“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Before the session I described to Jane my dream of Wednesday, December 6;and the second vision I had, of another painting, on the evening of Thursday November 30; the first painting vision being the one of Bill Gallagher on November 28,1967, and discussed by Seth in the 382rd session.

(I also described to Jane a vision I had upon awakening on Saturday morning, Dec. 9, and sketched in my dream book.)

(Jane said she was a little tired this evening. She began in trance while seated in our rocking chair, using a quiet voice and pauses, eyes open at times.)

He did very well with his class, not only by holding our session (see the last session, Jane’s first without my presence), but by releasing and vocalizing his deep inner convictions. This helped his students immeasurably. He was helped, for part of himself was another student, listening.

You saw that she still carried, as Jane, the abilities and responsibilities while in the middle of the stream. Had the dream not ended you would have made your way across to him, in time (smile), to help him up when he fell—this symbolic of his difficulties in the past year. The others were individuals that you have known.

(10:10. Jane was dissociated as usual. I believe the dream discussed above might have been interrupted by the alarm clock. As Jane spoke I became aware that I had felt quite sleepy at times. She resumed at 10:22.)

(10:36. Jane was out as usual. During the delivery I had become increasingly sleepy— so much so that at times I had to struggle to keep my eyes open; at times I let them close briefly in relief. I felt as though a trance state might be trying to intrude, rather than being aware of any general weariness. As I wrote, I looked about the room in hopes I might see something unusual— Seth etc., but noticed nothing.

(At break I got up and walked about, explaining how I felt to Jane. I cleared up a little during break, but when Jane resumed at 10:50 I found myself back in the state, fighting to keep my eyes open, etc.)

I will now close. Now you (Jane pointed to me as Seth), for a very brief time, close your eyes and see if you experience anything. My best wishes to you.

(11:02.Still in trance, Jane sat quite still in her rocker until 11:07. Her eyes were closed, and she was Seth for the next five minutes.

(Every so often I deliberately opened my eyes to check on Jane, but she sat quite still. Later she told me she opened her eyes briefly, once, just before 11:07. At first I perceived nothing unusual, and felt my own relaxation wasn’t what it might be. Finally, very briefly but rather clearly, I visioned internally the hanging sculpture sketched below. I knew it was mine. The piece was in cast iron, with a soft mottled black-brown patina, densely conceived, and I liked it very much. It was perhaps two and a half feet high, hanging from a ceiling by a chain.

(Jane told me that during this experiment she was aware of a “cone” of energy being focused in my direction from herself, with the wide end of the cone at her end—she could not really describe this feeling, she said, any better than this.
