“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

We didn’t realize either that the emergence of the Seth voice completed the psychic structure through which we would receive the Seth Material, and through which Seth’s personality would express itself. From this session on, there was always some voice change during sessions, but the deep booming tones were the exception rather than the rule for some time to come. On occasion there is the sense of really tremendous power behind the voice; and my own voice is never strained. [...] Now when Seth gives clairvoyant material, for example, the voice is seldom loud. [...]

The session began as usual, with no hint of the voice changes that would occur. I’d like to mention here that by now we had read several books on extrasensory perception, but still hadn’t come across anything about voice communication. [...] It had never occurred to either of us that my voice might change in any way.

“Looking at Jane and knowing her natural feminine voice so well, I had to think twice to realize that this other new voice was issuing from her in such volume, and with no strain at all. I don’t know whether I was more surprised at the fact that Jane seemed not at all disturbed by this voice, or by the fact that it had such a definite deep and masculine tone.”

Here, as Seth, I pounded on the desk for emphasis, and suddenly began speaking in a stronger voice. [...] Word by word the voice grew deeper, more formal, louder. [...]

Instantly my voice returned to normal. [...] Rob told me about the heavy masculine voice with its astonishing volume, and all around me I felt this high energy and great humor as if an invisible Seth were sitting there, smiling, ready to start a friendly chat.

[...] Rob was newly surprised at the deep voice that had started up again, and it took him a minute to think of something to ask. Besides, he was still laughing at Seth’s jovial manner, and the humorous gestures and voice inflections that were so unlike mine.

[...] About the voice, Seth said: “Ruburt’s voice is an experiment. [...]

“I fear that as a man’s voice, Jane will sound rather unmelodious. I do not have the voice of an angel by any means, but neither do I sound like an asexual eunuch, which is all I’ve been able to make her sound like tonight … and Ruburt, if you want a cigarette, get one. [...]

When the voice is deep and booming, I feel very small and surrounded by terrific energy. From what we have learned, the voice was a sort of indication of the amount of energy available; it served many purposes, besides helping to express Seth’s personality.

[...] We knew that the voice change was significant, of course, but we didn’t realize that the power behind the voice was the more important issue. [...]
