“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes closed. Her pace was slow and she used many pauses, some of them long. A few of these will be indicated.)

Some of you are rather rigidly held within your own system even in your dreams, and though you exist within other dimensions such individuals are not aware of them. (Long pause.)

Now. Mankind did at one time have what you may call a heavier body than at present. (Long pause, over one minute.) This particular body type has not vanished entirely by any means. The mental body, sometimes called the astral body, is the next one that you will inhabit. You inhabit it now, of course. (Long pause.)

Training and disciplined experimentation in the manipulation of this body will be of great benefit, for you will be facing some of the conditions that you will have to face when the physical body is discarded. (Long pause.)

You will be gaining considerable experience of a vital kind. (Long pause.) You will learn to maintain stability and identity in the midst of a bewildering number of strange and previously unknown situations. With time you and Ruburt would do well indeed to set up experiments in which you try to contact each other while you are in the dream state. (Long pause.)

As you progress the sense of identity will be strengthened to meet, you see, the new challenges. As I mentioned earlier, in your cases the personality has set up certain safeguards so you will be in no danger. When such safeguards are not erected however, there is some danger. (Long pause.)

(Break at 9:26. Jane was “out” as usual. Her pace had remained very slow. Many of the pauses during the delivery lasted for over a minute. Her eyes began to open finally, and she smoked a cigarette and sipped iced tea. She said she thought the session would be short.
