did materialize, but six months later.

I would add here, once more, that during our sessions your physical organism is automatically allowed greater healing abilities. It is easier for the physical organism to utilize energy in order to make any desirable adjustments.
