“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(See the notes on page 194, preceding the 455th session for January 6, 1969, re the books Jane will write. These notes contain a brief summary of an unscheduled session held over the Xmas holidays, withSue Mullin and Carl Watkins as witnesses. I would now like to add to those notes.

(I neglected to add that after this unscheduled session, which was held at night, Jane also spoke as Ruburt. This was the first time I had seen this take place, although it has happened a few times before, usually in ESP class. See the notes on page 122, 444th session for October 30, 1968. On the occasion I witnessed, I do not recall what Jane said as Ruburt.

(In the 444th session also, Seth deals with Jane-Ruburt at length. )

(9:35. Jane came out of trance rather quickly; her eyes remained dark, her manner subdued, and she said: “Yeah, I’m pretty Seth yet, but I’m also conscious of that music.” The music was still noisy from below us.

(While moving about in the kitchen during break Jane got this within: “Ruburt is only now beginning to start upon his life’s work.” Sitting down a bit later she said: “I’m trying to get back in,” meaning trance, “but that music downstairs bothers me.” Resume finally at 9:48. )

(Recently we have been moving all of Jane’s old poetry, novel, short-story, psychic, and other manuscripts and notes, dating back to her grade-school work, out of the upstairs storeroom into our roomy front-room closet. In the process she has come to read over a lot of her earlier work, with eye-opening insights, etc.)

As he himself suspected, there has been a personality reorganization on Jane’s part, and for the abilities to be used fully, such reorganization was necessary. A reorganization would have occurred in any case, only it could have resulted in diminution of effective ability, instead of a magnification. He recognized this, feeling that while he highly enjoyed science fiction it was a dead end, for the answers he sought could not be worked out even through philosophical fiction.

(10:23. Jane just about had time to leave trance, say to me, “The session isn’t quite over yet,” sip some wine and offer a few ideas, when she resumed at 10:29.)

(10:43. Jane snapped right out of trance, quite alert; she remembered the last part of the data and said she “got scared” while giving it, re astral travel. Yet after supper tonight she said she wished Seth would help her out while projecting.

(This session was held on Monday, January 13. It is Friday, January 17. To date Jane has had no such unusual projecting experience as outlined above by Seth.)
