“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I thought the other personality, who is still nameless, would speak after break. Now after our talk Jane sat upright in the rocker, her eyes closed, head back, sitting quietly with her lips moving soundlessly as if experimenting, trying for just the right approach so that the other personality could make entry through her.

(Finally she began. As expected the voice was quite high, clearly enunciating, seemingly distant and sexless; quite removed from any emotional immediacy. Jane’s eyes remained closed. Her pace was rather fast comparatively. As usual this new voice ended sentences on an unexpected upbeat, so that often a sentence was finished and a new one begun while I was writing without appropriate punctuation; then I would go back and add it in the proper places.

(John and I waited. Two minutes passed. Jane sat with her head back, eyes closed, head nodding a little back and forth—an effect often noticed since last break. Jane coughed finally, and I began to speak to her. Then Seth came through, loud and clear; the suddenness startled us. The contrast between the two voices, the mannerisms, was marked.

(Jane now felt the pyramid again, so sat leaning back in the rocker. Her eyes closed, and her head began to nod, her lips moving soundlessly. Resume at 10:26, fast pace, high voice, etc.)

(Jane’s eyes had been closed, and remained so. Oddly enough her glasses were on; nor did she lose them in the violent shaking. She was quiet now but it took some minutes before John and I could coax her out of trance. Needless to state the sudden end and reaction had been most startling to us. When her movements started I called loudly to her but did not get through.

(It wasn’t clear, Jane said, extremely difficult to put into words, but she found while speaking the appropriate lines that she was a giant, looking at John and me in the room, although her eyes were closed. She then experienced a tremendous feeling of growth. She felt her “organs growing,” along with John and me and everything in the room. Everything maintained its relative scale, but there was this enormous feeling of growth, as though each of us grew to the size of elephants, Jane said.

(“I don’t know whether he left me or not,” she said, “but suddenly I was me and all this was going on. It was fantastic. I was so completely enveloped by it ... I can’t describe it. I was so aware of everything in the room, but my eyes were closed all the time. It wasn’t great, this experience.”

(I hoped this meant the end of the session, but after a while it was obvious that Jane wanted to continue, or at least was willing to, in spite of the upsetting experience. I tried to talk her out of it. Her eyes kept closing. Finally she decided to continue.

(10:55. Jane again resumed in the now familiar high and distant, very formal voice; eyes closed.)
