“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Quickly now, Jane began to talk, and I encouraged her to do so. At the same time she turned on her side toward me and drew her legs up, almost in a fetal position. She also began to cry. Her voice however never became loud. Her eyes did not open. She said two things, close together, that I at once recognized as important. [Both of these were elaborated upon later.]

(The first was that her troubles began in Florida; that it was her fault we left Sayre to join her father in Florida, and that I had not wanted to leave my parents. [I had cried in the car as we drove out of Sayre on the way south, but had, I thought, regarded this as natural enough at the time.] Jane told me that it was her fault we had chased around the country, that her spontaneity had done nothing but get us into trouble. Jane described how she had become very frightened in Florida over the job situation, and that I had been forced to get a job anyhow even though I had told her most emphatically that I didn’t intend to do this. [When we went to Florida it had been agreed upon that she would hold a job while I tried out some painting ideas. Her father was to help us out financially also, but did not do so.]

(I was more open and reassuring with Jane during this session than I have been for some time, and I told her I realized this was a fault on my part, and that I would do my best to remedy it.

(I think that more suggestions would have induced an even deeper state with her, and that probably amnesia could have been induced in this deeper state had I so desired. After the session Jane said she felt very relaxed, although I believe she has induced as good a state in some of her self-hypnosis sessions. I did not give her a key word, for instance, to speed up future inductions, but plan to do so when I have more experience.
