“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(At 8:45 tonight Jane said that Seth was going to talk about the York Beach apparitions we created at that resort in the summer of 1963, while on vacation there, in Maine. Jane had been writing about the incident this afternoon and I had wondered aloud if Seth could give more data on this. He had also discussed it in the early sessions to some degree.

(Jane began speaking in the usual Seth manner.)

(This was in reference to a poem Jane wrote after supper tonight, when she was low in spirits.)

(9:31. Jane’s trance had been a good one, her pace rather fast. Already, she said, she knew what Seth was going to discuss after break. Resume at 9:45.)

(“How much is Jane contributing now, physically, to your presence?”)

The poem was the resolution of the fear however, and a good sign. He does not need to fear the sudden release of the spontaneous self. (Jane pointed at me for emphasis.)He knows it is being released. He knows he is releasing it. But he has been afraid of releasing it suddenly, for fear it would engulf him. This is of course a symptom of the entire problem. (Leans forward.) It is the main reason he still has symptoms. It is why the few sudden releases, as with the Prentice letter, have in the past been followed by poorer days for a while.

(“While Jane and I were contending with those pseudoimages we had created at York Beach, in that crowded dancing establishment—did others in the room know what was going on?”)

(Here Seth refers to our seance of early 1964, and some physical effects manifested in Jane’s hands. Now Jane held up one hand, then pointed to it.

(10:30. Jane said the trance had been a deep one. Somehow she had felt freer during it, she said. Resume at 10:43.)

(“Will Jane be aware?”)

(10:53. Jane had again been in a deep trance, but left it quickly. She was aware of feeling strong energy, she said, as she does when she seems to be inside the voice. Resume briefly at 10:54.)
