“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.

(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.

(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.

(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.)

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

(Jane then said she had a bunch of concepts to tell us about, but didn’t want to experience them now, so she called to me. I had been speaking to her at each pause since last break, to give her something to hold on to. She said she didn’t know how or what she used to speak to me, but had hold of something. At one period Jane was going to shout “forget it” to the voice, but she couldn’t find her voice to do so.

(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.
