“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The notes will ramble somewhat; to save time little effort will be made to condense them or make them strictly chronological. They are for future reference mainly. We believe the events described to be quite authentic, but will have to wait for verification with no idea of how long this may take. Too, no verification may ever be obtained. For a similar episode, see the Jerry Kramerick seance, of January 13, 1968, described in the 391st session. [In that instance, the data could be verified at once.]

(At 10 PM I asked Jane if she could stop the sensations. She said perhaps, then reminded me she had suggested going out earlier—a suggestion I now remembered but hadn’t heeded at the time. Sitting on the couch with her back to the windows, Jane said she felt “scary” about going into a trance now. The feelings were still climbing. She said she’d know when they subsided. She felt “slightly” out of her body to her right as she sat there, but nothing drastic.

(This afternoon we’d had a strong thunderstorm. Jane now said that as she worked in the kitchen then she’d been aware of the charged air between the thunderclaps. She felt this way now, and quite light. She again walked through the apartment, and felt the same sensations, but stronger. The bathroom, she now said, was “too much.” Everything was too clear. Sitting down on the couch again, she felt like moving to the right out of her body again. I was getting very sleepy as I sat in the rocker making these notes. I yawned and yawned, yet did not feel tired. I’d had a mild tingling sensation a few times. We talked about a projection dream Jane had had thismorning. Tam Mossman had been in it. Jane has the dream recorded.

(Eyes still closed, face streaked with tears, Jane whispered, “I’m trying to control it...” Her breathing quieted as I talked to her. I thought of shaking her out of trance, but didn’t know whether to or not. Jane sat quietly through a long pause, then muttered: “Cracked glass ... windshield. I don’t know where I am now. I’m in the driver’s seat ... Whoever was on the other side of the car is gone.” [Pause.] “It’s very quiet ... Maybe nobody find—maybe nobody find us ...” she whispered. Each time I thought she might be coming out of it while quiet, Jane would then go back into the experience.

(There was a pause at 10:47. For the first time Jane’s eyes opened. Wide, they stared straight ahead, toward the bookcase. I soon saw that she was not seeing anything in the usual sense; nor did she hear me. Then her eyes closed. “Robby, tell them, whoever they are...they shouldn’t be here. It’s all right...”

(I did as Jane requested, repeating a few words several times. I saw nothing unusual in the room. At 10:51 Jane gave signs of coming out of the experience. “When I opened my eyes I got scared,” she said. “She wasn’t supposed to be here.”

(It was then I remembered hearing Tam mention his girl, Eve, over the weekend, for what this is worth. This morning after I left for work, Jane lay down to experiment with psy-time, and had a dream involving Tam Mossman; the location of the dream, and possible out-of-body experience, was in back of our apartment house, though, and not in New York City where Tam and Eve live. Jane had no idea of the location of her experience tonight. It took place at night. Jane had the impression of police cars during the experience but they hadn’t reached her yet; although the girl knew the police were near.

(Jane was not sure if her experience was contemporary. She never saw another car. She didn’t feel the collision. When she yelled out about the brakes she was terrified; she thinks she got scared at this point and pulled back. I told her, several times, not to go back into the experience as I asked questions. I also repeated that I’d not ask any questions if she so chose. Each time we discussed this point, it seemed to lead automatically to more questions, and so the interview after the experience continued as represented in these notes.
