“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(As we waited for the session to begin tonight, Jane said she still wasn’t used to the new method, the new voice; she still waits for its beginning, then is okay once started. Now, the very definite Seth voice and personality are missed.

(Just before the session, Jane told me later, she was again aware of the cone affect, which she calls an obvious intellectual attempt to visualize the new as it is postulated in the sessions. As before, Jane felt the presence of the base of the cone at the top of her head; this is where she and I fit in. Just above us is Seth; above both is the new development that we have come to call Seth’s entity; this is the peak of the cone. Jane gets her data, she said, from this peak and it seems distant and relatively emotionless.

(Apropos of the above, I quote briefly from an article in the New York Times for May 9, 1968, written by Walter Sullivan and datelined May 8 from Cambridge, Massachusetts. However, Jane and I did not see the article until the day after tonight’s session; note that this session is held on the same day the article was published. A friend gives us the Times after he is through with it, the day after publication.

New discoveries of the qualities inherent in the molecule will lead to an understanding of molecular consciousness, at least a rudimentary knowledge. The implications here again will not be recognized for some time.

Together, psychology and physics could bring about a new understanding of the nature of man, but the hints and signs will remain dormant and unused.

Physicists however will be forced to recognize that the energy within molecular structures has its origin elsewhere. (Jane was restless during this delivery, rubbing her face and hair.) They will be forced to postulate the existence of an unknown force, always existing despite newer current theories. No postulated new force theory will be able to explain reality.

I want to make this clear: no postulated new force theory will answer their questions until it is realized that no system is closed, and that the physical universe is not the origin of, but the result of, the energy that they seek. (Pause.)

(Jane’s delivery was faster and quite emphatic in here, in the new higher voice. Eyes open often. Now she took a long pause.)

(9:36. Jane’s eyes opened almost at once, and she easily came out of trance. There was still an element of unsureness in it, she said, but her ease of operation under the new regime was obvious.

(10:03. Jane again came out of trance easily. The sudden break surprised us. At the last break and this one, I had felt that Jane’s delivery slowed down as break time approached, something like a spring unwinding. Not that energy wasn’t available behind the material, but that perhaps something got in the way of the delivery. Perhaps, still, the newness of this latest approach.
