“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

SESSION 460

(A nap after lunch seemed to restore Jane to a “workable state,” as she put it. Naturally we wondered what, if anything, Seth might say about the experience. I also read to Jane just before the session two questions I had written out recently for Seth’s consideration.)

(“Why is it that in cases of specific information, such as names, dates, places, etc., you [or Jane or Ruburt] will often delay giving the answer. That is, the answer will be put off until the next session. I have often noticed in such cases that if I don’t insist in the following sessions, the subject in question will not be voluntarily referred to again by you [or Jane or Ruburt.]”

Your ego, in common ordinary terms, has changed as a result of our sessions, in that it is now concerned with other realities also. In common sense terms, the ego handles manipulations within physical reality, and focuses brilliantly within a rather narrow range.

(10:15. Jane popped right out of trance. It was a funny situation. She knew what she had said about the book, under consideration at Ace Books, where Don Wollheim is editor-in-chief, and was at once concerned about distorting material, etc. “I wish I hadn’t said it,” she commented wryly, after I remarked that we hadn’t pushed for any answers from Seth; or even asked any questions about the dream book specifically, before the session.
