“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

SESSION 406

(Shortly before the session I showed Jane copies I had made of material Seth gave very early in 1964—just after the sessions began; the nine Inner Senses, taking up nine typed pages, and the eleven Basic Laws of the Inner Universe, taking up seven typed pages.

(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.

(She began speaking in trance as usual however; her start was late because of her lethargy; she “hung around” a bit waiting to see if a session would be held. But once begun the trance was good, eyes opening as usual, pauses as usual.)

Some of these I began to hint at in your basic laws. (Jane briefly picked up the material mentioned before the start of the session.) Since you are naturally interested in your own physical system, we will deal thoroughly with the methods by which reality turns itself into camouflage. Also, we will deal with other methods to be used by you, that will allow you to perceive more clearly the basic nature of reality (pause), in quotes “showing through” physical camouflage. (Smile.)

I am trying to give you an idea of the direction in which we will be moving. Questions such as those pertaining to life after death, in your terms, will be covered perhaps in a consecutive number of sessions, in which such matters will be covered in a body of material.

(In the last session Seth named some books and authors that he preferred Jane avoid, calling them too “spiritualistic.”)

(Voice louder.) There is a peculiar corner within Ruburt’s personality, also deflected into your own, that allows him a rather clear access into informational channels most difficult to reach from your system. During this particular session, and at this moment, the contact is particularly good. (Voice loud and staccato, eyes wide and dark.)

He feels this very strongly this evening. You had better end the session, and follow the procedure given to end the trance.

(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.

(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.)
