“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane finds her “massive feelings,” as she calls them, not only instructive psychically, but exhilarating indeed when they encompass revelatory or transcendent states of consciousness. One day in April, 1973, she had a fine series of encounters with massiveness, many of them embodying those extra qualities; see her own account of the whole adventure in the notes for the 653rd session in Chapter 13 of Personal Reality.

“At 8:45 I walked into the living room to waken Jane for the evening’s session. She continued to lie quietly on the couch, eyes closed, but in a few minutes told me she’d just been visited by a most strange sensation. From her description of it I thought she might have been exploring an ability related to the inner senses. So far, Seth has explained six of these. (Several years later, Jane was to list nine such inner senses in Chapter 19 of The Seth Material.) Jane said that upon coming slowly awake from her nap she’d had the very peculiar feeling of ‘growing larger.’ The laughing phrase she used was that she’d felt as ‘big as an elephant.’ Her boundaries of awareness seemed to have expanded. Holding her hands up on either side of her head, she indicated a width of almost three feet; her head had literally felt that wide to her.

“Jane added that when we close our eyes we’re aware of a certain ‘area of blackness,’ one we’re used to. While she’d been in this unusual state, that area was much enlarged — she used the words ‘infinitely large’ to describe it. Jane said it was as though her eyes had actually moved further apart to create this expanded field of awareness, of infinite black. She hadn’t sensed anything happening within this area, but thought that she might have, given more knowledge and experience. She hadn’t been frightened by the sensation, and went along with it. She didn’t have it now that her eyes were open, yet the physical feeling of enlargement had been so strong there could be no doubt of it …

“As we talked, Jane suddenly announced that her experience had triggered her memory: She’d had similar sensations of enlargement twice before. Both took place before she started the sessions late in 1963; one in October, 1963, say, and the other one over a year before that perhaps in March, 1962. She couldn’t be sure of either date. She felt each one upon awakening from a nap, but with her eyes still closed. Neither event had made as much of an impression on her as tonight’s experience, for she hadn’t sensed the odd, infinite black within the expanded area of the skull. Since she’d been alone on each occasion, she simply forgot to tell me about either one of them.”

[...] “I had the feeling of my hair being long and parted in the middle, as though I’ve got some kind of humanoid features; you know, with the hair hanging down on each side of my face, which is something like an animal’s — but with very intelligent eyes, very warm and soft.”⁸ Jane finally opened her eyes. [...] “It’s as though I’m seeing or feeling what I’m capable of at the moment, but I know there’s more there behind that. I can feel it, but I can’t get it out.”

[...] I was getting stuff earlier, but I’m just waiting until it’s ready. I can feel concepts in my head, but they aren’t clear yet, not the way they should be. [...]

[...] In your reality, experience is dependent upon time, but all experience is not so structured. [...]

In the same way that you latch upon one personal biological history, you latch upon but one mass earth history. [...]
