“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Notes: No session was held Monday, 5/13. Today Jane called Tam Mossman of Prentice-Hall, to discuss the prospectus for the Seth book suggested by Prentice-Hall.

(We sat ready for a session at 9 PM. Jane was still waiting by 9:10 for the session to begin; while feeling a little unsureness we were still confident that a session would be held. Notes later will explain the mechanisms involved.

(There was no greeting. Eyes open often.)

(Jane smiled, eyes open often, while giving this data. The voice was also a bit more emphatic and fast; perhaps this passage to date reflects the most individuality shown by this personality.)

The unscrambled information, again, would be meaningless, and even undependable. Ruburt’s initial experience represented such an encounter. It is only because of his own abilities that he was able to translate the information for himself to any degree.

Seth gave him the information in a dream. He was afraid of Seth but not of the information.

Now in your last session Ruburt was given a very primary experience. You asked what it was like to be a personality never formed into physical matter, and I helped him attain some awareness, subjectively, of that condition. He could not go far enough into that concept, but he was briefly between physical existences as you know them.

He told his students that he felt as if he were between worlds, and he was. The answer in this case was not given in words, and at first he did not realize that his experience was as much of an answer as he could be given now.

(True. Jane’s realization came last evening as she described the event to her ESP students. This was news to me, also, for she had not told me about it. She said that in between such events it is surprisingly easy to forget about them. Often a question or statement of mine, for instance, will remind her to tell me something. Note that in the last session, my notes contain no reference to Jane’s feeling that she was, however momentarily, between two worlds.)

But keep the event in mind. Some questions at times may be answered without words, though he will be able to interpret the answers. This was our first attempt only.

(9:30. Jane’s eyes stayed closed but she nodded that she was okay to my question, then came out of trance easily enough.

(Her pace had been faster this evening with the new voice, especially toward the break. We thought her between-worlds experience a very good sign, in that the new personality was already beginning to fulfill functions, to add new dimensions to the sessions. Before, we had wondered at the reasons for its appearance for it had seemed that Seth could have given the data as easily.

(“In the voice?” The question was poorly put. I meant the occasionally powerful Seth voice of the past.)

(Jane said that when “he” began talking about “my viewpoint,” she was really “up there” in the pyramid or cone. When I asked the question referring to the stronger Seth voice Jane felt somewhat bothered. The question, the interruption and the sound of my intruding voice, seemed to bother her and bring her down to another level, she said. Not greatly, but she did notice it. Nor do all questions bother her.

(Any difficulty persisted, she thought, just because of the newness in the sessions. But she did like to hear from Seth each session just to make sure he was still there.

(Seth then spoke out. I was somewhat surprised, thinking the session had ended. Seth was strong and immediate and vital, eyes open. 10:36.)

(Seth here was very funny and loud and emphatic. Eyes open.

(“Good night, Seth. Nice to hear from you.” 10:43. Jane left trance easily, saying Seth left an emotional feeling behind him. The other personality was gone at once. Jane had forgotten Seth’s data but remembered it when I mentioned it.)
