“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(This was a surprise, and it took me a moment to realize that Seth was referring to his own larger personality, his entity as we call it, and for whom Jane has occasionally spoken in a much different voice. See Jane’s notes at the end of this session.

(9:35. Jane’s trance was a good one but she came out of it easily enough after I spoke to her. She now told us that the other personality was about, and that she felt the pyramid effect to a mild degree. She whispered: “The other one is around here.” She began to sense the pyramid at break, after Seth had finished. We now explained something to John about the other personality, since he didn’t know anything about it.

(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.

You see physical bodies and suppose that any personality must appear in physical terms. None of you are physical; that which is enduring is not physical. In that respect at least you are no different than I. Consciousness is the force behind matter, and it forms many other realities beside the physical one. It is only because your own viewpoint is presently so limited that it seems to you that physical reality is the rule and the mode and the purpose of existence.

(Jane’s voice trailed off. I thought this could be a typical unannounced break by the new personality; I was also ready to interrupt if I thought Jane was trying to get out of trance and having some difficulty.

(Jane said that with the new personality she was still not sure how to leave. In this instance she merely waited, then felt Seth, warm and emotional, sweep in to help her back. She said that some sounds could bother her while speaking for the other personality, and that if I touched her without preparation she’d feel as though she’d fall through space, yell out, etc.

(Jane felt the other personality would return this evening, and said she wanted to wait and let it build up, forming a kind of flue or open pathway so that she’d go up this easily to make contact. Otherwise she’d have to “fight” her way up to make contact. She doesn’t really know how she does make contact, or how she times it—the pyramid helps out here though.

(When she could finally talk Jane revealed that she had been experiencing a concept to accompany the personality’s words; this she has done before when speaking for Seth’s entity, and we have been told before that this is one of the reasons or purposes for her speaking for this new personality. But this one was a rough trip, Jane said. This experience, Jane said, “wasn’t great.”

When we make contact his personality and consciousness in concentrated form makes its journey, in your terms like a speck in space, the consciousness reduced to its essence, and from this experience we then let him fall back into the physical system. (Pause.) Children’s blocks then become massive by contrast. It was an experience in concepts, and therefore an advance on your parts. (Smile.)

(She described some subjective experiences she thought the personality was going to have her experience. A feeling of microscopic smallness approaching, the reverse of the giant feeling, etc. I told her she’d have to write out the data. She said the ideas were quickly leaving; the feelings were without words and she wasn’t used to that yet. She thinks she panics and so shuts the voice off. The pyramid effect was dwindling by 11:15.
