“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane began speaking in a good voice, more emphatic than usual; her eyes opened at times, her pace was average.)

(Jane’s eyes closed. Her voice became slower. She had been holding a glass partially filled. Now it began to slip from her hand. Bill Gallagher took it out of her hand. Obviously she was going into a deeper trance and continued to do so as this material was delivered.)

(Here Jane’s voice grew uneven and quiet at times. I felt some alarm.)

He is behaving in a compulsive manner. (Jane’s head drooped) His activities will cause a near-(underlined) crisis situation at the paper. He is squeezing the life from it symbolically and he senses the emotional (Jane’s voice sounded almost drugged here) crisis toward which he is propelled. There will be repercussions at his home first, and signs appearing there first.

(10:17 break. Jane had a time coming out of the trance. Her eyes wouldn’t open, etc. Peg said that the atmosphere bit fits perfectly and that she and Bill had suspected a couple of the points already. Peg says that H [the man] does believe he is acting in response to his superiors. Jane agreed with my idea that Seth put her into deeper trance in order to allow the material to come through [since it is emotional, related to friends and so forth. After five or ten minutes Jane felt better, and had a cigarette.]

(10:31 resume. Jane’s eyes closed, head down voice slow with pauses. She goes into deep trance now, at once.)

(Jane’s head fell at an odd angle, her voice became lower.)

(Now Jane seemed to be whispering to herself and then mouthing the words just a bit louder, but so low I had to lean close.)

(All through here, Jane mouths the words, and repeats them a bit louder than a whisper.)

(In this last segment of the session, Jane’s voice was extremely low, and dwindled almost into nothing as the last words were spoken. I was very near interrupting the session. It was strange to see her whispering the words to herself then trying to make them audible to us. Many were repeated in this way. Jane didn’t feel particularly well before the session. After finally coming out of the trance—this took awhile —she felt good. She knew the glass was going to fall dimly, but after that she lost contact. She felt that her face was different in a strange manner, that muscles were relaxing into different forms but no one noticed any change. I rather think that Seth put her in a deep trance for this highly charged material to protect her from the sort of thing she went through with Barbara when he wasn’t around.)
