“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Without a break Jane went from her Seth trance into another very creative mode of consciousness. For perhaps five minutes she sang to the class in Sumari,² the trance language she initiated a few years ago. I’ve always found the quality of her Sumari expression to be of a high order. Each song is unique and thrilling, whether it’s muted or powerful, melodic or animated; often the particular delivery is made up of a combination of such attributes, as it was this evening. Class members discussed the song briefly. Then Jane came through as Sumari once more, but this time she spoke in conversational tones.³ Immediately she was finished, Seth returned:)

3. Jane also writes poetry in Sumari, and can translate it into English. When they’ve been recorded she can do the same with her Sumari songs and her verbal prose, as I call it. Later, as we discussed her use of Sumari in the material for this appendix, I asked her if she could describe the subjective feelings involved with her ability to go so quickly from Seth to Sumari, as well as to reverse the order.

“There’s nothing I can say,” she wrote, “except that the transformation is so smooth and natural to me now that later it’s hard — almost impossible — to pinpoint my feelings. I think that Seth’s energy propels me into Sumari when he initiates a song, as he did here. I just feel great energy, changing from one ‘slot’ to another.”
