“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

SESSION 249

(The 46th envelope experiment was held during the session. See the tracing above. The object was a red satin bow that had been kicking around the studio for some months; at various times I had idly thought of using it for an experiment. I did not think Jane had noticed it particularly, and she confirmed this after the session.

(Jane did not feel very well before the session, but when I mentioned calling the session off she insisted on holding it. She began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes closed. Although she was tired her pace was good. She was not smoking.)

I want to stress some points mentioned in our last session, to the effect in particular that you perceive only a small portion of any given action even when that action has some of its origins within your own physical field.

(Jane’s pace was faster now, and her eyes had begun to open as she sipped some wine occasionally. If she was tired she gave no indication. I felt it was going to be one of those sessions where she became really involved with the material.

(Seth began talking about quasars and related background material in the last session. That material in turn resulted from a question I asked, or a comment I made, in the 246th session. Once again, quasars are quasi-stellar radio sources, presumably at the farthest reaches of our observable universe according to our instruments. They contradict our laws of physics, being many times too bright for their size and distance, and emitting much too much energy. See the article on them in Time magazine for March 11,1966.)

(Break at 9:27. Jane said she was really “out”, or that Seth was really “in.” She was aware of nothing but the material while speaking, and felt the ideas were good. Her pace had been fast toward the end of the delivery; her eyes had been open much of the time and very dark, and she had spoken with emphasis and many gestures. She now felt much better. She said she wouldn’t have been surprised had Seth called off the session in the beginning.

(For some material on antimatter in particular see the 60-63rd sessions.)

If you have no more questions we will end the session. Or I will continue on other matters after a break, as you prefer.

(“The other day Jane said she’s never dreamed of you yourself, although she’s dreamed about the sessions. But she’s had experiences involving you in her psychological time experiments.”)

We will take that up after a break, or at our next session. The choice is yours.

My heartiest regards to you both. We have had a good session.

(End at 10:54. Jane was dissociated as usual. Her eyes had begun to open occasionally toward the end of the session.)
