“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(As the session began Jane’s voice was at once loud and quite a bit deeper than usual. This wasn’t her really strong voice by any means, yet it echoed from the living room walls; this effect I believe was accentuated because we had taken the rug up from the floor for the summer. But the voice was a good one, the best in many sessions. The windows were open and it easily rose above traffic sounds, etc.

Without these chemical and electromagnetic connections, (voice louder) the ego as such would not exist. The ego is largely dependent upon the physical mechanisms that compose the corporal image. It has its beginnings with corporal birth. While we speak of the ego, this part of the self is hardly permanent or constant, but ever-changing. However the intellect is also a portion, or an attribute, of the ego.

(It was 9:29. Jane did not take a break. Her delivery was by now very animated and her eyes had begun opening often. The voice was just as strong as before, showing no signs of fatigue. Occasionally Jane sipped some wine and smoked a cigarette.)

(Jane stopped speaking at 9:42 but did not come out of trance. This is the first such instance in the sessions. Her manner had been very active, her eyes open often, her voice strong. Now she sat without moving perceptibly, her eyes closed, for two minutes. I got up and moved around, then sat down again.

(At 10:15 Jane stopped speaking once again, ad sat very quietly, as before. Her voice had been strong and clear throughout, varying little in strength through the session. Since she was still in trance I thought it voluntary, and that she must feel in excellent form this evening. Her eyes were now closed.)

(I did, stretching. In an aside as I paced about, and as Seth, Jane assured me there was no rush to get back to notes, etc. But I was ready to resume at 10:18, and the strong voice once again boomed out.)

(She knew, she said, at once that the voice was strong and loud. From the moment the session began she was “within the voice,” as though wrapped in a cocoon. The voice swept her along as it has on a few occasions in the past. Nor did she know she would be kept in trance during breaks to rest my writing hand. She thought Seth did this to keep the session short, yet get lots of material through. She felt a sense of strangeness at break time because she didn’t leave trance, but was not worried, nor did she try to get out of trance. Jane said she now felt quite tired.

(The moment the session began Jane felt a great sense of confidence that she knew wasn’t hers—a sense that things were going to go extremely well. Throughout, her voice has been loud and strong, with an echoing quality engendered by our walls and the rugless floor.
