“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane’s voice had begun to strengthen more, her delivery becoming rather sharp and rapid. She said she had felt the energy, carrying her along, that has begun to reveal itself regularly. After break I could tell the trance was deeper and stronger yet. Resume at 10:10.)

There is also an access to energy far beyond that which is usually experienced. Ruburt sensed this quite well in the past, and feared to open those channels until he felt himself suitably ready and prepared. There exists, in other words, what could almost be compared to a psychological and psychic warp in dimensions, (pause) and that corner in Ruburt’s personality is an apex point at which communication and contact can be made.

(Jane said, eyes closed, “I don’t know what to do now.” Her feeling was related, she now said, to the feeling she’d had all day, the lethargy, in a way she couldn’t explain. Yet apprehension wasn’t a part of it. She now felt chilly. I got her a glass of water.

(Jane said she knew that if I hadn’t closed her off she’d still be going; she still felt the energy surging within her. “It’s wild.” She found herself breathing deeply. She had an odd feeling of elephantiasis in her head, she said: “My ears feel like they’re out to here” —and she held up her hands a foot away from her ears. This is an effect both of us have noted occasionally before.

(Jane still felt the energy at 10:41. She said she felt that when she stood up she would shoot ahead through the wall—shoot straight ahead—she felt a great energy about her, and wondered about her physical control. Actually she moved about normally when she did get up. Yet her feet felt like lead, to her surprise, and she was surprised at the sheer physical movement.

(When the additional energy began to manifest itself after break, Jane said it seemed another channel opened up, a great energy. She felt it being transformed into words through her. It was the best feeling of its kind she’d ever had, “as though this energy was coming from a very distant place, or great depths,” yet she was aware of words as she spoke them. This appears to be in conflict with accounts we have read, wherein mediums have no awareness or memory of events in trance. Yet Jane’s trance was very obviously an excellent one. Now however, all Jane remembered was that the voice said she was reaching beyond the usual Seth personality.

(Jane said the feeling involved—so vast—doesn’t show up very well in the transcript, but never before had she so definitely felt the source or impetus of the energy involved as being from someplace else, of its being “not me.”

(At 11:07 she still felt the energy, but it was slowly diminishing; although still strong. Jane feels the energy went through her yet left a residue, for she now felt much better than before the session. Again in retrospect, she said the episode was “slightly scary,” while agreeing that she had given inner permission for it to take place. She asked me to make these detailed notes for later reference.)
