“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Once new developments in Jane’s psychic abilities begin to show themselves, one can start backtracking to find possible origins. I’d say that her own awareness of multiple channels has grown out of her initial sensing of the channels available from Seth, as described in the 616th session in Chapter 2 of Personal Reality; and that her material on neurological speeds is related to the observations of Jane that were noted by Sue Watkins in Seth Speaks; see the 594th session in the Appendix of that book. I also think that a thorough search of earlier sessions would turn up many other clues, foreshadowing both eventualities.

(9:10 P.M. Jane began her own dictation before tonight’s session by saying that as she’d typed her statements yesterday [for Appendix 4] she would “get glimpses” of some of the concepts Seth was going to talk about in “Unknown” Reality — yet they would immediately vanish from her consciousness, so that all she had left was the knowledge that she’d experienced the insight.

(By now Jane was dictating steadily, almost as she does when speaking for Seth.) “Now everything I just said came in a flash while I was waiting for you to write down what you just wrote; but what I got originally was like a ball of string, so that as I explained it the string unraveled into the words …

(9:24.) “Now while giving all of that, I’m in some kind of altered state of consciousness that I can’t quite identify. What’s so strange about it, I guess, is that I don’t seem able to verbally put my fingers on it.” (Jane laughed, scrambling her syntax.) “I can’t pick it up, and for that reason it can get quite exasperating when I talk about it. I feel, though, that all of this is part of tonight’s session.”

[...] Jane had been speaking for Seth for three-quarters of an hour, and showed no real inclination to stop. As in the other sessions of this book, I was aware of an extra charge or impetus, an added determination on Seth-Jane’s part. Now in trance, Jane was going through these complicated sentences without trouble, even indicating punctuation.)

(Jane’s trance had been very deep. Now she was bleary-eyed: “I feel as though I don’t want to think for two weeks …” Seth hadn’t said so during the session, but Jane told me she’d “picked up from him” that she should eat an extra meal a day for a while — usually late at night, as, say, after a session. [...] Jane’s comments before tonight’s session about possible instructions from Seth are given in Appendix 5.

(“Can I ask a question?” As Seth, Jane nodded. [...] Still in trance, Jane nodded again when I had finished — and I had the distinct impression that I shouldn’t have interrupted her delivery.)

[...] Seth-Jane certainly appeared able to keep going. Jane had been in trance for an hour and forty-one minutes, but even so she was out of it rapidly. [...]
