“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(One section of the session was missed by me entirely, since I had left the house thinking the session over. This will be noted. When she spoke for Seth, Jane’s pace was somewhat faster than usual; eyes open often and quite dark, voice about average. There were no strong voice effects. I indicate breaks in my notes by the usual symbol: ...)

(Seth’s remark stemmed from the fact that Jane’s hair was continually falling over her forehead and eyes; she had taken to brushing it back often; usually her glasses would keep the hair out of her eyes, but as a rule she doesn’t wear glasses in trance.)

That has been done before. All of this has been done before. Through many ages, in one way or another, I have spoken. (Humorously:) I never shut up. And others have spoken ... And there is always the difficulty in maintaining the integrity of the material and keeping it free of distortion... I have worked very hard to help Ruburt condition himself to provide for the material’s integrity and cut down on distortions (Smile:) I would be appalled at going through that all over again.

You lost this finger and this finger in a brawl, cut by a knife. The brawl being over a woman. (Pause.) Now you played an instrument in which these fingers were valuable, and you were no longer able to play the instrument after the accident. Therefore you took on a helper, who played for you while you sang.

You have nothing to worry about in terms of possession. (He then implied that spirits that had left the earth were seldom responsible in the first place.) Worry itself will, however, induce (he may have said “duplicate” ) a state similar to the preliminary stages of possession. (A person) never becomes possessed unless he has requested it, (when he is not interested in, or afraid of life, and would like another to take over the job.)(Eve recalls that at this point, he added:)

(Note: earlier that week, I had a dream in which I had crawled through the air, wearing a light, felt-like beige cloth over my shoulders. I had ascribed it to projection.)
