“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(At session time she sat waiting to see if a session would develop. None did, but she received brief notes from Seth: “You don’t have to worry about me drinking too much. I’m sick now from drinking what I did. Be comforting and put me to bed…. I can’t hold liquor. The problem will never arise. I drank too much and I can’t let Seth speak in his own voice, to answer my questions.” These Jane recited to me in her own voice.

(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.

(Again tonight the voice was clear, somewhat distant, and higher pitched than Jane’s usual voice. The voice was not faint however, and if anything was a bit stronger tonight than previously. Many pauses in the beginning, and the pace increased considerably as the session progressed. Eyes closed at start; then opening often later.)

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

(Jane said she saw a photographic “size and shape” while she was speaking, but the visual data weren’t clear here. She was aware of traffic noises as she left trance, but felt good; she missed the “good rich” Seth voice and feeling however.

(We wondered why Seth’s entity chose to give this data, since it seemed Seth could have done so. We thought that probably it was in preparation for later events. Jane resumed in the same dispassionate, higher voice as before, at 9:45.)

I am present in a different manner. I am not speaking as one who has been physically oriented when the other voice comes. (Pause.) Now to some extent this allows me to dispense with certain distortions necessarily a part of any personality who has been physically oriented.

(10:41—I called Jane’s name three times, and she came out of trance easily. “I’ll tell you what happened,” she said, “after I…” She rested briefly, then explained. When I asked the question about explaining a nonphysical life, Jane said she felt that Seth tried to switch to the other source or voice, after his own brief answer, so that we could get more data. As noted, a long pause followed here, but Jane subjectively was not aware of this. My next question, about the back, then threw her off, seeming to come instantly after the previous question, and she couldn’t make contact with Seth’s entity. Although she felt “up high.”

(The result here, Jane said, was that she wanted to end the session, but couldn’t get her own voice back, and “nobody helped her out.” This was when I sat waiting to see what developed. As it happened, I was about to end the session when Seth spoke again and suggested that we do so.
