“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I did this because in the last session Seth said he would resume his discussion of theoretical material at any point we chose. I thought he could pick from this selection. Jane was tired this evening, and said, “If Seth can get anything out of me tonight he’ll be doing good.” She had been lethargic today, she said.

The inner psychological realization is the important event here, rather than, for example, the letter (from Prentice-Hall) itself. The true event is the psychological one. Ruburt’s readiness to do the kind of book he will now do was signaled by those episodes having to do with me in the dream book.

This aside from the fact that he had not come to terms with me nor the material.

Ruburt’s range is an excellent one however, for the plane that I have my main existence within is far beyond those to which those in the physical system have access. You and he must see to it then (Jane pointed vigorously at me) that he does not color his experiences with me through reading material that ‘is highly camouflaged and distorted, even though the distortion is well-meaning.

I am the Seth that I say I am, but I am also more. The Seth personality that is a part of me is the portion that can most clearly communicate with you. At some future time I will indeed discuss this more thoroughly, and on some occasions in the future you may become more aware of other portions of my reality. (Very forceful delivery.) Do you follow me? My reality includes the Seth reality.

There was no point in my mentioning this before. The Seth portion of me has been intimately connected with you both, and so in that respect have I. (Pause.) This is all closely related to the definition of a personality energy essence, from which of course all individuals spring.

(As Seth also suggested, I touched her leg at the ankle, since she sat across from me at the coffee table with her feet upon it. This too helped. I continued speaking to her and touched her other ankle. This time Jane jumped, very nearly violently, her eyes closed. In a few moments she said the mere touch caused her reaction. By now she was consciously aware that something definitely unusual had been taking place, and the second touch conflicted here.

(The energy sweeping her along was so strong, Jane said, that she now wondered how she would have ended the session had not the voice suggested this; but I could reassure her that from observation now I could tell when her trance was very deep, and knew enough now to end it when necessary. Jane said that tonight she was as “un-me” as she had ever been. In retrospect it was a bit frightening—there was a terrific sense of power and energy. She hadn’t been as “cozily Seth” as usual; less cozily a personality in our terms; but she also didn’t know who or what was responsible, aside from the great energy.

(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.)
